Meet the Hacker: Inti De Ceukelaire - "While everyone is looking for XSS I am just reading the docs."

Inti was recently speaking at Detectify Hacker School, an event for customers where we have hacker talks and user cases presented to the audience. Afterwards our security researcher, Linus Särud, sat down with him for a hacker-to-hacker interview discussing how he got into bug bounty, his unconventional bug hunting ways and his take on why the European market is an ocean opportunity for bug bounty hunters.

Scaling up Security with DevOps and CI/CD practices

Some believe that “whatever can be automated, should be automated” and in general benefits include faster production, consistency in product and quality, rolling back from failures and all allowing employees to focus on more creative and analytical tasks. The same can be said for the automation of quality assurance and security of developer coding and programming.

Proof of Concept: CVE-2017-9791 Apache Struts OGNL Expression Injection

Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) is an expression language for handling Java objects. When an OGNL expression injection vulnerability is present, it is possible for the attacker to inject OGNL expressions. Many critical Apache Struts CVEs are the result of GNL expression injection. Watch our short attack demo video where we explain Apache Struts OGNL expression injection and how it works.

Apache Struts Vulnerabilities

Apache Struts is a well-known development framework for Java-based web applications that is mostly used in enterprise environments. If you search for Apache Struts CVEs on MITRE, you currently get 77 results, and most of the critical ones are due to OGNL expression injection, which is very similar to SSTI (Server Side Template Injection) attacks. In this article we will go through the security history of Apache Struts, common Apache Struts security issues and the impact of these vulnerabilities.
