SSTI in Flask and Jinja

SSTI in Flask and Jinja

Fuzzing vulnerable payloads in request body and query params to assess Server-Side Template Injection vulnerability.

Server Side Template Injection (SSTI)

"By fuzzing vulnerable payloads in request bodies and query parameters, it aims to identify and exploit Server-Side Template Injection vulnerabilities specific to Flask and Jinja templates. This test assesses the risk of arbitrary code execution, data exposure, and server compromise within the Jinja templating engine, ensuring comprehensive security assessment."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The template uses regular expressions to match any request payload or query parameter key. It extracts the matched key and assigns it to the variables "payloadKey" and "queryKey" respectively.

Execute request

The template modifies the query parameter "queryKey" by injecting the value "%24%7B%277%27%20*%207%7D", which represents the expression "${'7'*7}". It also modifies the request body parameter "payloadKey" by injecting the value "${'7'*7}". These modifications aim to test for Server-Side Template Injection vulnerabilities.

Validation

The template validates the response payload by checking if it contains the string "7777777". If the response payload contains this string, it indicates a successful exploitation of the Server-Side Template Injection vulnerability.
