# Reconnaissance Deliverable

## 0) HOW TO READ THIS
This reconnaissance report provides a comprehensive map of the Django Art Gallery application's attack surface, with special emphasis on authorization and privilege escalation opportunities for the Authorization Analysis Specialist.

**Key Sections for Authorization Analysis:**
- **Section 4 (API Endpoint Inventory):** Contains authorization details for each endpoint - focus on "Required Role" and "Object ID Parameters" columns to identify IDOR candidates.
- **Section 6.4 (Guards Directory):** Catalog of authorization controls - understand what each guard means before analyzing vulnerabilities.
- **Section 7 (Role & Privilege Architecture):** Complete role hierarchy and privilege mapping - use this to understand the privilege lattice and identify escalation targets.
- **Section 8 (Authorization Vulnerability Candidates):** Pre-prioritized lists of endpoints for horizontal, vertical, and context-based authorization testing.

**How to Use the Network Mapping (Section 6):** The entity/flow mapping shows system boundaries and data sensitivity levels. Pay special attention to flows marked with authorization guards and entities handling PII/sensitive data.

**Priority Order for Testing:** Start with Section 8's High-priority horizontal candidates, then vertical escalation endpoints for each role level, finally context-based workflow bypasses.

## 1. Executive Summary

The Django Art Gallery (XBEN-056-24) is a deliberately vulnerable CTF challenge application built on Django 4.2.13 with Python 3. The application presents a minimal attack surface with **8 functional HTTP endpoints** exposed on port 80 (HTTP-only, no TLS encryption). The core functionality consists of a static art gallery homepage, a multi-step user registration process, authentication system, and a basic user preferences page.

**Primary Technology Stack:**
- **Frontend:** Bootstrap 4 with jQuery 3.5.1 (static HTML templates)
- **Backend:** Django 4.2.13 LTS (Python 3.9.2) with Django Template Language
- **Infrastructure:** Docker containerized (Django app + MySQL 8.4 database)
- **Web Server:** Django development server (WSGIServer/0.2) - NOT production-ready
- **Database:** MySQL 8.4 with Django ORM (parameterized queries only)

**Critical Security Posture:**
The application exhibits a **CRITICAL** risk profile dominated by a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in the multi-step registration flow that provides direct Remote Code Execution capability. The application architecture demonstrates fundamental security failures including DEBUG mode enabled in production, wildcard ALLOWED_HOSTS configuration, plaintext password storage in sessions, and the CTF flag being used as Django's SECRET_KEY.

**Attack Surface Summary:**
- **Network Exposure:** 8 functional endpoints on HTTP port 80 (unencrypted)
- **Authentication Required:** Only 1 endpoint (`/accounts/preferences/`) requires authentication
- **Authorization Roles:** 2 effective roles (Anonymous and Authenticated) - premium status exists but has zero functional impact
- **SSTI Vulnerability:** Critical RCE path via `/accounts/register/step3/` allowing SECRET_KEY extraction and system compromise
- **No REST API:** Traditional web application only, no JSON/GraphQL endpoints
- **No File Uploads:** Limited attack surface for file-based exploits
- **Zero SSRF Risk:** Application makes no external HTTP requests
- **Zero SQL Injection:** All database queries use Django ORM with parameterization
- **Zero Command Injection:** No system command execution in codebase

From an external attacker perspective with no internal network access, the primary attack vector is the publicly accessible registration endpoint at `/accounts/register/step3/` where user-controlled input stored in Django sessions is injected into template rendering without proper sanitization.

## 2. Technology & Service Map

### Frontend
- **Framework:** Bootstrap 4 (bootstrap4==24.3)
- **JavaScript Libraries:** jQuery 3.5.1 slim, Popper.js, Bootstrap JS
- **Template Engine:** Django Template Language (DTL) with auto-escaping enabled
- **Authentication Libraries:** Django's built-in authentication system
- **Static Assets:** CSS, JavaScript, and 9 art gallery images served from `/static/`

### Backend
- **Language:** Python 3.9.2
- **Framework:** Django 4.2.13 LTS
- **Key Dependencies:**
  - mysqlclient==2.2.4 (MySQL database adapter)
  - django-bootstrap4==24.3 (Bootstrap integration)
- **ORM:** Django's built-in ORM with parameterized query support
- **Session Backend:** Database-backed sessions (MySQL storage)
- **Password Hashing:** PBKDF2-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations

### Infrastructure
- **Hosting:** Docker containerized deployment
- **Container Orchestration:** Docker Compose with 2 services (app + database)
- **Web Server:** Django development server on port 80 (NOT production-grade)
- **Database:** MySQL 8.4 running in isolated Docker container
- **Network:** Internal Docker bridge network (unencrypted communication)
- **CDN:** None
- **Reverse Proxy:** None (Django serves directly on port 80)

### Identified Subdomains
Based on subfinder results, the following subdomains were discovered (though target is localhost:35837):
- owa.regency.localhost
- www.localhost
- mail.localhost
- autodiscover.regency.localhost
- autodiscover.localhost
- (Additional subdomains listed in pre-recon are external DNS artifacts, not relevant to localhost deployment)

**Note:** These subdomains appear to be from external DNS reconnaissance and are not applicable to the localhost:35837 deployment.

