#No email verification required when we change email from settings

Hello Team,

Issue:
When we try to signup with an email, it asks us for clicking a email validation link which is sent to our email, then we have to login, without clicking that link, we cannot login, but when we change email from user settings page/edit settings page, it doesn't asks us for validation..

Impact:
For example, a user creates an account with his email (user@example.com) and verifies it using the link which has been sent to his email, as he/she have access to user@example.com, but next he goes to settings and in email change mechanism, he can put any email like (president@whitehouse.gov) and no verification is required, and the user can login with that email and access his account with the email president@whitehouse.gov, and do some abusive or not good activities and the company will be blamed!

New steps to reproduce:
Go to profile settings
Enter any email
Submit settings → Account will be accessible without verification!

How to fix?
Email verification/validation should be required when a user changed email from user settings page..
I hope you'll fix it soon.

Thank You,

Waleed Anwar

# Summary:
The discovered vulnerability allows for the bypass of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) mechanisms through the exploitation of leaked cookies. By intercepting and utilizing these cookies, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts without the need for the second authentication factor, compromising the security of the system.

# Steps To Reproduce:
1.Navigate to the account settings and enable 2FA.
2.Log out and log back in using valid credentials.
3.Enter the required 2FA code to proceed.
4.Export session cookies using a cookie editor tool.
5.Paste the copied cookies into another browser
6 Access the account without providing the 2FA code,2FA Authentication bypassed.

# Mitigation:
Introduce device-based Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) mechanisms that require additional verification steps when signing in from new or unrecognized devices, browsers, or locations. This adds an extra layer of security by verifying the identity of the user and the device being used for authentication.

# Impact:
The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) mechanisms by stealing and utilizing session cookies obtained through various means, such as man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks using tools like Evilginx2. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can gain unauthorized access to user accounts without the need for the second authentication factor, compromising the security of the system and potentially leading to unauthorized data access, fraudulent transactions, or other malicious activities.

# Insecure Cache-Control Leading to View Email and Password in https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1.

Hello Team, I hope you are doing well. While, Researching in your domain I found Insecure Cache-Control Leading to View Email and Password in https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1.

# Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login to https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1.
2. Visit every Pages in https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1 after the login.
3. Logout from the account.
4. Click Back Button 9 to 10 times.
5. You can get your email and password in the Login form. ( Toggle to See the Password)

# Impact:

In a PC scenario in an office or in a library or in a coffee shop or such places allow for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability (since the amount of pages visited after visiting doesn't matter). Also it is very easy to get access to a laptop, so this is a likable scenario, and once it happens the attacker has full control over the victim's app data since he/she can use the account.

# Note:

Tested in Chrome latest version, Mobile Device.
Doesn't exploitable in FireFox.

#PHP info page disclosure

Hello Team, I hope you are doing well. While Researching on your domain, I found PHP info page disclosure.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Ping www.alwaysdata.net
2.Found 185.31.40.5
3.Next thing I did was a Whois request on that domain to find the Netrange of this IP Address.
inetnum: 185.31.40.0 - 185.31.40.255
netname: ALWAYSDATA-PARIS1
country: FR
admin-c: ALWS1-RIPE
tech-c: ALWS1-RIPE
status: ASSIGNED PA
mnt-by: ALWAYSDATA
created: 2024-09-24T12:04:24Z
last-modified: 2024-09-24T12:04:24Z
source: RIPE

4.Then I wrote a bash script to find Sensitive Data on IP Address.
#!/bin/bash
for ipa in 185.3{1..0}.{40..255}.{0..255}; do
wget -t 1 -T 5 http://${ipa}/phpinfo.php; done &
and yes the result was the one i’ve found above.

5. I found http://185.31.41.136/phpinfo.php

An attacker can obtain information such as:
Exact PHP version.
Exact OS and its version.
Details of the PHP configuration.
Internal IP addresses.
Server environment variables.
Loaded PHP extensions and their configurations and etc.

Impact
This information can help an attacker gain more information on the system. After gaining detailed information, the attacker can research known vulnerabilities for that system under review. The attacker can also use this information during the exploitation of other vulnerabilities.

