Host Header Inchecktion

This burp extension helps to find host header injection vulnerabilities by actively testing a set of injection types. A scan issue is created if an injection was successful.

Features

  • Active Scanner
  • Manually select a request to check multiple types of host header injections.
  • Collaborator payload: Inject a collaborator string to check for server-side request forgery.
  • Localhost payload: Inject the string "localhost" to check for restricted feature bypass.
  • Canary payload (only manual): Inject a canary to check for host header reflection which can lead to cache poisoning.

Usage

Run an active scan or manually select a request to check:

  1. Go to the HTTP history.
  2. Right-click on the request you want to check.
  3. Extension -> Host Header Inchecktion -> payload type
  4. In case of a successful injection a scan issue is generated.

Installation

  1. Download the pre-built jar from the releases page.
  2. Extender -> Add -> Extension Details -> Select file ...
  3. Select the downloaded jar.
