Python Jail Escape

2 solutions for this case (Can solve most cases)

  1. Abuse help() -> os -> more/less interface -> !cat /flag*
  2. Abuse python debugger

Enum

Player was restricted in a square area surrounded by 4 walls

Player can only jump this high in game

Method 1 - Cheat Engine : Changing coordinates

Watch this YT viedeo by Guided Hacking for more details

In order to scan efficiently, bind hotkeys to scan for Unchaged Value, Increased Value and Decreased Value (I bound with 3 keys on mouse)

Method 1 - Find X and Y by Z

Find Z by jumping and scan for increased and decreased value

We can find all X, Y, Z by looking at memory region

Video Demo (Typed wrong description for the found address, it’s Z not Y):

  • We found the Z value for camera position
  • Change all changed value while jumping to find the right Z address that points to position of player object
  • After finding the right Z address, Y and Z should be near it

Method 2 - Find the address that holds X or Y value

This method may fail sometimes, use jump method when it’s possible

Video demo, found X or Y then teleport out

Method 2 - Modify source code

Fortunately this game was made by Unity, which can be easily found out from the present of Assembly-CSharp.dll

\My project_Data\Managed

Use DNSpy to tamper player class

The controller have many interesting properties such as AirAccelerationSpeed, AllowWallJump, AllowDoubleJump, Gravity, JumpSpeed

After some attempts, found JumpSpeed worked well

Change AirAccelerationSpeed and MaxAirMoveSpeed to move faster in the air

JumpSpeed’s default value was 10f, let’s change it to 10X

Save it

Now I can jump out of restricted area and see the flag

SQLITE SQLI (Boolean based Blind)

The first thing I test was IDOR

Index 11 exists but not shown in the page; index 12 doesn’t exist

By testing 11 or 1=1, I know there’s SQLI

The backend was using websocket for real time data fetching

After some testing, I specified the row at id=11 to dump since blind SQLI is very slow

Since the site doesn’t allow “security downgrade”, must use the scheme wss:// instead of ws:// for secure socket connection

By using GraphQL playground, I can easily browse through the schema

It provides some queries (Searching) and Mutations (Function to update data)

  • Unfortunately I didn’t find any broken access control to tamper money
  • Haven’t tried SQLI (GraphQLmap)

We can’t specify the money in user mutation, since Userinput doesn’t allow it

Using GraphQL Playground

GraphQL format for query :

6
query {
   function_name(arg1: value, arg2: value){
       column1 # The values we want to output from TYPE DETAILS
       column2 
   }
}

GraphQL format for mutation:

1

3
4
5
6
mutation your_function_name{
    function_name(arg1: value, arg2: value){
	   column1 # The values we want to output from TYPE DETAILS
	   column2 
    }
}

The hello function returns my browser user agent

Can’t query users

Can’t query other users’ info

Can get more info about current user (role)

We can only see our own transactions

Since new users have 0 bugs, we need to find a way to gain money

By registering another user in another browser session, we can get another UUID

By sending -10000 to the new user, we get 10000bugs

That was because the backend did something like this

Now we can upgrade premium to get the flag

PHP have PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT with default value of 1000000 to prevent DOS via regex

Exhaust the regex limit, then preg_match() will return false

order is the only dynamic function

https://pizzatime.ctf.intigriti.io/order

We can input any customer name

1
sudo nmap -sVC -T4 -Pn -vv -p 443 pizzatime.ctf.intigriti.io

By scanning the 443 port and using whatweb, we only know it’s using nginx

So I’m guessing it could be python Flask/Django or node js web app

Try fuzzing for SSTI first, since customer name was rendered in the response

SSTI - Flask

Blacklist bypass with new lines

It have a filter which detects invalid characters

Almost all special characters were filtered

1
ffuf -c -request order_fuzz.req -w /usr/share/seclists/Fuzzing/special-chars.txt -mr "Invalid characters detected"

& and + were the only ones that weren’t filtered

1
ffuf -c -request order_fuzz.req -w /usr/share/seclists/Fuzzing/special-chars.txt -fr "Invalid characters detected"

I didn’t found any payload in wordlists that doesn’t contain the banned characters

ffuf -c -request order_fuzz.req -w /usr/share/seclists/Fuzzing/special-chars.txt -mr "Invalid characters detected" -o banned_chars

Since curly braces {} were in blacklist, there must be a way to fully jump out of blacklist check

1

While having spaces in payload, the site gives 500 Internal Server Error

Put the payload in a custom header then load it to bypass

From red team perspective, don’t put payloads in headers such as User-Agent since web logs will collect it as default

This if condition is the key

if (Program.IsBase64String(text2) && text2.Length > 20 && text2.Length <= 30 && Resources.anon.Contains(text2))

In order to meet the condition, password must be : a base64 string from anonymous banner, and the length is between 21~30

Copy the banner and find a string from it that meets the condition

Brute force all possible base64 strings to get the flag

This cyberchef recipe can decode all base64 string too
