26 * File creation
27 * JDBC connectivity

29 == Java properties disclosure ==
30
31 The xsl:system-property() standard function can be called with non standard arguments, mapped to Java properties. In this example, the name of the Java properties is stored in a separate XML file ([[properties.xml>>attach:properties.xml]]). The XSLT code will, for each property, display its name and its value.

36 == Java environment disclosure ==
37
38 The checkEnvironment() extension function (documented [[here>>http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N10064||rel="__blank"]]) will display some information about the execution context (including available packages, paths, versions, ...).

42
43 == Java code execution ==
44
45 The attached code will display the current date using a newly created "java.util.Date" object. This should be enough to demonstrate Java code execution.

51 == OS command execution ==
52
53 Once Java code execution is possible, it is trivial to execute arbitrary OS commands using the java.lang.Runtime class. The attached PoC will not read the output of the executed command (because loops are hard in XSLT). But this is not a problem if a reverse-shell have already been started, isn't it ;-)

56 __Note__ : as arrays are not a native type in XSLT, we create one via split() before passing it as an argument to exec(String[] cmdarray).
