  1. ConScript Specifying and Enforcing Fine-Grained Security Policies for JavaScript in the Browser Leo Meyerovich Benjamin Livshits UC Berkeley Microsoft Research

  2. Web Programmability Platform openid.net yelp.com adsense.com Google maps 2

  3. Rich Internet Applications are Dynamic Yelp.com: main.js … jQuery.js … adSense.js … GoogleMaps.js … OpenID_API.js flexible runtime composition … but little control. 3

  4. Towards Safe Programmability for the Web Can’t trust other Mash-ups people’s code 4

  5. Goals and Contributions control loading • protect benign users • by giving control to hosting site and use of scripts • ConScript approach: aspects for security • 17 hand-written policies express many • correct policies are hard to write policies safely • proposed type system to catch common attacks • implemented 2 policy generators • built into IE 8 JavaScript interpreter browser support • runtime and space overheads under 1% (vs. 30-550%) • smaller trusted computing base (TCB) 5

  6. approach protect benign users by giving control to the hosting site : aspects for security 6

  7. ConScript • Approach – protect benign Web users – give control to the hosting site • How – Browser-supported aspects for security 7

  8. Contributions of ConScript A case for aspects • protect benign users by giving control to hosting site • ConScript approach: aspects for security in browser • built into IE 8 JavaScript interpreter Correctness • Policies are easy to get wrong checking • Type system to ensure policy correctness • 17 hand-written policies Expressiveness • Comprehensive catalog of policies from literature and practice • implemented 2 policy generators • Tested on real apps: Google Maps, Live Desktop, etc. Evaluation • runtime and space overheads under 1% (vs. 30-550%) • smaller trusted computing base (TCB) 8

  9. manifest of script URLs enforce public HTTP-only vs. private cookies resource no pop-ups blacklists Policies no URL limit eval redirection no foreign <noscript> links no hidden script whitelist frames 9

  11. eval is evil function () { window.eval = throw „Disallowed‟ }; heap stack document window x eval y heap bar function foo z object … eval div eval 11

  12. No postMessage : A Simple Policy? Wrapping: [[Caja, DoCoMo, AOJS, lightweightjs , Web Sandbox, …]] window.postMessage = function () {}; frame1.postMessage(“ msg ”, “evil.com”) Aspects: [[AspectJ]] void around (String msg, String uri) : call DOM.postMessage (String m, String u) { /* do nothing instead of call */ } … no classes in JavaScript / DOM … 12

  13. Specifying Calls using References postMessage [Object window] function () { function () { [native code] throw ‘ exn ’; [Object } } frame] postMessage around(window.postMessage, function () { throw „ exn ‟; }); 13

  14. ConScript Interface 1. Functions DOM: a r o u n d E x t ( p o s t M e s s a g e, f u n c t i o n ( p m 2 , m , u r i ) { … } ) ; JS: a r o u n d N a t ( e v a l , f u n c t i o n ( e v a l , s t r ) { … } ) ; User-defined: a r o u n d F n c ( f o o , f u n c t i o n ( f o o 2 , a r g 1 ) { … } ) ; 2. Script introduction <script>: aroundScr(function (src) { return src + „;‟ + pol;}); inline: aroundInl(function (src) { return src + „;‟ + pol;}); 14

  16. Problem: Implementation? Source Rewriting [[aojs, docomo, caja, sandbox, fbjs]] function f () { … } function f () {<before> … <after>}  50%-450% more to transfer, 30-70% slowdown  limited: native (DOM) functions, dynamic code?  big assumptions: adds parser to TCB, … 16

  17. Mediating DOM Functions window.postMessage IE8 libraries (HTML, Networking, …) JavaScript interpreter postMessage advice dispatch 0xff34e5 0xff34e5 arguments: “hello”, “evil.com” call advice off 0xff34e5 aroundExt(window.postMessage, ); [not found] off frame2.postMessage 17

  18. Resuming Calls function foo () { } function foo () { } advice off advice on } else throw ‘ ’; } function advice1 (foo2) { function advice2 (foo2) { if (ok()) { if (ok()) { bless(); foo2(); foo2(); } else throw ‘ exn ’; } } else throw ‘ exn ’; } throw ‘ ’; }} bless() temporarily disables advice for next call 18

  19. Optimizing the Critical Path function foo () { } function foo () { } advice on advice off advice on function advice3 (foo2) { function advice2 (foo2) { if (ok()) foo2(); if (ok()) { else { bless(); curse(); foo2(); throw ‘ exn ’; } } } else throw ‘ exn ’; } • calling advice turns advice off for next call • curse() enables advice for next call 19

  21. Basic Usage script whitelist Yelp.com : main.js, index.html no eval … jQuery.js SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING no innerHTML … adSense.js no hidden frames Policies are written in a small JavaScript subset. … GoogleMaps.js no inline scripts Applications only lose a few dangerous features. … OpenID_API.js only HTTP cookies <script src =“ main.js ” policy=“ noEval ()”/> 21

  22. Policy Integrity Objects defined with policy constructors do not flow out Old Policy around(postMessage, function (m, url) { w = {“ msn.com ”: true}; … 22

  23. Policy Integrity Objects defined with policy constructors do not flow out Old Policy around(postMessage, function (m, url) { w = {“ msn.com ”: true}; … policy object: must protect unknown: do not pass privileged objects! 23

  24. Policy Integrity Objects defined with policy constructors do not flow out Old Policy around(postMessage, function (m, url) { w = {“ msn.com ”: true}; … User Exploit postMessage (“”, “ msn.com ”); w [“evil.com”] = 1; postMessage (“”, “ evil.com ”); 24

  25. Policy Integrity Objects defined with policy constructors do not flow out New Policy around(postMessage, function (m, url) { window.w = {“ msn.com ”: true}; var w … User Exploit postMessage (“”, “ msn.com ”); w[“evil.com”] = 1; postMessage (“”, “ evil.com ”); 25

  26. Policy Integrity Objects defined with policy constructors do not flow out New Policy around(postMessage, function (m, url) { window.w = {“ msn.com ”: true}; var w … policy object: must protect unknown: do not pass privileged objects! 26

  27. Maintaining Integrity 1. Policy objects do not leak out of policies 2. Access path integrity of calls (no prototype hijacking) • ML-style type inference –  basic –  program unmodified –  only manually tested on policies • JavaScript interpreter support – call(ctx, fnc , arg1, …), hasOwnProperty(obj , “ fld ”) – caller 27

  28. Transparency • If running with policies throws no errors – … for same input, running without should be safe – empty advice should not be functionally detectable • Difficult with wrapping or rewriting – Function.prototype.apply, exn.stacktrace, myFunction.callee, arguments.caller, myFunction.toString, Function.prototype.call – correctness vs. compatibility vs. performance … • Simpler at interpreter level – rest up to developer – no proof 28

  30. Automatically Generating Policies • Intrusion detection – can we infer and disable unneeded DOM functions? • C# access modifiers – can we enforce access modifiers like private ? • ASP policies – can we guarantee no scripts get run in <% echo %>? 30

  31. Intrusion Detection 1: Learn Blacklist log eval new Function(“string”) postMessage XDomainRequest audit xmlHttpRequest … 31

  32. Intrusion Detection 2: Enforce Blacklist 32

  33. Enforcing C# Access Modifiers function File () { … } class File { File.construct = … public File () { … } Script# compiler File.open = … private open () { … } … … C# JavaScript around(File, pubEntryPoint); around(File.construct, pubEntryPoint); around(File.open, privCall); ConScript 33
