I am thrilled to announce that in 2023-24, I've contributed to Microsoft's cybersecurity efforts by reporting and resolving Blind and Stored XSS vulnerabilities across various subdomains.
I am delighted to share that my efforts have been recognized, and I have been awarded bounties for my contributions.
Reports:
20 - Blind & Stored XSS
2 - N/A
5 - Duplicates
7 - OOS ( Valid but Not Eligible for Bounty)
6 - Bounties
Total - $18,000
Methodology:
In my XSS testing journey on Microsoft platforms, I've consistently relied on a simple yet effective method. Whenever I encounter input fields, I meticulously inspect each response using BurpSuite. Here's how I do it:
1) Payload Inspection: Before saving any input, I insert various payloads into the input boxes and monitor the responses in Burp Suite.
2) Understanding HTML Character Entities: Often, I notice that the platform converts my payloads into HTML Character Entities. For instance:
< (less than) becomes `& lt;`
> (greater than) becomes `& gt;`
3) Payload Crafting: Armed with this knowledge, I analyze the code and existing protections in place. Then, I tweak my payloads accordingly to bypass these defences.
4) Effective Payloads: One of the payloads that consistently worked for me was:
<iframe/onload=alert(document.domain)>
By understanding how the code interprets and protects against XSS attacks, we can craft payloads that evade detection and uncover vulnerabilities effectively.
A huge thank you to the Microsoft Security Response Center for their responsiveness and collaboration throughout this process. Together, we are working towards a safer digital landscape for all users.
