本篇继续对于安全性测试话题,结合DVWA进行研习。

Insecure Captcha不安全验证码

1. 验证码到底是怎么一回事

这个Captcha狭义而言就是谷歌提供的一种用户验证服务,全称为:Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (全自动区分计算机和人类的图灵测试)。

很巧妙的是,Captcha单独成词的意思就是,抓到你了哟^_^

Captcha在各种海外网站被广泛用于用户验证。而在国内,由于众所周知的原因,我们不用谷歌的服务,很多接口平台都可以提供类似服务。

比如apishop的这个四位验证码服务接口:

那么验证码到底在用户验证的过程中起到什么样的作用呢?

验证码最大的作用就是防止攻击者使用工具或者软件自动调用系统功能

就如Captcha的全称所示,他就是用来区分人类和计算机的一种图灵测试,这种做法可以很有效的防止恶意软件、机器人大量调用系统功能:比如注册、登录功能。

我们前面讲到的Brute Force字典式暴力破解,就必须要使用工具大量尝试登录。如果这个时候系统有个严密的验证码机制,此类攻击就无计可施了。

其工作流程如下所示:

2. 验证码绕过

为什么前文要在验证码机制前面黑体强调他要是严密的,那当然是如果验证码机制设计不得当,绕过它也只是分分钟的事情。。。

DVWA提供的试验模块长这个样子:

我们将其安全级别调到最低,使用ZAP做为代理进行抓包,填入任意密码触发请求,看到请求内容如下:

image.png

这是个啥子意思呢,我们参考一下DVWA的后台逻辑:

<?php

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '1' ) ) {
	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];

	// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
		$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key'],
		$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
	);

	// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
	if( !$resp ) {
		// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
		$html     .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
		return;
	}
	else {
		// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
		if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
			// Show next stage for the user
			$html .= "
				<pre><br />You passed the CAPTCHA! Click the button to confirm your changes.<br /></pre>
				<form action=\"#\" method=\"POST\">
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"2\" />
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_new\" value=\"{$pass_new}\" />
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_conf\" value=\"{$pass_conf}\" />
					<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Change\" value=\"Change\" />
				</form>";
		}
		else {
			// Both new passwords do not match.
			$html     .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
			$hide_form = false;
		}
	}
}

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '2' ) ) {
	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];

	// Check to see if both password match
	if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
		// They do!
		$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
		$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );

		// Update database
		$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "';";
		$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );

		// Feedback for the end user
		$html .= "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
	}
	else {
		// Issue with the passwords matching
		$html .= "<pre>Passwords did not match.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
	}

	((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}

?>

代码有点长,但是可以明显看出来,这个机制是很简单的。整个验证逻辑将验证分为两步:Step1,Step2,而对于captcha验证的逻辑只存在于Step1中的小小一段:

image.png

既然所有验证逻辑都只存在于Step1,那么如果我直接绕过它,有可能吗?

其实非常简单,这里我们要用到抓包-改包-重发的方法,ZAP已经给我们提供了“请求断点”功能。

image.png

点击上图中绿色断点按钮,ZAP就进入请求断点状态,在此状态下ZAP不再简单的将客户端和服务器之间的请求交互转发,而是像其他编程工具的断点功能一样,让请求反馈变为单步执行。那么我们就可以在请求发出,尚未传递至服务器之前,对请求内容进行篡改:

image.png

改包重发的结果:

image.png

密码修改成功,而这整个过程中我们完全没有去处理captcha的验证码,也就是说这个验证码被完全绕过了!

3. DVWA的验证码机制完善防御

既然验证码逻辑是有可能被绕过,接下来我们来研究一下,如何建立更完善的机制呢。

Medium级别

<?php

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '1' ) ) {
	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];

	// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
		$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
		$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
	);

	// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
	if( !$resp ) {
		// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
		$html     .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
		return;
	}
	else {
		// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
		if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
			// Show next stage for the user
			$html .= "
				<pre><br />You passed the CAPTCHA! Click the button to confirm your changes.<br /></pre>
				<form action=\"#\" method=\"POST\">
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"2\" />
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_new\" value=\"{$pass_new}\" />
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_conf\" value=\"{$pass_conf}\" />
					<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"passed_captcha\" value=\"true\" />
					<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Change\" value=\"Change\" />
				</form>";
		}
		else {
			// Both new passwords do not match.
			$html     .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
			$hide_form = false;
		}
	}
}

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '2' ) ) {
	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];

	// Check to see if they did stage 1
	if( !$_POST[ 'passed_captcha' ] ) {
		$html     .= "<pre><br />You have not passed the CAPTCHA.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
		return;
	}

	// Check to see if both password match
	if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
		// They do!
		$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
		$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );

		// Update database
		$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "';";
		$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );

		// Feedback for the end user
		$html .= "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
	}
	else {
		// Issue with the passwords matching
		$html .= "<pre>Passwords did not match.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
	}

