solved labs status not updated

salsabila | Last updated: Jul 24, 2024 10:16AM UTC

hello , I have been using your website in the last few months and i haven't encountered a similar problem until the past couple of weeks .When I solve a lab , it takes a long period of time to update the status to "lab solved" (I once spent the whole night thinking that I made some kind of a mistake , but it just updated in the morning by itself -Lab: CSRF where token validation depends on token being present-) . I am still having the same problem now with the first WebSockets vulnerabilities lab and I would like to know what the problem exactly is . Thank you for your help !

Hi Salsabila, Just to clarify, you are referring to the lab 'Manipulating WebSocket messages to exploit vulnerabilities' is that correct?

hello , yes I am referring to that lab . I am sure I solved it because I got an alert on my browser ( both the burp chromium browser and firefox).

Hi Salsabila, I have just run through that particular lab and been able to solve it instantly using the written solution provided - are you intercepting the Websocket request and then altering it before, ultimately, sending it to the destination server?

Hello again , I followed the steps given in the provided solution , I got an alert in my browser , and the lab's status is still not updated (it's been a day and a half since the first attempt !), reading through some other posts , I noticed that I am not the only one having this issue . what could possibly be causing this delay ?