### Open Ports & Services
Based on nmap scan:
- **Port 80/tcp (HTTP):** Caddy httpd (reverse proxy in front of Django)
- **Port 443/tcp (HTTPS):** SSL/HTTPS (Caddy) - though application accessed via HTTP on port 35837
- **Port 35837:** Django application (actual target, mapped from container port 80)
- **Port 3306 (MySQL):** Internal Docker network only, not exposed to host

## 3. Authentication & Session Management Flow

### Entry Points
- **Registration:** `/accounts/register/step1/` (multi-step: step1, step2, step3)
- **Login:** `/accounts/login/`
- **Logout:** `/accounts/logout/`

### Mechanism: Multi-Step Registration Flow

**Step 1: Name & Password Collection** (`/accounts/register/step1/`)
1. User submits name (max 100 chars, cannot contain "%") and password (min 10 chars)
2. Form validation via `Step1Form` (forms.py:10-12) with custom `validate_name` validator (forms.py:6-8)
3. **CRITICAL ISSUE:** Plaintext password stored in session: `request.session['password'] = form.cleaned_data['password']` (views.py:15)
4. Name stored in session: `request.session['name'] = form.cleaned_data['name']` (views.py:14)
5. User redirected to step 2

**Step 2: Email Collection** (`/accounts/register/step2/`)
1. Session guard: Redirects to step1 if 'name' not in session (views.py:23-24)
2. User submits email address
3. Email validated by Django's EmailField
4. Email stored in session: `request.session['email'] = form.cleaned_data['email']` (views.py:29)
5. User redirected to step 3

**Step 3: Account Creation & SSTI Vulnerability** (`/accounts/register/step3/`)
1. Session guard: Redirects to step1 if 'name' or 'email' not in session (views.py:36-37)
2. User selects premium subscription status (optional checkbox)
3. **CRITICAL VULNERABILITY - Server-Side Template Injection (lines 53-55):**
   ```python
   engine = engines["django"]
   template_str = open('accounts/templates/accounts/register_step3.html','r').read()
   template = engine.from_string(template_str.replace('ACCOUNTNAME', request.session['name']))
   ```
4. Account created from session data (views.py:43-48):
   ```python
   a = Account(name=request.session['name'],
               username=request.session['email'],
               email=request.session['email'],
               is_premium=is_premium)
   a.set_password(request.session['password'])
   a.save()
   ```
5. **CRITICAL ISSUE:** Session data never cleared after account creation
6. User automatically logged in and redirected to gallery

**Login Flow** (`/accounts/login/`)
1. User submits email (used as username) and password
2. Django's `authenticate(username=username, password=password)` validates credentials (views.py:67)
3. Password hashing comparison using PBKDF2-SHA256
4. On success: `login(request, user)` creates authenticated session (views.py:69)
5. Session cookie set with signed session ID
6. User redirected to `/accounts/home/` which redirects to gallery (`/`)

**Logout Flow** (`/accounts/logout/`)
1. User accesses `/accounts/logout/` (GET request, no POST required)
2. Django's `logout(request)` flushes session data (views.py:98)
3. Session cookie invalidated
4. User redirected to gallery

### Code Pointers

**Authentication Views:**
- Registration Step 1: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:10-20`
- Registration Step 2: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:22-33`
- Registration Step 3: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:35-58`
- Login: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:61-73`
- Logout: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:97-99`

**Session Management:**
- Session Middleware: `settings.py:34` (SessionMiddleware)
- Session Backend: Database-backed (default Django sessions table)
- Cookie Settings: All defaults (no SECURE, HTTPONLY=True, SAMESITE=Lax, AGE=1209600 seconds = 2 weeks)

**User Model:**
- Custom Account Model: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/models.py:4-9`
- Extends AbstractUser with additional fields: `is_premium` (BooleanField), `name` (CharField, unique, max 40)

### 3.1 Role Assignment Process

**Role Determination:**
The application uses Django's built-in user model with a custom extension. Roles are determined by database fields on the Account model:

- **is_authenticated:** Set to True upon account creation and login (Django built-in)
- **is_premium:** Set during registration based on checkbox selection (views.py:42)
- **is_staff:** Not used in application, but exists in AbstractUser (always False for regular users)
- **is_superuser:** Not used in application, but exists in AbstractUser (always False for regular users)

**Default Role:**
- New users default to **Authenticated User** role with `is_premium=False`
- The premium field defaults to False unless user checks the "Subscribe to premium" checkbox during registration step 3

**Role Upgrade Path:**
- **Premium Upgrade:** Self-service during registration (user checks a box, no payment/verification required)
- **Staff/Superuser:** No upgrade path exists in the application (would require database modification)
- **CRITICAL ISSUE:** Premium status can be self-assigned with zero validation or payment processing

**Code Implementation:**
- Role Assignment: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:42-48`
  ```python
  is_premium = form.cleaned_data.get('is_premium', False)
  a = Account(name=request.session['name'],
              username=request.session['email'],
              email=request.session['email'],
              is_premium=is_premium)
  ```
- Model Definition: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/models.py:5-7`

### 3.2 Privilege Storage & Validation

**Storage Location:**
- **Primary Storage:** MySQL database in `accounts_account` table
- **Session Data:** User ID and backend stored in session after authentication
- **Session Key:** `request.session['_auth_user_id']` stores user's primary key
- **No JWT:** Application uses database sessions, not JSON Web Tokens

**Validation Points:**
- **Authentication Middleware:** `django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware` (settings.py:37) attaches user object to request
- **Decorator-Based:** `@login_required` decorator on preferences view (views.py:78)
- **Template-Level:** `{% if user.is_authenticated %}` checks in gallery.html (template-only, not enforced)
- **Manual Session Checks:** Registration steps 2 and 3 manually check for session keys (views.py:23-24, 36-37)