	((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}

?>

主要的机制在这里:
image.png

加入了验证第一步是否通过的判断。

唔。。。其实没什么变化,同样改包重发一键搞定,无非是多加了一个参数:

image.png

High级别

<?php

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) ) {
	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];

	// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
		$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
		$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
	);

	if (
		$resp || 
		(
			$_POST[ 'g-recaptcha-response' ] == 'hidd3n_valu3'
			&& $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_USER_AGENT' ] == 'reCAPTCHA'
		)
	){
		// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
		if ($pass_new == $pass_conf) {
			$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
			$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );

			// Update database
			$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "' LIMIT 1;";
			$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );

			// Feedback for user
			$html .= "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";

		} else {
			// Ops. Password mismatch
			$html     .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
			$hide_form = false;
		}

	} else {
		// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
		$html     .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
		return;
	}

	((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}

// Generate Anti-CSRF token
generateSessionToken();

?>

High级别的变动还比较多:

通过前两两个级别的攻破,我们应该知道,增加的这个参数根本没啥用;而user-agent也是完全可以改包的。

改包如下即可绕过:

image.png

Impossible

<?php

if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) ) {
	// Check Anti-CSRF token
	checkToken( $_REQUEST[ 'user_token' ], $_SESSION[ 'session_token' ], 'index.php' );

	// Hide the CAPTCHA form
	$hide_form = true;

	// Get input
	$pass_new  = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
	$pass_new  = stripslashes( $pass_new );
	$pass_new  = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
	$pass_new  = md5( $pass_new );

	$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];
	$pass_conf = stripslashes( $pass_conf );
	$pass_conf = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_conf ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
	$pass_conf = md5( $pass_conf );

	$pass_curr = $_POST[ 'password_current' ];
	$pass_curr = stripslashes( $pass_curr );
	$pass_curr = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  $pass_curr ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
	$pass_curr = md5( $pass_curr );

	// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
		$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
		$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
	);

	// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
	if( !$resp ) {
		// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
		$html .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
		$hide_form = false;
		return;
	}
	else {
		// Check that the current password is correct
		$data = $db->prepare( 'SELECT password FROM users WHERE user = (:user) AND password = (:password) LIMIT 1;' );
		$data->bindParam( ':user', dvwaCurrentUser(), PDO::PARAM_STR );
		$data->bindParam( ':password', $pass_curr, PDO::PARAM_STR );
		$data->execute();

		// Do both new password match and was the current password correct?
		if( ( $pass_new == $pass_conf) && ( $data->rowCount() == 1 ) ) {
			// Update the database
			$data = $db->prepare( 'UPDATE users SET password = (:password) WHERE user = (:user);' );
			$data->bindParam( ':password', $pass_new, PDO::PARAM_STR );
			$data->bindParam( ':user', dvwaCurrentUser(), PDO::PARAM_STR );
			$data->execute();

			// Feedback for the end user - success!
			$html .= "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
		}
		else {
			// Feedback for the end user - failed!
			$html .= "<pre>Either your current password is incorrect or the new passwords did not match.<br />Please try again.</pre>";
			$hide_form = false;
		}
	}
}

// Generate Anti-CSRF token
generateSessionToken();

?>

Impossible级别主要的改动在于,移除了High级别中多余的g-recaptcha-response参数判断,而只采用CAPTCHA本身的验证结果进行判断,并且要求输入原始密码。这样要绕过验证码就基本不可能了。

3. 验证码机制测试

话题再回到测试,如本文开头所说,验证码的主要作用就是防止所谓的"机器人" - 即计算机自动程序。

在验证码机制推行起来之前,许多知名网站都经受过“机器人”注册的攻击。由于“机器人”可能在短时间内大量调用系统功能,因此经常导致服务器宕机以及垃圾数据。

我们之前提到过的字典式破解等攻击方式,也可以通过验证码进行防御。

不过现在随着人工智能的发展,验证码的破解,图形解析的技术门槛越来越低,图形类验证码的破解已经不是很难的事情了。

而且通过此文,我们也应该知道,现在各大系统的验证码一般通过接口调用实现,而一般来说验证码的处理逻辑则是独立的。而这个处理逻辑则是安全验证和测试的主要要点,如果逻辑设计不合理,验证码就会变成徒劳。如本文所示,其实我们完全没有去处理验证码破解的问题。

题外话

对于UI自动化而言,我们也会遇到验证码的问题。那么UI自动化中应该如何处理验证码呢。

要知道做为一种图灵测试机制,验证码防御的就是类似selenium这样的计算机自动化程序,即“机器人”。我们做UI自动化有没有必要去引入验证码破解机制予以破解?

个人认为,没有这个必要。

所以,如果UI自动化中遇到验证码怎么办?

其实很简单,与开发协商将测试环境调为测试模式,即关闭验证码功能即可。验证码功能可以单独予以测试。
