cpd-sec 0.10.0

A high-concurrency CLI tool for detecting web cache poisoning vulnerabilities.

CachePoisonDetector (CPD-SEC)

A high-concurrency CLI tool for detecting web cache poisoning vulnerabilities.

Overview

CPD-SEC is a security tool designed to identify vulnerabilities in web caching systems that allow cache poisoning attacks.

Installation

Using Pip (Recommended)

You can install CPD-SEC directly from PyPI:

pip install cpd-sec

From Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kankburhan/cpd.git
   cd cpd
   

2. Install dependencies using Poetry:

   poetry install
   

   Alternatively, calculate dependencies to requirements.txt and use pip:

   pip install .
   

Usage

CPD-SEC supports multiple input methods and extensive configuration options.

1. Basic Scan (--url)

Scan a single target URL.

# Installed via pip
cpd-sec scan --url https://example.com

# Using poetry
poetry run cpd-sec scan --url https://example.com

2. Pipeline Mode (Stdin)

Pipe URLs from other tools (like waybackurls, gau, subfinder, or cat) directly into CPD-SEC. This is ideal for mass scanning.

# Scan URLs found by waybackurls
waybackurls target.com | cpd-sec scan

# Scan URLs from a file using cat
cat urls.txt | cpd-sec scan --concurrency 20

3. File Input (--file)

Read URLs from a text file (one URL per line).

cpd-sec scan --file urls.txt

4. Raw Request Scan (--request-file)

Scan using a raw HTTP request definition (e.g., copied from Burp Suite).

# Save your request to a file (e.g. request.txt)
cpd-sec scan --request-file request.txt

Alternative: Direct String (--raw) Use with caution due to shell escaping characters.

cpd-sec scan --raw "GET /api/foo HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com"

5. Advanced Options

Custom Headers (--header)

Add custom headers to every request (e.g., cookies, authorization). You can use this flag multiple times.

cpd-sec scan -u https://admin.example.com \
    -h "Cookie: session=12345" \
    -h "Authorization: Bearer XYZ"

Output to File (--output)

Save the findings to a JSON or HTML file.

JSON Output:

cpd-sec scan -u https://example.com --output results.json

HTML Report (NEW!): Generate a professional HTML security report with PoC details:

cpd-sec scan -u https://example.com --output report.html

Auto-Open Report (--open): Automatically open the HTML report in your browser:

cpd-sec scan -u https://example.com --output report.html --open

HTML reports include:

• 🔬 Evidence section with cache headers and variant URLs
• 🎯 Proof-of-Concept URLs ready for manual verification
• 📋 Copy-paste curl commands with malicious headers
• ⚠️ Reflected content sections showing where payloads appear

Concurrency (--concurrency)

Control the number of simultaneous requests (default: 50).

cpd-sec scan -f targets.txt --concurrency 100

Verbosity (--verbose, --quiet)

Control output levels.

cpd-sec scan -u https://example.com -v  # Debug logging
cpd-sec scan -u https://example.com -q  # Only show findings

5. Utilities

Validate Finding (validate)

Manually verify a vulnerability claim step-by-step.

cpd-sec validate --url https://target.com --header "X-Forwarded-Host: evil.com"

Update Tool (update)

Check for and install the latest version of CPD-SEC.

Features

• Auto Update Check: Automatically checks for new versions on run.
• High Concurrency: Built with asyncio and aiohttp for speed.
• Smart Baseline: Establishes a stable baseline to reduce false positives.
• HTML Security Reports: Professional reports with PoC URLs, curl commands, and evidence details.
• Advanced Poisoning Detection:
  • Header Injection: X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Scheme, Fastly-Client-IP, etc.
  • Path Normalization: Exploits backend URL decoding differences (/foo\bar).
  • Query Parameter Normalization: Detects case-insensitive query param cache keys.
  • Fat GET: Sends request bodies with GET requests.
  • Unkeyed Query Params: Injects parameters to test cache key inclusion.
  • Method Override: Tests X-HTTP-Method-Override.
  • Cache Key Confusion: Tests URL encoding variants and cache key calculation.
  • Next.js Cache Poisoning (CVE-2026): Dedicated detection module for 9 Next.js CVEs:
    • CVE-2026-44572: x-nextjs-data redirect cache poisoning
    • CVE-2026-44576: RSC/HTML cache confusion
    • CVE-2026-44582: Weak _rsc cache-busting hash collision
    • CVE-2026-44575: App Router middleware bypass via .rsc suffix
    • CVE-2026-44573: Pages Router i18n data-route bypass
    • CVE-2026-44574: nxtP/nxtI parameter injection
    • CVE-2026-44579: next-resume header injection (cache poisoning + CPDoS)
    • CVE-2026-44581: CSP nonce reflection via cache
    • CVE-2026-23870: Server-action stream DoS
• Pipeline Ready: Designed to integrate into your reconnaissance workflow.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to improve CPD-SEC, especially for new poisoning signatures and false positive reductions.

Reporting False Positives

If you encounter a false positive (a reported vulnerability that is benign), please open an Issue with:

1. Replication Output: The output of the validate command:

   cpd-sec validate --url <TARGET_URL> --header "KEY: VALUE"
   

2. Context: Why you believe it is benign (e.g., "The server normalizes the path but returns the same content").
