Eric Butera emailed me with a very interesting topic about protecting against PHP_SELF exploits. I thought it might be a good idea to gather a few test cases demonstrating the problem. Why PHP allows these URL’s is beyond me and it wouldn’t take much work to filter out these malicious URL’s in the PHP code.

For any of you that don’t know, it’s possible to inject code into PHP_SELF. It works by supplying a “/” after the actual PHP file then entering your desired code. I’ve done 4 test cases which show how it’s possible to inject javascript and perform a redirect on code which doesn’t filter PHP_SELF correctly.

Test case 1

Injects data into a HTTP header, although this scenario is not very likely I thought I would include it to show that even running htmlentities or htmlspecialchars won’t save you from attack completely.

Test case 2

Shows how easy it is to inject XSS into links, this is very likely as many PHP applications ofter refer to the same page to change the current action/display.

Test case 3

A search page often includes references to PHP_SELF and can be exploited as easily as links.

Test case 4

Finally I show how code can be injected directly on the page without the need to break out of anything.

The test cases can be downloaded here:-