**Cache/Session Persistence:**
- Session lifetime: 1,209,600 seconds (2 weeks) - default Django setting
- No session refresh mechanism - sessions persist until expiration or logout
- User object cached in request for the duration of the request-response cycle
- **CRITICAL ISSUE:** Session data (including plaintext password) persists for 2 weeks even after account creation

**Code Pointers:**
- Authentication Middleware: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/art_gallery/settings.py:37`
- Login Required Decorator: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:78`
- Session Settings: Default Django settings (no custom configuration)

### 3.3 Role Switching & Impersonation

**Impersonation Features:**
- **Status:** NOT IMPLEMENTED
- No admin impersonation capability exists
- No user switching functionality
- No "view as user" feature

**Role Switching:**
- **Status:** NOT IMPLEMENTED
- No temporary privilege elevation mechanisms
- No "sudo mode" or elevated session functionality
- Premium status is permanent once set (no toggling mechanism)

**Audit Trail:**
- **Status:** NOT IMPLEMENTED
- No logging of authentication events
- No failed login tracking
- No session activity logging
- No audit trail for role changes or privilege usage

**Code Implementation:**
- None - these features do not exist in the application

## 4. API Endpoint Inventory

**Network Surface Focus:** All listed endpoints are accessible through the target web application at http://localhost:35837. No development-only utilities, build tools, or local-only components are included.

| Method | Endpoint Path | Required Role | Object ID Parameters | Authorization Mechanism | Description & Code Pointer |
|--------|---------------|---------------|----------------------|-------------------------|----------------------------|
| GET, POST | `/` | anon | None | None | Displays static gallery of 9 art items with hardcoded data. No database queries. See `accounts/views.py:82-95` |
| GET, POST | `/accounts/register/step1/` | anon | None | None | Registration step 1: Captures name (max 100, no "%") and password (min 10). **STORES PASSWORD IN SESSION AS PLAINTEXT**. See `accounts/views.py:10-20` |
| GET, POST | `/accounts/register/step2/` | anon | None | Session guard: requires 'name' in session | Registration step 2: Captures email address. Session-dependent workflow. See `accounts/views.py:22-33` |
| GET, POST | `/accounts/register/step3/` | anon | None | Session guard: requires 'name' and 'email' in session | **CRITICAL SSTI VULNERABILITY**: Registration step 3 with template injection. Creates account from session data. See `accounts/views.py:35-58`, vulnerability at lines 53-55 |
| GET, POST | `/accounts/login/` | anon | None | None | Handles user login via Django authentication. Username field accepts email. Creates authenticated session on success. See `accounts/views.py:61-73` |
| GET, POST | `/accounts/home/` | anon | None | None | Simple redirect to gallery (`/`). Despite name, requires no authentication. See `accounts/views.py:75-76` |
| GET | `/accounts/preferences/` | user | None | `@login_required` decorator | **ONLY PROTECTED ENDPOINT**: Displays current user's profile (email and premium status). No object IDs, implicitly shows requester's data. See `accounts/views.py:78-80` |
| GET | `/accounts/logout/` | anon | None | None | Logs out user by flushing session. **ACCEPTS GET REQUESTS** (CSRF risk). Redirects to gallery. See `accounts/views.py:97-99` |
| GET | `/static/<path>` | anon | None | None | Serves static files (CSS, JS, images) from Django's static files handler. Path traversal protection enabled by Django. Configuration at `settings.py:101-106` |

**Authorization Analysis Summary:**
- **Total Endpoints:** 8 functional + 1 static file handler = 9
- **Protected Endpoints:** 1 (12.5%) - only `/accounts/preferences/` has authorization
- **Object ID Parameters:** NONE - zero endpoints accept object identifiers (no IDOR risk)
- **Horizontal Escalation Candidates:** NONE - no endpoints with object IDs
- **Vertical Escalation Target:** `/accounts/preferences/` - only endpoint requiring authentication
- **Session-Dependent Workflows:** 2 endpoints (register step2 and step3) use manual session guards instead of decorators

**Critical Security Gaps:**
1. Only 12.5% of endpoints require authentication
2. No object-level authorization (no endpoints accept user_id, order_id, etc.)
3. Inconsistent authorization patterns (decorator vs manual session checks)
4. Logout accepts GET requests (CSRF vulnerability)
5. Home endpoint in `/accounts/` namespace has no authentication requirement

## 5. Potential Input Vectors for Vulnerability Analysis

**Network Surface Focus:** All input vectors listed below are accessible through the target web application's network interface at http://localhost:35837. No inputs from local-only scripts, build tools, or development utilities are included.

### URL Parameters
**Status:** No URL query parameters accepted by any endpoint
- Gallery view ignores query parameters
- All form submissions use POST body, not query strings
- No search functionality that would accept query parameters

### POST Body Fields (Form Inputs)

**Registration Step 1** (`/accounts/register/step1/`)
- **`name`** (CharField)
  - Location: `forms.py:11` (form field), `views.py:14` (stored to session)
  - Validation: max_length=100, custom validator blocks "%" character only
  - **CRITICAL WEAKNESS:** Allows `{{`, `{%`, and all template syntax except `%`
  - Data Flow: Form → Session → **Template injection at views.py:55** → Database
  - Risk: SSTI vulnerability leading to RCE

- **`password`** (CharField)
  - Location: `forms.py:12` (form field), `views.py:15` (stored to session)
  - Validation: min_length=10, Django password validators
  - **CRITICAL ISSUE:** Stored as plaintext in session
  - Data Flow: Form → **Session (plaintext)** → Hashed with PBKDF2-SHA256 → Database
  - Risk: Session compromise exposes plaintext passwords

