In this walkthrough, we exploit Web Cache Poisoning via Ambiguous Requests. This vulnerability occurs when inconsistencies between the cache and the back-end server allow malicious input to be stored and served to users.
You’ll learn how to:
Craft ambiguous HTTP requests
Exploit discrepancies between caching behavior and server interpretation
Inject JavaScript to trigger alert(document.cookie) in a victim’s browser
📌 Lab Objective: Poison the cache so that a victim visiting the home page triggers a JavaScript alert with their cookie.
🧠 Skill Level: Advanced
💡 Key Concepts: Cache keys, header manipulation, request normalization
⚠️ This is a real-world technique used in targeting shared cache environments. Practice responsibly and use only in authorized environments.
