Learn to solve a multi-stage web challenge by chaining four bugs together to extract a secret from an isolated internal service.
Action Steps
- Identify the vulnerabilities in the provided source code by reviewing the docker-compose.yml file and mapping out the entire setup.
- Use user fuzzing to gather information and potentially discover an information leak.
- Exploit the information leak to obtain a password hash and then crack the password.
- Use the cracked password to login and then exploit a stored XSS vulnerability to steal an admin cookie.
- Utilize the stolen admin cookie to perform a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and gain access to the internal service.
- Once access is gained, use SQL injection to extract the secret flag.
Who Needs to Know This
This challenge is suitable for a cybersecurity team, particularly those interested in web application security and penetration testing. It requires a deep understanding of various vulnerabilities and how to exploit them.
Key Insight
💡 Chaining multiple vulnerabilities together can lead to a successful exploit, even if individual vulnerabilities are not severe on their own.
