==Description==
  
A Direct Static Code Injection attack consists of injecting code directly onto the resource used by application while processing a user request. This is normally performed by tampering libraries and template files which are created based on user input without proper data sanitization.
+
See [[Code Injection]]
Upon a user request to the modified resource, the actions defined in it will be executed at server side in the context of web server process.
 
 
 
[[Server-Side Includes (SSI) Injection | Server Side Includes]] is considered a type of direct static code injection. It should not be confused with other types of code injection, like [[Cross-site Scripting (XSS)| XSS]] (“Cross-site scripting” or “HTML injection”) where the code is executed on the client side.

==Examples==
 
 
 
===Example 1===
 
This is a simple example of exploitation of a CGISCRIPT.NET csSearch 2.3 vulnerability, published on Bugtraq ID: 4368.
 
By requesting the following URL to the server, it’s possible to execute commands defined on the ‘’’’setup’’’ variable.
 
<br>
 
csSearch.cgi?command=savesetup&setup=''PERL_CODE_HERE''
 
<br>
 
For the classic example, the following command can be used to remove all files from “/” folder:
 
csSearch.cgi?command=savesetup&setup=`rm%20-rf%20/`
 
 
 
Note that the above command must be encoded in order to be accepted.
 
 
 
===Example 2===
 
This example exploits a vulnerability on Ultimate PHP Board (UPB) 1.9 (CVE-2003-0395), which allows an attacker to execute random php code. This happens because some user variables, like IP address and User-Agent, are stored in a file that is used by the admin_iplog.php page to show user statistics. When an administrator browses this page, the previously injected code by a malicious request is executed.
 
The following example stores a malicious PHP code that will deface the index.html page when an administrator browses admin_iplog.php.
 
GET /board/index.php HTTP/1.0
 
User-Agent: <? system( "echo \'hacked\' > ../index.html" ); ?>
