attributes.add_attributes(attributeList, prefix: str = "")

This operator is used to add attributes from another attribute list. It adds new values without modifying the existing ones.

attributes.set_attributes(attributeList, prefix: str = "")

This operator is used to set attributes from another attribute list. It modifies any existing values or creates them if they don’t exist.

attributes.get_one(key, , default: any = None, use_prefix: bool = False, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to fetch one value from the attribute.

attributes.get(key, : str, default: any = None, use_prefix: bool = False, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to fetch values from the attribute.

attributes.get_one_attr(key, , default: any = None, use_prefix: bool = False, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to fetch one attribute.

attributes.get_original(key, , default: any = None, use_prefix: bool = False, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to fetch the original value from the attribute.

attributes.items(self)

This operator is used to fetch the attribute list iterator.

attributes.add(key, : str, value: any, original_and_mutated: bool = False, is_dirty: bool = False, force: bool = False)

This operator is used to add attributes to the list. If original_and_mutated is True, both original and mutated keys are added; otherwise, only one copy without a prefix is added.

attributes.modify(key, : str, value: any, first_only: bool = False, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to update all attributes with the specified key. If first_only is True, only the first attribute is updated. If the key is not found, the instruction is ignored.

attributes.set(key, : str, value: any, original_and_mutated: bool = False, regex: bool = False, is_dirty: bool = False, force: bool = True)

This operator is used to set attributes to the list. If original_and_mutated is True, both original and mutated keys are modified or are created if they don’t exist; otherwise, only one copy without a prefix is modified or created.

attributes.expand_attributes(self, data, regex: bool = False, user_prefix: bool = False)

This operator is used to expand templated variables to fetch the attribute value.

attributes.expand(self, data, regex: bool = False, use_prefix: bool = False)

This operator is used to expand templated variables to fetch the attribute value. For example, if the input is mutated.${authorization_header} and the authorization_header is request.header.jwt, then the output is mutated.request.header.jwt.

attributes.delete(key, value, regex: bool = False)

This operator is used to delete attributes from the attribute list.

MUTATION_ADD

This operator adds a new key attribute with the specified value. If the key attribute already exists, it duplicates it.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_ADD", “mutated.http.query.param.id”, "100”)
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_ADD", “mutated.http.query.param.id”, "50”)
]

This adds two query params in the url resulting in ?id=100&id=50. This is typically used to test parameter pollution.

MUTATION_DELETE

This operator deletes an existing key attribute.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_DELETE", “mutated.http.query.param.id”, "”)
]

This removes the query param id from the API request.

MUTATION_MODIFY

This operator modifies a key attribute if it exists; otherwise, it does nothing.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_MODIFY", “mutated.http.query.param.id”, "100”)
]

This updates the query param id with value 100 if it exists; otherwise, it ignores the instruction.

MUTATION_SET

This operator sets the value of an existing key attribute or adds it if it does not exist.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_SET", “mutated.http.query.param.id”, "100”)
]

This sets the query param id to 100 if it already exists; otherwise, it creates a query param id with the same value.

MUTATION_REGEX_DELETE

This operator deletes all attributes that match the key/regular expression with value.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_REGEX_DELETE", r“mutated\.http\.query\.param.*amount”, "”)
]

This deletes all query params ending with the string “amount”.

MUTATION_REGEX_MODIFY

This operator modifies all attributes that match the key/regular expression with value.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_REGEX_MODIFY", r“mutated\.http\.query\.param.*amount”, "100”)
]

This modifies the query param ending with the string “amount” with value 100, if it exists; otherwise, it ignores the instruction.

MUTATION_REGEX_SET

This operator sets all attributes that match the key/regular expression with value.

Example:

test.mutaions = [
  Mutation.create("MUTATION_REGEX_SET", r“mutated\.http\.query\.param.*amount”, "100”)
]

This sets the query param ending with the string “amount” with a value of 100, if it exists; otherwise, it ignores the instruction.

LOGICAL_OPERATOR_AND

All assertion items in the assertion list need to be VULN(True) for the return value to be VULN(True).

LOGICAL_OPERATOR_OR

Any assertion item in the assertion list needs to be VULN(True) for the return value to be VULN(True).

MATCH_OPERATOR_EQUALS

This operator checks whether the mutated value matches the original value. If it does, the assertion evaluates to True/Vulnerable; otherwise, it evaluates to False/Not Vulnerable.

Assertion.create("http.response.code", “MATCH_OPERATOR_EQUALS”, "${mutated.http.response.code}", “${original.http.response.code}”)

This evaluates to True if the response code received from the mutated request matches the response code received from the original request.

MATCH_OPERATOR_NOT_EQUALS

This operator checks whether the mutated value does not match the original value. If it does not, the assertion evaluates to True/Vulnerable; otherwise, it evaluates to False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body.param1", “MATCH_OPERATOR_NOT_EQUALS”, "${mutated.http.response.body.param1}", “${original.http.response.body.param1}”)

This evaluates to True if param1 received in the body of the response received for the mutated request does not match param1 in the body of the response received from the original request.