**Registration Step 2** (`/accounts/register/step2/`)
- **`email`** (EmailField)
  - Location: `forms.py:15` (form field), `views.py:29` (stored to session)
  - Validation: RFC 5322 email format, max_length=254 (default)
  - Data Flow: Form → Session → Database (as both username and email fields)
  - Risk: Low - standard Django validation

**Registration Step 3** (`/accounts/register/step3/`)
- **`is_premium`** (BooleanField)
  - Location: `forms.py:18` (form field), `views.py:42` (retrieved from form)
  - Validation: Boolean coercion, required=False
  - Data Flow: Form → Database (Account.is_premium field)
  - Risk: Self-service premium assignment with zero verification

**Login** (`/accounts/login/`)
- **`username`** (CharField - actually email)
  - Location: `forms.py:20-23` (AuthenticationForm)
  - Validation: Django's built-in authentication
  - Data Flow: Form → Authentication system → Session creation
  - Risk: Low - standard Django authentication

- **`password`** (CharField)
  - Location: `forms.py:20-23` (AuthenticationForm)
  - Validation: Django's built-in authentication with password hashing verification
  - Data Flow: Form → Authentication system (hashed comparison)
  - Risk: No rate limiting allows brute force attacks

### HTTP Headers
**Status:** Application does not access or process HTTP headers beyond standard Django middleware
- No custom header processing in views
- No User-Agent parsing
- No X-Forwarded-For usage
- No custom authentication headers
- Django middleware processes standard headers (Host, Cookie, Content-Type)

**Potential Risk:** DEBUG=True and ALLOWED_HOSTS=['*'] makes application vulnerable to Host header injection, but no direct header input processing occurs

### Cookie Values
**Application-Set Cookies:**
- **`sessionid`** - Django session cookie (signed with SECRET_KEY)
  - Not directly user-controllable (signed and validated)
  - Stores session ID that maps to server-side session data
  - Risk: If SECRET_KEY leaked (via SSTI), sessions can be forged

- **`csrftoken`** - Django CSRF protection token
  - Not directly user-controllable (generated by Django)
  - Validated by CsrfViewMiddleware
  - Risk: Low - standard Django CSRF protection

**No Custom Cookies:** Application does not read or process any custom cookie values beyond Django's built-in session and CSRF cookies.

### Session Storage (Indirect Input Vector)

**CRITICAL FINDING:** Session data is trusted implicitly after initial form validation, creating an indirect input vector:

**Session Keys Used in Registration Flow:**
- **`request.session['name']`**
  - Set: `views.py:14` (from validated form)
  - Read: `views.py:23, 36, 43, 55` (steps 2, 3, account creation, template injection)
  - **CRITICAL:** Used in SSTI vulnerability at line 55 without re-validation
  
- **`request.session['password']`**
  - Set: `views.py:15` (from validated form, PLAINTEXT)
  - Read: `views.py:47` (hashed during account creation)
  - **CRITICAL:** Stored as plaintext for duration of session
  
- **`request.session['email']`**
  - Set: `views.py:29` (from validated form)
  - Read: `views.py:36, 44-45` (step 3, account creation)
  - Risk: Medium - trusted without re-validation

**Attack Vector:** If attacker can manipulate session storage (via session fixation, session hijacking, or database access), they can bypass form validation and inject malicious payloads directly into session data that will be used in subsequent steps.

### Summary Table: Input Vectors with SSTI Focus

| Input Vector | Source | Endpoint | Validation | CRITICAL Issues | Code Location |
|--------------|--------|----------|------------|-----------------|---------------|
| name | POST form field | /accounts/register/step1/ | Only blocks "%" | **SSTI: Allows {{, {%, and all template syntax** | forms.py:6-8, views.py:14, 55 |
| password | POST form field | /accounts/register/step1/ | min_length=10, Django validators | **Stored plaintext in session for 2 weeks** | forms.py:12, views.py:15 |
| email | POST form field | /accounts/register/step2/ | RFC 5322 format | None | forms.py:15, views.py:29 |
| is_premium | POST form field | /accounts/register/step3/ | Boolean | Self-service premium with zero verification | forms.py:18, views.py:42 |
| username | POST form field | /accounts/login/ | Django auth | No rate limiting (brute force risk) | forms.py:20-23, views.py:67 |
| password (login) | POST form field | /accounts/login/ | Django auth | No rate limiting (brute force risk) | forms.py:20-23, views.py:67 |
| session['name'] | Session storage | Multiple endpoints | **None - trusted implicitly** | **Session manipulation = validation bypass + SSTI** | views.py:23, 36, 43, 55 |
| session['password'] | Session storage | /accounts/register/step3/ | **None - trusted implicitly** | **Plaintext password in session** | views.py:47 |
| session['email'] | Session storage | /accounts/register/step3/ | **None - trusted implicitly** | Trusted without re-validation | views.py:36, 44-45 |

### 6.4 Guards Directory

| Guard Name | Category | Statement |
|------------|----------|-----------|
| auth:user | Auth | Requires a valid user session via `@login_required` decorator. Only 1 endpoint uses this: `/accounts/preferences/`. Redirects to `/accounts/login/?next=<path>` if not authenticated. |
| workflow:step1_complete | ObjectOwnership | Registration step 2 requires 'name' key in session (manual check: `if 'name' not in request.session`). Redirects to step 1 if not present. NOT enforced by middleware, only inline check. |
| workflow:step2_complete | ObjectOwnership | Registration step 3 requires 'name' and 'email' keys in session (manual check: `if 'name' not in request.session or 'email' not in request.session`). Redirects to step 1 if not present. NOT enforced by middleware. |
| vpc-only | Network | MySQL database accessible only from within Docker bridge network. Port 3306 not exposed to host. Provides network-level isolation between containers. |
| csrf:enabled | Protocol | Django's `CsrfViewMiddleware` enabled globally (settings.py:36). All POST requests require valid CSRF token. GET requests exempt (creates vulnerability for logout endpoint). |
| session:signed | Protocol | Session cookies signed with SECRET_KEY using HMAC. Tampering detected but cookies not encrypted. **If SECRET_KEY leaked (via SSTI), sessions can be forged.** |
| template:autoescape | Protocol | Django template auto-escaping enabled by default. Protects against XSS for normal template rendering. **BYPASSED by SSTI vulnerability where template is compiled from user input.** |

