Mission

Customer Security Ltd has hired you to test the security of their internal management system. Your task is to find vulnerabilities in the application and break into the system.

The client also agreed to send you part of the system source code, but not everything.

#!/usr/bin/python3

# Kirjasto tietokannan hallintaan
from moduulit import tietokanta

# Flask verkkosivu kirjastot
from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, request
from flask import make_response

app = Flask(__name__)
haku = tietokanta.Haku()

@app.route("/")
def juuri():
  # Haetaan tunniste evaste
  tunniste = request.cookies.get('tunniste')
  # Jos tunniste on oikea, kayttaja on kirjautunut
  if tunniste == "ADMIN1":
    # Haetaan hallintanakyman tiedot 
    tiedot = haku.haeTiedot()
    return render_template("hallinta.html", tiedot=tiedot)
  # Muuten ohjataan kirjautumaan
  else:
    return redirect("/login")

@app.route("/login", methods=["GET","POST"])
def kirjaudu():
  if request.method == "GET":
    failed = request.args.get("vaarin")
    return render_template("kirjaudu.html", failed=failed)
  elif request.method == "POST":
    # Varmistetaan, etta tunnukset ovat oikein
    kayttaja = request.form.get("kayttaja")
    salasana = request.form.get("salasana")
    oikein = haku.varmistaTunnus(kayttaja, salasana)
    if oikein:
      # asetetaan istuntotunniste
      vastaus = make_response("blank.html")
      vastaus.set_cookie("tunniste", "ADMIN1")
      return vastaus
    else:
      return redirect("/login?vaarin=kylla")


if __name__ == '__main__':
  app.run(debug=False, host='0.0.0.0')

If the task feels difficult and doesn't seem to be solvable, we recommend also exploring the Python programming as well as Web development basics -course.
