HDIV parameter does not exist

[saranyaz]

Hi
I am trying to integrate HDIV with my web application using HDIV struts 1.jar

I encounter the below error when trying to load the login page.

(self-tuning)'][][](org.hdiv.logs.Logger) - HDIV_PARAMETER_DOES_NOT_EXIST;/abc/def/index.do;_HDIV_STATE_;;;127.0.0.1;127.0.0.1;anonymous;

Possible checks I did:
1.tried with addition of struts--el tag lib with HDIV--el tag lib
2.tried with filter mapping pattern to all url

Not sure where I am going wrong. Many searches do not provide me a proper solution. Any guidance is highly appreciated. Thank you

Attached the config files

pom.txt
web.txt
hdiv-config.txt

Hi,
your hdiv-config.xml file is not correctly formatted. You can't have more tan one <hdiv:config>element in the same file.

Please have a look at this example application and configuration file:

• https://github.com/hdiv/hdiv-struts-examples
• https://github.com/hdiv/hdiv-struts-examples/blob/master/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/hdiv-config.xml

Hi

I updated my config file now. I encounter the same error still.. Can kindly help to say where I am going wrong ?

hdiv-config.txt

update:
after adding the startpages as /abc/index.do, I can load my application page. But for each ".do" page I am getting similar error as mentioned above, which leads to HDIV unauthorized error page.

Ok, we need some clarifications on this. You should set as StartPage every single page that can be accessed directly, usually / but there may be others. For the rest of them
you should be navigating using the links provided by the application. In those links if Hdiv integration is correct you should be seeing something like this:

/efm/whatever.do?HDIV_STATE=1-3-AABBCC..

I guess that your current problem is that no link is being generated with that parameter right?. If not please could you explain your situation?

[saranyaz]

Thanks for the response.
/efm/whatever.do?HDIV_STATE=1-3-AABBCC..
=> I don't see anything like this in my console and also in my logs.
all I see is as below with no random ID as you mentioned above.

HDIV_PARAMETER_DOES_NOT_EXIST;/abc/def/.do;HDIV_STATE;;;127.0.0.1;127.0.0.1;anonymous;>

My application's each menu link or buttons is initiated by a .do. so how do I config this ? looks like I need to all do. as start page which is not the correct way to implement. right ?
My application using struts 1.2.9.

The tld files are taken from the hdiv-master\hdiv-struts-1\target\classes\META-INF\ and I replaced it in my application tld file location /WEB-INF/tld/ and mapped it correctly in the web.xml file.

[gillarramendi]

Hi,
you should see this kind of url in the HTML of your application: /efm/whatever.do?HDIV_STATE=1-3-AABBCC..
If Hdiv is configured correctly all links and forms contain an HDIV_STATE parameter in links and an extra hidden field in forms.
An important aspect to take into consideration is that you have to create the links and form using Struts tags.
Por example, <html:link> for links and <html:form> for forms.
This is the way Hdiv adds the HDIV_STATE parameter automatically.

Are you creating the links and forms using these tags?

[saranyaz]

Thanks for your reply

Yes, all the forms are using html:form struts tag. But still the HDIV parameter token is not generated. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I am still figuring it out !

[gillarramendi]

Ok, the forms are created using Struts tags, and what about the links? Are they created using <html:link>tags?

[saranyaz]

My application do not have html:links tags. All of the actions are triggered by context path .do file.

Struts token are inserted automatically as a hidden field in all JSP if I use saveToken() whereas I face issue with the token to be inserted with HDIV. jar

[gillarramendi]

Ok, if you are interested in link protection you have to use <html:link> tag. Otherwise you will get HDIV_PARAMETER_DOES_NOT_EXIST error.

If you are not interested in link protection you have to exclude GET request protection.
Add this line inside <hdiv:config> tag in the hdiv-config.xml file:

<hdiv:startPages method="get">/.*</hdiv:startPages>

Including this config you will skip the protection of all requests that use method GET.
POST request protection is still enabled with this configuration.

Another important question, which Hdiv version are you using?
We recommend to use last stable version 3.3.0, which is compatible with Struts 1.3.8

[saranyaz]

ok, after I change the start pages as suggested above. I get the below error

org.hdiv.filter.ResponseWrapper) - New ResponseWrapper instance. [DEBUG][2017-07-19 10:46:00,630][][[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'][][](org.hdiv.session.SessionHDIV) - Getting page with id:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000018 [DEBUG][2017-07-19 10:46:00,630][][[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'][][](org.hdiv.filter.ValidatorHelperRequest) - Validation Error Detected: Parameter [org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN] does not exist in the state for action [/def/home.do] [INFO ][2017-07-19 10:46:00,630][][[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'][][](org.hdiv.logs.Logger) - INVALID_PARAMETER_NAME;/abc/def/home.do;org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN;;;192.168.91.1;192.168.91.1;anonymous;

I use the version 3.3.2.

ok. to use the 3.3.0 I download the codes for hdiv-config and hdiv-struts-1 from this link and compile it as a jar file https://github.com/hdiv/hdiv. is this the correct link ?

update:

after I include the below in hdiv config file

<hdiv:startParameters>org.apache.struts.action.TOKEN,org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN</hdiv:startParam

I get the same error as before

I can load my login page, I choose the role to login and click submit, I get the error as above.. (post action)

Hi,
Hdiv 3.3.0 jars are publicly available at the central Maven repository.
You can download them from this web too: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.hdiv%7Chdiv-core%7C3.3.0%7Cjar

It seems Hdiv Taglibs are not executing and the application is invoking Struts original tags instead.

You can check it adding a breakpoint at this method:

org.hdiv.taglib.html.FormTagHDIV.addHDIVParameter()

If should stop every time a form is rendered. If it is not invoked, the Tld is not correctly configured.

To check if the Hdiv taglib installation is correct, review this points:

• Web.xml file. It must contain a reference to the new tld files.
  For example:
  https://github.com/hdiv/hdiv-struts-examples/blob/master/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml#L122

• Jsp pages. The <taglib-uri> attribute in the web.xml file and the taglib url must be the same:
  https://github.com/hdiv/hdiv-struts-examples/blob/master/src/main/webapp/attacks/SQLInjection/SQLStringInjection.jsp#L3

• Force JSP recompilation, to be sure they are compiled using the new Tld.