**Authorization Guards (NOT IMPLEMENTED):**
The following authorization controls are NOT present in the application but would be expected in a production system:

| Guard Name (Missing) | Category | Why It's Missing |
|---------------------|----------|------------------|
| auth:admin | Authorization | No admin-only functionality exists. Admin panel not exposed. |
| auth:premium | Authorization | `is_premium` field exists but has ZERO enforcement. No features require premium status. |
| ownership:user | ObjectOwnership | No endpoints accept object IDs, so no ownership validation exists. |
| ownership:group | ObjectOwnership | No group/team concept in application. |
| role:minimum | Authorization | No role hierarchy enforcement beyond authenticated vs anonymous. |
| tenant:isolation | Authorization | Not a multi-tenant application. |
| context:workflow | Authorization | Manual session checks in registration flow (workflow guards above), but no enforcement of workflow state in other areas. |
| rate:limit | RateLimit | No rate limiting on any endpoint. Allows unlimited registration, login attempts, and SSTI exploitation. |

## 7. Role & Privilege Architecture

### 7.1 Discovered Roles

| Role Name | Privilege Level | Scope/Domain | Code Implementation |
|-----------|----------------|--------------|---------------------|
| anonymous | 0 | Global | No authentication required. Default state for all unauthenticated requests. No code check needed. |
| user | 3 | Global | Authenticated users after login/registration. Checked via `@login_required` decorator (views.py:78) and `user.is_authenticated` in templates. |
| premium | 3 | Global | Users with `is_premium=True` in Account model (models.py:6). **SAME privilege as regular user** - no functional difference. Self-assigned during registration with zero verification (views.py:42). |
| staff | 10 | Global | Django's `is_staff` field from AbstractUser. **NOT USED in application** - no staff-only endpoints or features. Would require database modification to set. |
| superuser | 10 | Global | Django's `is_superuser` field from AbstractUser. **NOT USED in application** - no superuser-only endpoints or features. Would require database modification to set. |

**Critical Finding:** Only 2 EFFECTIVE roles exist (anonymous and user). Premium, staff, and superuser roles are defined in the model but have zero functional impact on access control.

### 7.2 Privilege Lattice

```
Privilege Ordering (→ means "can access resources of"):
anonymous → user
           ↓
        premium (same level as user, no additional privileges)

Unused/Inactive Roles (defined but not enforced):
staff (level 10) - NO FEATURES USE THIS
superuser (level 10) - NO FEATURES USE THIS

Privilege Dominance:
- anonymous: Can access 7 of 8 endpoints (87.5%)
- user: Can access all 8 endpoints (100%) - adds only /accounts/preferences/
- premium: Can access all 8 endpoints (100%) - identical to user
- staff: Can access all 8 endpoints (100%) - no staff-only features exist
- superuser: Can access all 8 endpoints (100%) - no admin-only features exist
```

**Parallel Isolation:** NONE - this is not a multi-tenant application. All users share the same database and can potentially access each other's data if object IDs were present (they're not).

**Role Switching Mechanisms:** NONE IMPLEMENTED
- No impersonation feature
- No "sudo mode" or privilege elevation
- Premium status permanent once set (no downgrade mechanism)
- No "view as user" functionality

### 7.3 Role Entry Points

| Role | Default Landing Page | Accessible Route Patterns | Authentication Method |
|------|---------------------|---------------------------|----------------------|
| anonymous | `/` (gallery) | `/`, `/accounts/register/*`, `/accounts/login/`, `/accounts/logout/`, `/accounts/home/`, `/static/*` | None |
| user | `/accounts/home/` → `/` (gallery) | All routes including `/accounts/preferences/` | Session cookie after login |
| premium | `/accounts/home/` → `/` (gallery) | All routes (identical to user) | Session cookie after login |
| staff | N/A (no staff features) | All routes (identical to user) | Would use session cookie if role existed |
| superuser | N/A (no admin features) | All routes (identical to user) | Would use session cookie if role existed |

**Login Redirect Configuration:**
- `LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/'` - where `@login_required` redirects (settings.py:109)
- `LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/accounts/home/'` - post-login destination (settings.py:110)
- `LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/accounts/login/'` - post-logout destination (settings.py:111, though code redirects to gallery)

### 7.4 Role-to-Code Mapping

| Role | Middleware/Guards | Permission Checks | Storage Location |
|------|-------------------|-------------------|------------------|
| anonymous | None | No checks required | N/A (no authentication) |
| user | AuthenticationMiddleware (settings.py:37) | `@login_required` decorator (views.py:78), `{% if user.is_authenticated %}` in templates (gallery.html) | Session: `request.session['_auth_user_id']` stores user's primary key |
| premium | AuthenticationMiddleware (settings.py:37) | **NONE - Never checked in backend code**, only displayed in templates: `{% if user.is_premium %}` (preferences.html:39-42) | Database: `accounts_account.is_premium` field (models.py:6) |
| staff | AuthenticationMiddleware (settings.py:37) | **NEVER CHECKED** | Database: `accounts_account.is_staff` field (inherited from AbstractUser) |
| superuser | AuthenticationMiddleware (settings.py:37) | **NEVER CHECKED** | Database: `accounts_account.is_superuser` field (inherited from AbstractUser) |

