QRLJacking or Quick Response Code Login Jacking is a simple social engineering attack vector capable of session hijacking affecting all applications that rely on the ?Login with QR code? feature as a secure way to login into accounts. In a nutshell, the victim scans the attacker?s QR code which results in session hijacking.
The QRLJacking attack consists of two sides:
Upload “qrHandler.php” to your server. This php file is used to convert the base64 QR Code string into a valid .JPG file.
Now you have a valid, generated, QR image named “tmp.jpg” residing in the same root folder as your files which will be updated whenever that php file is called, so we can put it anywhere. For example: a fake WhatsApp page, a scam page with an offer related to WhatsApp, etc. Depending on your creativity.
Now update the “phishing.html” file with your prefered phishing page source code.
Manually:
Once the QR Code is scanned, the victim's session is yours.
Automatically:
