Profanity - An Inclusive Exploit (Deprecated)

NodeJS with Webpack Say Thanks! Version Deprecation

[18-03-2023]
ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCLOSED AND FIXED BY VENDOR
THIS EXPLOIT DOES NOT AFFECT THE VENDOR ANYMORE
SO MAKING IT PUBLIC
[25-09-2024]
REVIVING THIS PROJECT WITH AUTHENTICATION
AND USERS RESPONSBILITY

This repository contains exploit for bug in Authetication and API Access of the affected platform. This exploit has been released without the original vendor's prior knowledege as of now.

Affected Modules

The result (single and multiple both), which has not been published yet, The questions available on the platform, can be accessed without user authetication just by proper API calling.

Result section

After analyzing and modifying API callings, it has been acknowledged that Data can be accessed without authetication which is (here) two kind of tokens

  • Marks access POC

POCSS-1

As you can see there are no other authetication than formal headers and encrypted registration number. (The encryption backtracking was possible just by taking a look in query file).

Complete Section Result section

Same as previous can be access for whole bunch of registration numbers, while in the exploit, getting accessed through Vendor's chat API (another platform API of the same vendor) and writing into a Excel file.

Test paper section

All questions and their options is accessible regardless of user's interest or not, just by question id.

  • Questions Sequence detail Access POC

POCSS-2

  • Question Access POC

POCSS-3

  • Option Access POC (and hence complete test paper is accessible)

POCSS-4

Answer access and auto-attempt

Answers can be obtained by continuous marks tracking along with change in option. This will lead to accurate correct option access. This will also lead to auto-attempt paper for the provided user, but we may skip this step by using random registration numbers.

Question navigation not allowed module

Question Navigation not allowed is really a tough cookie as we can not modify the answer after checking result of current registration number, so we can use temproary registration number (1 reg for 1 option fill and check) and that's how we can break this trick also.

Suggested FIX

A valid authetication of API with mock access tokens being used, can save all these leaks.