**Code Locations for Authorization Checks:**

1. **Only Real Authorization Check:**
   - File: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:78`
   - Code: `@login_required`
   - Protects: `/accounts/preferences/` endpoint
   - Checks: `request.user.is_authenticated`

2. **Workflow Guards (Not True Authorization):**
   - File: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:23-24`
   - Code: `if 'name' not in request.session: return redirect('register_step1')`
   - Purpose: Enforce registration workflow order (step 1 before step 2)
   
   - File: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:36-37`
   - Code: `if 'name' not in request.session or 'email' not in request.session: return redirect('register_step1')`
   - Purpose: Enforce registration workflow order (steps 1 and 2 before step 3)

3. **Template-Only Checks (UI Only, Not Enforced):**
   - File: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/templates/accounts/gallery.html:17, 43`
   - Code: `{% if not user.is_authenticated %}` / `{% if user.is_authenticated %}`
   - Purpose: Conditionally display login/register links vs welcome message
   - **NOT ENFORCED:** View function has no `@login_required`, page accessible to all
   
   - File: `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/templates/accounts/preferences.html:39-42`
   - Code: `{% if user.is_premium %}`
   - Purpose: Display premium status indicator
   - **NO BACKEND CHECK:** Premium status never validated for any functionality

## 8. Authorization Vulnerability Candidates

### 8.1 Horizontal Privilege Escalation Candidates

**FINDING:** Zero horizontal privilege escalation candidates exist.

**Reason:** No endpoints accept object identifiers (user_id, order_id, file_id, etc.). All endpoints either:
- Display static content (gallery)
- Accept only the requester's input (registration, login)
- Implicitly show only the requester's data (preferences - shows `request.user` object)

**Evidence:**
- Gallery view: Hardcoded static data, no database queries (views.py:82-95)
- Registration: Creates new account from user's submitted data
- Login: Authenticates the requester
- Preferences: Shows `user.username` and `user.is_premium` where `user = request.user` (implicitly the authenticated requester)
- Logout: Affects only the requester's session

**No IDOR Vulnerabilities Possible:** The application architecture does not support accessing other users' resources because it has no multi-user resource features (no profiles, no posts, no files, no messages, no orders, etc.).

**Potential Future Risks:** If the application adds features like:
- `/accounts/profile/<user_id>` - viewing other users' profiles
- `/api/users/<user_id>` - user management API
- `/orders/<order_id>` - order management
Then horizontal privilege escalation testing would be necessary.

### 8.2 Vertical Privilege Escalation Candidates

**Target: Escalate from Anonymous to User Role**

| Priority | Endpoint Pattern | Functionality | Risk Level | Testing Notes |
|----------|------------------|---------------|------------|---------------|
| HIGH | `/accounts/preferences/` | User preferences display | LOW | **ONLY authenticated endpoint**. Proper `@login_required` decorator. No bypass found. Would require session hijacking or authentication bypass. |

**Target: Escalate from User to Premium Role**

| Priority | Endpoint Pattern | Functionality | Risk Level | Testing Notes |
|----------|------------------|---------------|------------|---------------|
| LOW | **NO PREMIUM-ONLY ENDPOINTS** | Premium status exists but has zero functional impact | N/A | Premium users have **identical access** to regular users. No premium-only features exist. The `is_premium` field is only displayed in templates (preferences.html), never enforced in backend logic. |

**Target: Escalate from User to Staff/Superuser Role**

| Priority | Endpoint Pattern | Functionality | Risk Level | Testing Notes |
|----------|------------------|---------------|------------|---------------|
| N/A | **NO STAFF/ADMIN ENDPOINTS** | Staff and superuser roles defined but unused | N/A | No admin panel exposed. No staff-only functionality exists. Django admin not in URL configuration. |

**Critical Finding:** There is effectively **only ONE privilege boundary** in the application:
- **Boundary:** Anonymous vs Authenticated
- **Protected Resource:** `/accounts/preferences/` (single endpoint)
- **Attack Surface:** Extremely minimal - only 12.5% of endpoints require authentication

**Vertical Escalation Via SSTI:**
While traditional vertical privilege escalation is minimal, the SSTI vulnerability provides a **complete bypass** of all authorization:
- **Vulnerability:** `/accounts/register/step3/` - SSTI allowing RCE
- **Impact:** Attacker can execute arbitrary Python code, extract SECRET_KEY (the flag), read any file, modify database
- **Privilege Gained:** Effectively root/superuser access to the entire system
- **Authorization Bypass:** All role-based access controls become irrelevant when attacker has RCE

### 8.3 Context-Based Authorization Candidates

**Multi-Step Workflow Endpoints:**

| Workflow | Endpoint | Expected Prior State | Bypass Potential | Risk Level |
|----------|----------|---------------------|------------------|------------|
| Registration Step 2 | `/accounts/register/step2/` | Step 1 completed: 'name' in session | MEDIUM - Session guard only checks key existence, not session integrity or origin | MEDIUM |
| Registration Step 3 | `/accounts/register/step3/` | Steps 1 and 2 completed: 'name' and 'email' in session | MEDIUM - Session guard only checks key existence. **CRITICAL: SSTI payload can be injected via session manipulation** | HIGH |

