Contenido del Lab

La aplicacion

NoteVault es una aplicacion de notas personales con sistema de notas compartidas, feed publico y panel de administracion. Los usuarios pueden crear, editar y compartir notas.

La vulnerabilidad

El endpoint /api/changepassword esta protegido con authMiddleware y adminMiddleware para los metodos PUT y POST, pero el desarrollador olvido anadir los middlewares para el metodo PATCH. Esto permite a cualquier usuario autenticado cambiar la contrasena de cualquier otro usuario.

Cadena de ataque

1. Registrarse y explorar la app
2. Descubrir /api → lista de endpoints
3. Probar PUT /api/changepassword → 403
4. Probar PATCH /api/changepassword → Funciona sin admin!
5. Cambiar contrasena del admin
6. Login como admin → Panel administrativo
7. Flag en el dashboard

Solucion interactiva

Accede a /writeup dentro de la aplicacion para una guia paso a paso con botones interactivos.


Flag

5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

Remediacion

  1. Aplicar middlewares de autorizacion a TODOS los metodos HTTP del endpoint
  2. Usar router.all() o app.use() para aplicar middleware a nivel de ruta completa
  3. Implementar tests de autorizacion para cada metodo HTTP
  4. Auditar regularmente los middlewares de cada endpoint