MATCH_OPERATOR_MATCHES_REGEX

This operator checks whether the mutated value matches the regex. If it does, the assertion evaluates to True/Vulnerable; otherwise, it evaluates to False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.duration", “MATCH_OPERATOR_MATCHES_REGEX”, "${mutated.http.response.code}", r"^5\d\d")

This evaluates to True if the response code received for the mutated request matches the specified regular expression.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body.param1", "MATCH_OPERATOR_GREATER_THAN_EQUALS", "${mutated.http.response.body.param1}", "100")

This evaluates to True if param1 in the body of the response received for the mutated request has a value greater than or equal to 100.

MATCH_OPERATOR_LESS_THAN

This operator checks whether the mutated value is less than the original value. If it is, the assertion evaluates to True/Vulnerable; otherwise, it evaluates to False/Not Vulnerable.

This evaluates to True if param1 in the body of the response received for the mutated request has a value less than or equal to 100.

MATCH_OPERATOR_CONTAINS

This operator checks whether the mutated value contains the original value. If it does, the assertion evaluates to True/Vulnerable; otherwise, it evaluates to False/Not Vulnerable.
It also supports various python data structures, such as list, set, and string.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body.param1", "MATCH_OPERATOR_NOT_CONTAINS", "${mutated.http.response.body.param1}", "Unauthorized")

This evaluates to True if param1 in the body of the response received for the mutated request contains the key word “Unauthorized”.

MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_EQUALS

This operator works in two steps:

1. Lookup for all attributes matching the mutated regex and use them in step 2.

2. If all attributes matched in step 1, match the original value, return True/Vulnerable; otherwise, return False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body", "MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_EQUALS",  "mutated.http.response.body.*.carid", "15")

This evaluates to True if all parameters that match the specified regex in response to the mutated request contains the value 15.

MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_NOT_EQUALS

This operator works in two steps:

1. Lookup for all attributes matching the mutated regex and use them in step 2.

2. If all attributes matched in step 1, do not match the original value, return True/Vulnerable; otherwise, return False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body",  "MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_NOT_EQUALS",  "mutated.http.response.body.*.carid", "15")

This evaluates to True if all parameters that match the specified regex in response to the mutated request does not contain the value 15.

MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_MATCHES_REGEX

This operator works in two steps:

1. Lookup for all attributes matching the mutated regex and use them in step 2.

2. If all attributes matched in step 1, match the original regex, return True/Vulnerable; otherwise, return False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body",  "MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_MATCHES_REGEX",  "mutated.http.response.body.*.carid", "141[a-z0-9]{1,10}411")

This evaluates to True if all parameters that match the specified regex in response to the mutated request contains a value of that matches the regex ("141[a-z0-9]{1,10}411").

MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_NOT_MATCHES_REGEX

This operator works in two steps:

1. Lookup for all attributes matching the mutated regex and use them in step 2.

2. If all attributes matched in step 1, do not match the original regex, return True/Vulnerable; otherwise, return False/Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body",  "MATCH_OPERATOR_REGEXLOOKUP_NOT_MATCHES_REGEX",  "mutated.http.response.body.*.carid", "141[a-z0-9]{1,10}411")

This evaluates to True if all parameters that match the specified regex in response to the mutated request does not contain a value of that matches the regex ("141[a-z0-9]{1,10}411").

MATCH_OPERATOR_ALWAYS_TRUE

This operator always returns True/Vulnerable. It is mostly useful when you are writing plugins and want to test dummy assertions.

Example:

Assertion.create("test.true", "MATCH_OPERATOR_ALWAYS_TRUE", "xyz", "abc")

MATCH_OPERATOR_ALWAYS_FALSE

This operator always returns False/Not Vulnerable. It is mostly useful when you are writing plugins and want to test dummy assertions.

Example:

Assertion.create("test.false", "MATCH_OPERATOR_ALWAYS_FALSE", "xyz", "abc")

MATCH_OPERATOR_COLLABORATOR_LOOKUP_CONTAINS

This operator is used for SSRF-based scans, where if the application reaches out to Traceable collaborator, it looks out for the presence of test id in the payload received by the collaborator.

Example:

Assertion.create("http.response.body",  "MATCH_OPERATOR_COLLABORATOR_LOOKUP_CONTAINS", "${mutated.test.id}", "${mutated.test.id}")

This evaluates to True if the payload (from the application) received by the collaborator contains the test id.

MATCH_OPERATOR_RAW

This operator executes raw lambda code supplying it with mutated and original values. If lambda returns True, it is marked as Vulnerable, else Not Vulnerable.

Example:

Assertion.create("tls.protocol.ciphers", "MATCH_OPERATOR_RAW", "${mutated.tls.protocol.ciphers}", "RSA", data={ "code": 'lambda x,y: any([y in n for n in x.split(" ")])' })
