Supertest Security

It's a library that allows us to test api endpoints by fuzzing them with malicious payloads that you can choose. It bases on supertest package.

Installation

npm i -D supertest-security

Attack payloads

Current payloads that library is using:

• SQL_INJECTION
• NOSQL_INJECTION
• XSS
• GRAPHQL_INJECTION
• PATH_TRAVERSAL
• UNIX_COMMAND_INJECTION
• WINDOWS_COMMAND_INJECTION

How to test body fields

For example we want to test:

• firstName field for XSS and SQLi
• lastName field for XSS
• siblings.children for unix command injection

const { SupertestSecurity, dataPreparation, attacks } = require('supertest-security');

const { SQL_INJECTION, XSS, UNIX_COMMAND_INJECTION } = attacks;

const config = {
  endpoint: '/api/endpoint',
  method: 'post',
  // possibility to add custom headers
  headers: { authorization: 'Bearer authString' },
};

const supertest = new SupertestSecurity(app, config);

// we need to provide a valid data
const bodyFields = {
  firstName: 'John',
  lastName: 'Doe',
  siblings: {
    children: ['Chris', 'Alex'],
  },
};

const template = {
  name: SQL_INJECTION,
  firstName: [SQL_INJECTION, XSS],
  lastName: XSS,
  siblings: {
    children: UNIX_COMMAND_INJECTION,
  },
};

// creating tests
const tests = dataPreparation(bodyFields, template);

supertest.testBodyFields(tests, (results) => {
  // your custom checks for results
});

How to test query parameters

For example we want to test:

• page param for XSS and SQLi
• search param for XSS

const { SupertestSecurity, dataPreparation, attacks } = require('supertest-security');

const { SQL_INJECTION, XSS } = attacks;

const config = {
  endpoint: '/api/endpoint',
  method: 'get',
  // possibility to add custom headers
  headers: { authorization: 'Bearer authString' },
};

const supertest = new SupertestSecurity(app, config);

// we need to provide a valid data
const queryParams = {
  page: 0,
  search: '',
};

const template = {
  page: [SQL_INJECTION, XSS],
  search: XSS,
};

// creating tests
const tests = dataPreparation(queryParams, template);

supertest.testQueryParams(tests, (results) => {
  // your custom checks for results
});

How to test with custom payloads

const { SupertestSecurity, dataPreparation, attacks } = require('supertest-security');

const { XSS } = attacks;

const CUSTOM_XSS = 'CUSTOM_XSS';

const customPayloads = {
  [CUSTOM_XSS]: ['fast', 'and', 'malicious'],
};

const config = {
  endpoint: '/api/endpoint',
  method: 'get',
  // possibility to add custom headers
  headers: { authorization: 'Bearer authString' },
};

const supertest = new SupertestSecurity(app, config);

// we need to provide a valid data
const queryParams = {
  page: 0,
  search: '',
};

const template = {
  page: [XSS, CUSTOM_XSS],
  search: CUSTOM_XSS,
};

// creating tests
const tests = dataPreparation(queryParams, template, customPayloads);

supertest.testQueryParams(tests, (results) => {
  // your custom checks for results
});

There's one rule: your custom payloads name shouldn't be same as attacks of supertest-security! Our suggestion is to add CUSTOM_ to your payloads name.