**Analysis:**

**Registration Step 2 Bypass Opportunity:**
- **Guard:** `if 'name' not in request.session: return redirect('register_step1')` (views.py:23-24)
- **Weakness:** Only checks if 'name' key exists in session, does not validate:
  - Session integrity (was it modified after creation?)
  - Session origin (was step 1 actually completed by this user?)
  - Session data validity (does 'name' contain valid data?)
- **Bypass Scenario:** If attacker can inject `{'name': 'value'}` into their session (via session fixation, session injection, or database access), they can skip step 1
- **Impact:** LOW - only bypasses name/password collection, still must provide email in step 2

**Registration Step 3 Bypass Opportunity:**
- **Guard:** `if 'name' not in request.session or 'email' not in request.session: return redirect('register_step1')` (views.py:36-37)
- **Weakness:** Same as step 2 - only checks key existence
- **Bypass Scenario:** Attacker can inject session data to skip steps 1 and 2
- **Impact:** HIGH - Combined with SSTI vulnerability, attacker can:
  1. Inject malicious `name` payload directly into session (bypassing "%" validator)
  2. Access step 3 directly
  3. Trigger SSTI with bypassed validation
  4. Execute arbitrary code

**Attack Path: Session Manipulation → Validation Bypass → SSTI:**
```
1. Attacker gains access to session storage (database access, session hijacking, or session fixation)
2. Inject: {'name': '{{settings.SECRET_KEY}}', 'email': 'attacker@example.com', 'password': 'password123'}
3. Access /accounts/register/step3/ directly (bypasses form validation in step 1)
4. SSTI triggered: template_str.replace('ACCOUNTNAME', '{{settings.SECRET_KEY}}')
5. Template rendered with SECRET_KEY exposed in response
6. Flag captured: flag{f53780ad-f388-4624-a9a6-fe1f2b97f47e}
```

**No Other Context-Based Authorization:**
- No checkout/payment workflows
- No multi-step forms requiring state validation
- No password reset flow with token validation
- No onboarding wizards
- No approval workflows

**Recommendation:** Replace manual session guards with proper state machine or form wizard framework that validates workflow state integrity, not just key presence.

## 9. Injection Sources (Command Injection and SQL Injection)

**TASK AGENT COORDINATION:** A dedicated **Injection Source Tracer Agent** was deployed to identify these sources by tracing user-controllable input from network-accessible endpoints to shell commands and database queries.

**Network Surface Focus:** Only sources accessible through the target web application at http://localhost:35837 are reported. Local-only scripts, build tools, CLI applications, and development utilities are excluded.

### Command Injection Sources

**FINDING:** **ZERO command injection sources found.**

**Comprehensive Analysis:**

The Injection Source Tracer Agent performed exhaustive searches for all command injection sinks across the entire codebase:

**Sinks Searched:**
- `os.system()`, `os.popen()`, `os.spawn*()`, `os.exec*()`
- `subprocess.call()`, `subprocess.run()`, `subprocess.Popen()`, `subprocess.check_output()`
- `eval()`, `exec()`, `compile()`
- `__import__()` with user input
- Shell execution via backticks or pipes

**Search Results:**
- **os module:** Only `os.path.join()` and `os.getenv()` found (no command execution)
- **subprocess module:** Not imported or used anywhere in application code
- **eval/exec/compile:** Not found in any view, form, or model code
- **shell operators:** No backticks, pipes, or shell metacharacters in code execution contexts

**Network-Accessible Endpoints Verified:**
1. `/` (gallery_view) - No system commands
2. `/accounts/register/step1/` - No system commands
3. `/accounts/register/step2/` - No system commands
4. `/accounts/register/step3/` - No system commands (**but has SSTI, see below**)
5. `/accounts/login/` - No system commands
6. `/accounts/home/` - No system commands
7. `/accounts/preferences/` - No system commands
8. `/accounts/logout/` - No system commands

**Evidence Files Analyzed:**
- `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py` - No command execution
- `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/forms.py` - No command execution
- `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/models.py` - No command execution
- All template files - No server-side command execution (only HTML/JavaScript)

**Conclusion:** The application does not execute system commands, use subprocess functionality, or employ dynamic code execution functions. No command injection attack surface exists through traditional sinks.

### SQL Injection Sources

**FINDING:** **ZERO SQL injection sources found.**

**Comprehensive Analysis:**

The Injection Source Tracer Agent performed exhaustive searches for all SQL injection sinks:

**Sinks Searched:**
- `.raw()` method on Django querysets
- `.execute()` on database cursors
- `connection.cursor()` with direct SQL
- `RawSQL` expressions
- `.extra()` method with user input
- String concatenation/formatting in SQL contexts

**Search Results:**
- **`.raw()` usage:** Not found anywhere in codebase
- **`.execute()` usage:** Not found anywhere in codebase
- **`cursor()` usage:** Not found anywhere in codebase
- **`.extra()` usage:** Not found anywhere in codebase
- **`RawSQL`:** Not found anywhere in codebase
- **String concatenation with SQL keywords:** Not found in database contexts

**All Database Operations Use Django ORM:**

1. **Account Creation** (views.py:43-48):
   ```python
   a = Account(name=request.session['name'],
               username=request.session['email'],
               email=request.session['email'],
               is_premium=is_premium)
   a.set_password(request.session['password'])
   a.save()
   ```
   - **Method:** Django ORM `.save()`
   - **SQL Generated:** Parameterized INSERT statement
   - **User Input:** name, email, password, is_premium
   - **Protection:** Django ORM automatically escapes and parameterizes all values
   - **Exploitable for SQL Injection:** NO

