Contenido del Lab

La aplicacion

Taskly es una aplicacion de gestion de tareas con categorias, prioridades, estados y feed publico de tareas.

La vulnerabilidad

El endpoint POST /api/auth/register lee req.body.role directamente sin filtrar. Si el campo no esta presente, usa 'user' por defecto, pero si el atacante lo incluye como 'admin', se crea la cuenta con privilegios de administrador.

Cadena de ataque

1. Registrarse normalmente → role: user
2. Observar la respuesta JSON (incluye role)
3. Repetir registro con role: admin en el body
4. Login → Acceso total al panel admin
5. Gestionar usuarios y tareas de todos

Solucion interactiva

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


Remediacion

  1. Nunca leer campos sensibles directamente del body del usuario
  2. Usar un whitelist de campos permitidos en el registro
  3. Hardcodear role: 'user' en el servidor
  4. Implementar DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) para filtrar campos de entrada

BBLabs is the bug bounty labs platform where you learn bug bounty with real vulnerabilities extracted from paid reports on HackerOne, Bugcrowd and Intigriti.

BBLabs is the alternative to HackTheBox, TryHackMe and PentesterLab for those who want to practice bug bounty with real reports instead of artificial CTFs. From €7.99/mo, no commitment.
