Clipboardme : Grab & Inject Clipboard Content By Link

Clipboardme is a tool used to grab and inject clipboard content by link. Browsers are implementing a new JavaScript API for asynchronous clipboard access to integrate copy and paste into web applications.

It is a replacement for the synchronous execCommand-based copy & paste. Async Clipboard requests doesn’t block the page while waiting the process, it’s a improvement over sync requests as well as simplifying events and aligning them with the Drag & Drop API.

It is a pentester tool that can read and write content to the clipboard by just opening a link, using async clipboard API.

How does Async Clipboard API work?

Copy: Writing Text to the Clipboard

Text can be silently and automatically copied to the clipboard by calling writeText(), without requesting permission. Example:

<script>
navigator.clipboard.writeText(‘Malicious command to be copied’);
</script>

Simple, huh? How dangerous it can be if the user is convinced to run the clipboard content? A windows reverse shell can be made if a user type the following shortcut sequence after visiting the malicious website generated by clipboardme: windows+x, p, ctrl + v. No need to hit enter, just persuade the target to run that “shortcut” for an attacker take control of a windows system. This scenario can occur when the target is supposed to execute clipboard contents.

Paste: Reading Text from the Clipboard

Text can be read (requires permission) from the clipboard by calling readText(). Example:

<script>
navigator.clipboard.readText().then(clipText => document.write(clipText));
</script>

Users routinely copy sensitive information like passwords and personal details to the clipboard, which could then be read by any page. Clipboardme tool can create a HTTPS malicious page to grab that content.

To help prevent abuse, clipboard access is only allowed when a page is the active tab and over secured domains (https). Pages in active tabs can write to the clipboard without requesting permission, but reading from the clipboard always requires permission.
