Magecart - A Growing Threat to E-Commerce Sites

Simon Kenin, Ziv Mador at Global AppSec Tel Aviv 2019

In the last two years, we’ve observed a growing threat for e-commerce sites: Magecart. By using a cocktail of 0-days and known de-serialization bugs in the Magento platform and Magento extensions it managed to impact major web sites such as British Airways, TicketMaster and NewEgg as well many thousands online shops. Attackers compromised third-party servers that hosted JavaScript code that major websites “re-used”, leading the malicious code to run on client computers and skim data directly back to the bad guys. This talk will describe the techniques used by these cybercriminals, discuss the nature of vulnerabilities that allowed these attacks and present possible defense and detection measures.