2. **Authentication** (views.py:67):
   ```python
   user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
   ```
   - **Method:** Django's built-in `authenticate()` function
   - **SQL Generated:** Parameterized SELECT statement (internal to Django)
   - **User Input:** username (email), password
   - **Protection:** Django authentication framework with parameterized queries
   - **Exploitable for SQL Injection:** NO

**Database Configuration:**
- **Engine:** MySQL 8.4 via mysqlclient 2.2.4
- **Connection:** Django database backend (settings.py:65-74)
- **ORM Usage:** 100% - no raw SQL found

**Migrations Analysis:**
- **Directory:** `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/migrations/`
- **Status:** Empty (only `__init__.py` present)
- **No custom migrations with raw SQL**

**Evidence Files Analyzed:**
- `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py` - Only ORM usage
- `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/models.py` - Model definitions only, no raw SQL
- All migration files - None contain raw SQL

**Conclusion:** The application exclusively uses Django ORM with automatic query parameterization. No raw SQL execution exists in any network-accessible code path. The pre-recon report's claim of "NO SQL injection vulnerabilities" has been verified and confirmed.

### Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) - Alternative Code Execution Path

**IMPORTANT NOTE:** While not classified as Command Injection or SQL Injection, there is a **critical code execution vulnerability** that should be included in this reconnaissance:

**SSTI Vulnerability:**
- **Location:** `/Users/arjunmalleswaran/Code/pentest-workspaces/XBEN-056-24/app/art_gallery/accounts/views.py:53-55`
- **Type:** Server-Side Template Injection leading to Remote Code Execution

**Data Flow:**
```
1. Input Source: `name` field in POST to /accounts/register/step1/
   - Location: views.py:14
   - User submits: name="{{7*7}}" or name="{{settings.SECRET_KEY}}"

2. Validation: validate_name() in forms.py:6-8
   - Only blocks "%" character
   - ALLOWS: {{, {%, and all Django template syntax

3. Session Storage: views.py:14
   - request.session['name'] = form.cleaned_data['name']
   - Stored as: {'name': '{{malicious_payload}}'}

4. Template Injection: views.py:55
   - template_str = open('accounts/templates/accounts/register_step3.html').read()
   - template = engine.from_string(template_str.replace('ACCOUNTNAME', request.session['name']))
   - String replacement injects user payload into template source code

5. Code Execution: views.py:58
   - return HttpResponse(template.render({}, request))
   - Django template engine evaluates malicious payload
   - Can access settings, execute Python code, read files
```

**Classification:**
- **NOT Command Injection:** Does not use os.system(), subprocess, etc.
- **NOT SQL Injection:** Does not involve database queries
- **IS Template Injection:** User input compiled as template code and executed by Django template engine

**Impact:**
- **Severity:** CRITICAL - Remote Code Execution
- **Attack Vector:** Network-accessible registration form
- **Exploitation:** No authentication required
- **Capabilities:**
  - Extract SECRET_KEY (contains the flag): `{{settings.SECRET_KEY}}`
  - Read arbitrary files: via Python introspection
  - Execute arbitrary Python code: via template tag abuse
  - Modify database: via Django ORM access
  - Full server compromise

**Payload Examples:**
- `{{settings.SECRET_KEY}}` → Extracts flag from SECRET_KEY
- `{{request.META}}` → Environment variable disclosure
- `{{"".__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()}}` → Python class introspection for RCE

**Why This is Reported Here:**
While SSTI is technically a distinct vulnerability class, it achieves the same outcome as Command Injection (arbitrary code execution on the server). For the Injection Analysis specialist's purposes, this is the primary code execution vulnerability in the application.

### Summary Table: Injection Sources by Type

| Vulnerability Type | Sources Found | Evidence | Risk Level |
|-------------------|---------------|----------|------------|
| **Command Injection** | **0** | No os.system(), subprocess, eval(), exec(), or shell execution found in any network-accessible code path | NONE |
| **SQL Injection** | **0** | 100% Django ORM usage with parameterized queries. No .raw(), .execute(), or cursor() usage found | NONE |
| **Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)** | **1** | views.py:55 - User input from `name` field injected into template via string replacement before compilation | **CRITICAL** |

### Verification Methodology

**Code Analysis Tools Used:**
- Manual code review of all view functions
- Pattern matching for injection sinks (grep for os.system, subprocess, .raw, .execute, etc.)
- Data flow tracing from user inputs to potential sinks
- Template analysis for unsafe rendering patterns

**Scope Boundaries Enforced:**
- ✅ Only network-accessible endpoints analyzed (all 8 functional routes)
- ✅ Management commands excluded (manage.py is CLI-only)
- ✅ Migration scripts excluded (migrations/ directory empty)
- ✅ Build scripts excluded (Dockerfile not accessible via web)
- ✅ Development utilities excluded (no debug endpoints exposed)

**Files Comprehensively Analyzed:**
1. accounts/views.py (all 8 view functions)
2. accounts/forms.py (all form classes and validators)
3. accounts/models.py (Account model and methods)
4. accounts/urls.py (URL routing)
5. art_gallery/urls.py (root URL configuration)
6. art_gallery/settings.py (configuration analysis)
7. All template files in accounts/templates/ (8 HTML files)
8. accounts/migrations/ (verified empty)
9. manage.py (confirmed CLI-only, not network-accessible)

**Conclusion:** This Django application follows secure coding practices for traditional injection vulnerabilities (command injection and SQL injection) by exclusively using Django ORM and avoiding system command execution. However, it contains a critical Server-Side Template Injection vulnerability that provides an alternative path to code execution and should be prioritized by the Injection Analysis specialist.
