Challenge Overview

SSRFurnace, a premier online archive dedicated to the study and preservation of ancient metallurgical techniques and furnace designs, has recently expanded its functionality to dynamically display documents and historical data from various linked archives and partner institutions. A penetration tester is assigned to assess the security of this integration, specifically focusing on how the platform retrieves and presents this interconnected content. The target machine is running Ubuntu OS with the IP address 10.10.2.112. Your objective is to identify vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized information disclosure, access to internal backend systems, or administrative control over the SSRFurnace platform.

What You Will Learn

  • Identifying exposed services, endpoints, and hidden functionalities of the web application hosted on the target server.
  • Exploiting Server-Side Request Forgery to access internal resources that are not directly exposed externally.
  • Leveraging SSRF to interact with internal services such as MySQL and extract sensitive data.
  • Retrieving database credentials and reusing them to authenticate into external and internal administrative panels.
  • Gaining deeper access across different system layers (web app + internal services) to retrieve multiple flags and demonstrate full compromise.
