Time Based SQLi in the Referer Header- 293

  • SQL injection is about being able to directly modify the SQL query being made. By altering the logic of the query, data can be stolen or altered in the database.
  • Because NO data is returned back to the user, this was a blind SQLi. So, in order to exfiltrate data, a timing based method was used in order to leak data.
  • Timing Based SQLi is not something new. Personally, I found that the SQLi existed in the Referer header to be very interesting! Why here?
  • The Request Headers are data that is processed to! Giving a small set of test cases, even on very common headers, can cause some fruit :)
