[arjun-akto]

💭 Introduction:

We want a test to check whether an attacker can create/update entity with Host Header Manipulation

🎯 Requirements:

1. Filters - API with GET query parameter or JSON body parameter

2. Execute - It should add or replace a value with

• host = localhost in HTTP headers if Host header exists, or add new value
• host = 127.0.0.1 in HTTP headers if Host header exists, or add new value
• X-Forwarded-For: evil-website.com
• X-Forwarded-Host: evil-website.com
• X-Client-IP: evil-website.com
• X-Remote-IP: evil-website.com
• X-Remote-Addr: evil-website.com
• X-Host: evil-website.com

3. Validation - If the application responds with a exception trace or error response strings, it is a vulnerability.
