ChallengeName:Simple-SQLI

• The challenge invloves solving a simple sqlite injection and the source code for the challenge is given below!

from flask import Flask, request, render_template, g

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = os.urandom(32)

if os.path.exists(DATABASE) == False:
    db = sqlite3.connect(DATABASE)
    db.execute('create table users(userid char(100), userpassword char(100));')
    db.execute(f'insert into users(userid, userpassword) values ("guest", "guest"), ("admin", "{binascii.hexlify(os.urandom(16)).decode("utf8")}");')

    return db

        userpassword = request.form.get('userpassword')
        res = query_db(f'select * from users where userid="{userid}" and userpassword="{userpassword}"')
        if res:
            userid = res[0]
            if userid == 'admin':
                return f'hello {userid} flag is {FLAG}'
            return f'<script>alert("hello {userid}");history.go(-1);</script>'
        return '<script>alert("wrong");history.go(-1);</script>'

app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)

• It is easier to notice, the user input is directly appended to the sql query and we can simply craft a login bypass payload to solve this?

• Using this in userid admin" or 1=1 -- - will help us login! Lets try…

• We are logged in as guest but we supplied userid as admin :0 , the catch here is userid = res[0] [ Seems like it checking the response of 0th row and in 0th row we are having the userid guest]

• To bypass this we can use LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1 -limits the result to 1 row (LIMIT 1), and skips the first row, effectively returning the second row (OFFSET 1).

• This will return the userid admin and we get the flag!

Final payload : admin" or 1=1 LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1-- -

• Thanks !
