Detection logic

Scope: inbound message.

Message contains use of the whitefox.pl open redirect. This has been exploited in the wild.

  1. inbound message
  2. any of body.links where all hold:
    • .href_url.domain.domain is 'demo.whitefox.pl'
    • .href_url.path contains '/Home/SetCulture'
    • .href_url.query_params contains 'cultureName='
    • .href_url.query_params contains 'returnUrl='
    • not:
      • .href_url.query_params matches 'returnUrl=(?:https?(?:%3a|:))?(?:%2f|\\/){2}[^&]*whitefox\\.pl(?:\\&|\\/|$|%2f)'
  3. not:
    • sender.email.domain.root_domain is 'whitefox.pl'
  4. any of:
    • all of:
      • sender.email.domain.root_domain in $high_trust_sender_root_domains
      • not:
        • headers.auth_summary.dmarc.pass
    • sender.email.domain.root_domain not in $high_trust_sender_root_domains

Inspects: body.links, body.links[].href_url.domain.domain, body.links[].href_url.path, body.links[].href_url.query_params, headers.auth_summary.dmarc.pass, sender.email.domain.root_domain, type.inbound. Sensors: regex.icontains, strings.icontains. Reference lists: $high_trust_sender_root_domains.
