HackThisSite - Extended Basic Mission 07

Challenge

修正一个 PHP 页面里同时带有 bug 和漏洞的那一行，提交修正后的整行。

关卡页给出的是一段数据录入代码，要求：There is only one line that has a vuln, correct it. The output does not have to be valid XHTML and assume that a mysql connection has been made already. There is a bug as well as a vuln. You MUST fix both.

<?php
    if(!empty($_POST['data']))
    {
        $data = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['data']);
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_data (data) VALUES ('$data')");
    }
?>
<form name="grezvahfvfnjuvavatovgpu" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="data" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Solution

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""HackThisSite Extended Basic 7 (playit) live solver.

The level prints a tiny PHP page and asks for the one line that carries both a
bug and a vulnerability:

    <form name="grezvahfvfnjuvavatovgpu" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="get">

* vuln: ``$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']`` is echoed raw into the ``action`` attribute, so
  a path like ``/x.php/"><script>alert(1)</script>`` is reflected as markup and
  becomes XSS.  ``htmlspecialchars()`` fixes it.
* bug: the form submits with ``method="get"`` while the handler only reads
  ``$_POST['data']``, so the INSERT never runs.  ``method="post"`` fixes it.

The corrected line is posted to ``/missions/extbasic/template.php`` together with
the per-load ``formkey`` and ``lvl``.  A ``Referer`` pointing at the level page is
mandatory, otherwise the endpoint answers ``Invalid Referer`` and the attempt does
not count.  The session cookie comes from ``HTS_COOKIE`` and is never persisted.
