csrf-2

Enumeration

Reading app.py reveals its mechanics.

1. csrf-2 works the same as csrf-1 except for the missing memo page and the new login and change_password page.
2. /change_password only checks for the current session id and does not require the current password for the user.
3. /flag sets the user as admin before sending a request

Exploitation

As the vuln page filters for frame, script and on, I’ll be using the img tag once again.

Since csrf-2 does not have a memo page, we need to find a different attack vector.
Using the information gained from code analysis, I’ll send a payload that will reset the password for the user admin to pwn.

After the CSRF exploit, I’ll try to login as admin with the newly set password pwn.

Post Exploitation

After a successful exploitation, I’m able to view the flag.
