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

CachePoisonDetector (CPD)

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

Overview

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

Installation

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 supports multiple input methods and extensive configuration options.

1. Basic Scan (--url)

Scan a single target URL.

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

# As an installed package
cpd scan -u https://example.com

2. Pipeline Mode (Stdin)

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

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

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

3. File Input (--file)

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

cpd 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 scan --request-file request.txt

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

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

Output to File (--output)

Save the findings to a JSON file.

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

Concurrency (--concurrency)

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

cpd scan -f targets.txt --concurrency 100

Verbosity (--verbose, --quiet)

Control output levels.

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

5. Utilities

Validate Finding (validate)

Manually verify a vulnerability claim step-by-step.

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

Update Tool (update)

Check for and install the latest version of CPD.

cpd update

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.
• Advanced Poisoning:
  • Header Injection: X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Scheme, Fastly-Client-IP, etc.
  • Path Normalization: Exploits backend URL decoding differences (/foo\bar).
  • 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.
• Pipeline Ready: Designed to integrate into your reconnaissance workflow.
