Injection techniques for evasion
Injection techniques alter HTTP request parameters or data payloads, thereby influencing how the API processes input. Parameter pollution can involve adding or tampering with query parameters to bypass security checks or cause unexpected behavior, while null byte injection exploits applications that mishandle null bytes, potentially allowing attackers to obscure or alter string-based data processing. Both methods aim to confuse or evade normal input validation, creating a pathway for unauthorized access, data manipulation, or further injection attacks. Next, we take a deeper look into these techniques.
Parameter pollution
Parameter pollution occurs when an attacker manipulates the parameters of an API request with the intent to confuse the system, evade security measures, or exploit vulnerabilities. This technique introduces ambiguity into the processing of parameters, making it more challenging for defenders to accurately interpret and validate...
