OWASP SKF Session Hijacking through XSS

A Flask application (login admin/admin) that stores a message per user and renders it unescaped. Its session cookie is not HttpOnly.

Not startedDockercommit 2f3e7d5x86_64 · aarch64Secret

Objective

Use a stored cross-site scripting payload to steal the session cookie and hijack the user's session.

The brief for this lab lives in its repository.

Submit evidenceSecret

Launch the lab

Open it in the Cyber CTF launcher, or run it yourself with Docker Compose.

Open in the launcher Source code

›Run it manually

$git clone https://github.com/CyberCTF/skf-session-hijacking-xss && cd skf-session-hijacking-xss && docker compose up -d

Without the launcher, the lab uses its public development evidence: great for practice, but it won't complete the lab.
