Web Hacking Expert - Full-Stack Exploitation Mastery - AngularJS: Template Injection and $scope Hacking – Part 2

The video tutorial explains AngularJS template injection and scope hacking. It demonstrates how attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to access sensitive data, such as anti-CSRF tokens, using the load comments function. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on using developer tools to inspect the scope and execute a proof of concept attack, highlighting the limitations and potential of scope hacking in AngularJS.

What indicates the presence of template injection in AngularJS?

• The page crashes when an expression is entered.

• The browser displays an error message.

• Expressions within double curly brackets are evaluated.

• The page reloads automatically.

What is the main limitation of scope hacking compared to cross-site scripting?

• It requires physical access to the server.

• It is restricted by the scope of available functions and variables.

• It can only be performed on local servers.

• It is limited by the same origin policy.

In the context of AngularJS, what does the term 'scope' refer to?

• The entire web application.

• The set of functions and variables accessible at a specific point.

• The server-side code.

• The database schema.

Which function was identified as exploitable for stealing the anti-CSRF token?

• loadComments

• getToken

• fetchData

• sendRequest

How can an attacker send the anti-CSRF token to their domain using the loadComments function?

• By using a different browser.

• By modifying the server configuration.

• By changing the API base URL to the attacker's domain.

• By injecting a script directly into the server.

What is the purpose of the API base URL in the loadComments function?

• To encrypt the data being sent.

• To set the domain for sending requests.

• To define the endpoint for fetching comments.

• To specify the server's IP address.

What is the significance of the 'scope' in AngularJS template injection?

• It defines the layout of the web page.

• It controls the user's session duration.

• It limits the attacker's access to functions and variables.

• It determines the server's response time.

What is the first step in identifying a potential AngularJS template injection vulnerability?

• Checking the server logs.

• Evaluating expressions within double curly brackets.

• Inspecting the network traffic.

• Analyzing the database queries.

Why is it important to understand the scope when performing template injection attacks?

• To ensure the server remains operational.

• To identify which functions and variables can be exploited.

• To enhance the user interface design.

• To improve the website's performance.

What was the final outcome of the demonstrated attack in the video?

• The user's session was terminated.

• The web application was updated.

• The anti-CSRF token was successfully sent to the attacker's domain.

• The server was shut down.
