hunt-dom
Hunt client-side DOM vulnerabilities — DOM Clobbering (overwrite JS globals via HTML injection), PostMessage hijacking (missing origin check), Service Worker abuse (intercept requests from same-origin script), CSS Injection/Exfiltration (attribute selectors → token char-by-char via OOB), client-side template injection, dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Grounded in named public research: Gareth Heyes / PortSwigger DOM-clobbering + DOM-Invader, Michał Bentkowski DOMPurify clobbering bypasses, jQuery htmlPrefilter XSS (CVE-2020-11022 / CVE-2020-11023), d0nut CSS-exfil research. Use when hunting DOM-XSS, client-side auth bypass, or token exfiltration without server-side interaction.

# HUNT-DOM — DOM Clobbering / PostMessage / Service Worker / CSS Exfil
## Crown Jewel Targets
DOM-based attacks execute in the victim's browser — the server often never sees the payload, so WAFs and server-side input filters do not apply. PostMessage missing-origin-check = cross-origin token theft with no XSS needed.
**Highest-value chains:**
- **DOM Clobbering → DOM-XSS / auth bypass** — HTML *markup* injection (no `<script>`) overwrites a JS global like `window.config` or shadows `document.getElementById`, and the app later treats that value as a URL/code → sink fires under a markup-only injection where script is filtered.
- **PostMessage no origin check → session theft / DOM-XSS** — a `message` handler that trusts `event.data` without validating `event.origin` lets an attacker iframe/opener drive privileged actions or feed a sink.
- **Service Worker abuse** — register a **same-origin** SW script (reachable because of an upload / open-redirect / path the target serves) via stored XSS → intercept all in-scope `fetch` → persistent credential capture.
- **CSS Exfil** — attribute-value selectors (`input[value^="a"]`) leak a CSRF token / API key / nonce char-by-char to an OOB host with zero JS.
### Grounding — public research this is distilled from
- **DOM Clobbering / DOM-Invader** — Gareth Heyes & the PortSwigger Web Security Academy "DOM clobbering" topic; DOM-Invader ships a dedicated clobbering scanner. Sink taxonomy maps to the academy's DOM-based vulnerability labs.
