Re: Tightening security on my webserver (Apache Users)

Hi Frank

Yes, and I can do this, but I'm really surprised that this extra content is even being reflected back to the web user. My assumption was if I ignore anything beyond my "appwaz.php" it will be ignored by the web server.... so why is this text being reflected back as part of the response??? Is it something I'm doing in my php script? (I don't think so).

Cheers

Murray

Since you're using appwaz.php to serve your content and parsing the pathinfo, it falls back on your php application to discard values that are malicious or incorrect.

To be clear, is sobs.com.au your domain name?

Hi folks

First time poster. I recently became aware that hackers were able to include scripts in my URLs that would run (when reflected back to the client web browser).

Is there a simple configuration in Apache that allows me to apply strict rules to the URLs that would stop this happening?

Alternatively, is there something I have opened / allowed that enables this?

For example: https://sobs.com.au/ui/appwaz.php/jiwzk%22onload%3d%22alert(1)%22tyysj

Hope you can help.

Cheers
Murray
