Python script for finding XSS vulnerabilities with mechanize
$begingroup$
I am trying to make a python script that can find Cross-Site Script vulnerability on a web page.
First, it will fetch all the <input> tag from a <form> in a webpage.
Puts the input field's name in a list "inputFieldName".
At last, I have hardcoded the position of the payload.
import requests
import mechanize
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
request = requests.get("http://172.16.142.154/index.html")
parseHTML = BeautifulSoup(request.text, 'html.parser')
formName = parseHTML.form['name']
print("Form name: " + formName)
inputs = parseHTML.form.find_all('input')
inputFieldNames =
for items in inputs:
if items.has_attr('name'):
inputFieldNames.append(items['name'])
print (inputFieldNames)
#
formSubmit = mechanize.Browser()
formSubmit.open("http://172.16.142.154/index.html")
formSubmit.select_form(formName)
payload = '<script>alert("vulnerable")</script>'
formSubmit.form[inputFieldNames[0]] = payload
formSubmit.form[inputFieldNames[1]] = "akshansh@shs.com"
formSubmit.submit()
print(formSubmit.response().read())
finalResult = formSubmit.response().read()
if finalResult.find('<script>') >= 0:
print("Application is vulnerable")
else:
print("You are in good hands")
I have downloaded 3 packages: requests, bs4 and mechanize.
bs4 is working fine but mechanize is showing this error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'f' referenced before assignment
Mechanize package is used for navigating through web forms.
https://pypi.org/project/mechanize/
till print(inputFieldNames) its working fine
full traceback:
Form name: HeheForm
['name', 'email']
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'f' referenced before assignmentthe URL is a local machine with basic HTML and PHP code exactly like this
I tried simply running
formSubmit.open("http://172.16.142.154/index.html")
still shows same error. what should I do ?
