Creating Modules
Creating a module is flexible and allows for override of the BaseClass methods for each module as well as creating their own methods
Each module in Modules directory is implementing properties and methods from core.modules.BaseClass, thus each module’s required parameter is BaseClass
Once created, module needs to be imported in modules/__init__.py. Module and class name must be consistent in order to module to be loaded.
If you are opening pull request to add new module, please provide unit tests for your module as well.
Module Template
Modules/ExampleVulnerability.py
from core.modules import BaseClass
class ExampleVulnerability(object):
# Vulnerability name name = “Cross-site Scripting”
# Vulnerability severity severity = “Low-Medium”
# Functions causing vulnerability functions = [ “print” “echo” ]
# Functions/regex that prevent exploitation blacklist = [ “htmlspecialchars”, “esc_attr” ]
Overriding regex match pattern
Regex pattern is being generated in core.modules.BaseClass.build_pattern and therefore can be overwritten in each module class.
Modules/ExampleVulnerability.py
import copy…
Build dynamic regex pattern to locate vulnerabilities in given content
def build_pattern(self, content, file):
user_input = copy.deepcopy(self.user_input)
variables = self.get_input_variables(self, content)
if variables:
user_input.extend(variables)
if self.blacklist:
blacklist_pattern = r”(?!(\s?)+(.*(” + ‘|’.join(self.blacklist) + “)))”
else:
blacklist_pattern = “”
self.functions = [self.functions_prefix + x for x in self.functions]
pattern = r”((” + ‘|’.join(self.functions) + “)\s{0,}\(?\s{0,1}” + blacklist_pattern + “.*(” + ‘|’.join(user_input) + “).*)” return pattern
