Hello I got the LFI (I wasted so much time trying to read outside root folder but I guess it’s not possible) and read app.js and leaked secret. I’m trying to use cookie monster GH repo to craft cookies but they are not working. Anybody available to chat?
Edit: finally got into the box. Onto root now!
Finally rooted! this Box was an amazing journey and a very hard box. Learnt a lot of things. Thanks for the box!
If anyone has the foothold figured out I would really appreciate an additional nudge. Been stuck with the ability to view all files for a long long time and nothing I’ve tried has been successful.
I can see all the files and can forge cookies. I have tried a serialisation payloads, tried leaking the passwords through editing the “user”, tried sql like injection, and tried changing the “username” (as this is reflected back in several places and goes into an insecure sql query).
