Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
git clone https://github.com/hariharan005/CORS.git
ls
cd CORS
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 cors.py
For scanning:
cat <domain.txt> | xargs -n1 -P10 python3 corss.py
For scanning with output:
cat <domain.txt> | xargs -n1 -P10 python3 corss.py | tee -a <output.txt>
If the header returns the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://vulnerable.com/ Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true its vulnerable
Note: Not all the time its seems vulnerable, you have to check with cors payload and in the authenticated manner also. Try to exploit and this tool is only for indentifying the vulnerable domain
Note: In this tool i used sample domain file but you have to choose your own url file which you recon using some other recon tool.
Here is the Example code for exploiting the CORS misconfiguration:
Goto this line and replace the URL xhr.open("GET", "https://www.vulnerable.com/blog/wp-json/", true);

}
};
xhr.open("GET", "https://www.vulnerable.com/blog/wp-json/", true);
