Broken Object Level Authorization - Workshop - Mechanic Report (Unauthenticated)

Vulnerability

[PASS] Broken Object Level Authorization - Workshop - Mechanic Report (Unauthenticated)

Description

Tested access to the mechanic_report endpoint without authentication.

Impact

No impact: the server requires authentication and rejects the request (401).

CWE

CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function (tested, not vulnerable on this path)

OWASP

API1:2023 - Broken Object Level Authorization (negative test - unauthenticated path)

Scenario

Normal: read a report with a token -> 200. Exploitation: remove the token -> 401. PASS (authentication control holds).

Endpoint

GET http://127.0.0.1:8888/workshop/api/mechanic/mechanic_report?report_id={id}

Affected feature

Mechanic Service Report (crapi-workshop)

Remediation

Keep the authentication requirement; add object ownership verification (see the related [FAIL] finding).

Proof of concept

1. (Screenshot 1) NORMAL: GET mechanic_report?report_id=1 with a token -> 200.
2. (Screenshot 2) EXPLOITATION: resend WITHOUT the Authorization header -> 401 (authentication control holds).

The complete record

LAB All targets are lab systems. Nothing here is a client engagement. Evidence is shown as recorded; secrets are blacked out.

Normal: report with a token (authenticated)

Normal flow: reading the mechanic report with a valid token returns 200.
