In Code Injection, the privilege of reverse shell is mostly root/ admin after the execution of code on remote machine because most of the time programming languages are executed with high privileges. For example: id, whoami, ipconfig or any valid OS command. For example: any valid php code, python code, ruby code, etc. Here the injected payload is any programming language code. Code Injection Vs Command Injection Code InjectionĬode Injection is the general term for attack types which consists of injecting code that is then interpreted/executed by the application.Ĭommand Injection is an attack vector pertaining specifically to the injection of OS commands in remote machine through vulnerable web application. This vulnerability always compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information present on the remote vulnerable machine.ĭon’t get confused with Code Injection because Code Injection and Command Injection both are different vulnerabilities.
Once an attacker injects any arbitrary OS Command on server OS through the vulnerable application, he can completely compromise the server. This vulnerability is also referred with various other names like OS injection, OS command injection, shell injection, shell command injection, etc. How to protect application from this vulnerability? What is command injection?Ĭommand Injection is the most dangerous web application vulnerability (rated mostly 9-10.0/10.0 in CVS Score) that allows an attacker to run any arbitrary OS command on host Operating System using vulnerable web application. How to identify Command Injection vulnerability? Why Command Injection vulnerability arises? Again, I am writing this article from very beginners’ point of view, keeping in mind you don’t know anything about Command Injection vulnerability.īefore we go to exploit DVWA challenge let me clear your concept on Command Injection vulnerability and understand answer of some question like: In this article, I will show you how to exploit Command Injectionvulnerability in the same web application at low, medium and high security, simultaneously by reviewing their php source code. In my previous article of DVWA series I have demonstrated how to exploit DOM based XSS vulnerabilities at low, medium and high security in DVWA Web Application and we have also reviewed the php source code which was running on server.