Hi Team,

I found a rate limit bypass in reset password endpoint.

If we send the following POST:

POST /password/lost/ HTTP/2
Host: admin.alwaysdata.com
Cookie: csrftoken=xxxxxxxx………………; django_language=en
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br

Sec-Fetch-Mode: navigate
Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin
Sec-Fetch-User: ?1
Priority: u=0, i
Te: trailers

csrfmiddlewaretoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx…………………..&email=example%40gmail.com

Now send the request around ~50 times and it'll hit "Too Many Requests". Now simply add %00 on the end of the email and resend even more password reset emails.
&email=example%40gmail.com%00 - and keep adding %00 everytime you are rate limited. After a while you can go back to just %00 as it resets after so long.

No real impact with just mass emailing someone a reset password link, but I thought it was worth reporting because the rate limiting bypass might exist in other areas (with the use of the null byte %00)

Thank You,

Missing rate limit for current password field (Password Change) Account Takeover:

Vulnerability:
Missing Rate Limit for Current Password field (Password Change) Account Takeover
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1)Go to Profile > Password. Enter any (wrong password) In old password filed.
2)Now enter the new password and Turn the Intercept ON.
3)Capture the request & Send the request to Intruder and add a Payload Marker on the current password value.
4)Add the payload for the password field having a list of more than 100 password or more for test and start attack.
BOOM!
Screen shot is attached as a proof of concept.
Impact
There is no rate limit enabled for "Current Password" field on changing password on your website. A malicious minded user can continually tries to brute force an account password. If user forget to logout account in some public computer then attacker is able to know the correct password, and also able to change the password to new one by inputting large number of payloads.

Unveiling an IDOR Vulnerability in Email Verification Workflows:

Hello Team, I hope you are doing well. Well, i found a idor vuln in email verification workflow in your doamin.

The Vulnerability
1. Step 1: Create an Account with a Fake Email (Email 1)
Like many web services, the platform I was testing does not required users to verify their email addresses upon registration. I created an account using a random, unverified email address, let’s call it email1@example.com.

2. Step 2: Change the Email Address to a New One (Email 2)
Next, I went to the account settings and attempted to change the email address to a new one, email2@example.com, without verifying email1@example.com. The system allowed me to enter a new email.

3. Step 3: IDOR Exploitation
Here’s where things got interesting. I can use email2@example.com without any verification or any notification which was not sent to that email2@example.com for verification. But due to an IDOR vulnerability, the system skipped this step entirely and automatically considered email2@example.com as verified

This meant that I, as an attacker, could verify someone else’s email (Email 2) that I had no control over, effectively gaining control of that account’s new email without ever needing access to it.

The Impact
This IDOR vulnerability presents significant risks, including:

Account Takeover: By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can hijack accounts by swapping the victim’s email with one of their own.
Phishing and Fraud: Attackers could use the new email to perform phishing attacks, tricking users into divulging sensitive information.
Loss of Control: Users might lose control over their accounts since the new email is verified without their knowledge or consent.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability lies in the system’s failure to validate the ownership of the new email address before considering it verified. Once the first email is verified, the system should force a re-verification of any newly entered email addresses to prevent this kind of exploitation.

How to Prevent It
Here are a few recommendations to mitigate this type of IDOR vulnerability:

Re-verify New Emails: Ensure that when users attempt to change their email addresses, the new email must be verified before it becomes active.
Strict Access Control: Always implement strong access controls to ensure that a user cannot modify objects (in this case, email IDs) they do not own.
Thorough Input Validation: Validate user inputs and ensure proper checks for email ownership before performing any sensitive actions.
Security Audits: Regularly conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify potential IDOR vulnerabilities and other security flaws.

Email Enumeration:

Hello Team, I hope you are doing well. Well, researching on your domain, i found email enumeration in your domain.

Steps:

1.log in admin.alwaysdata.com account go to Profile.
2.choose change my email
3.enter your pass
4.enter any email you want to check
5.if the email isn't registered a message appears saying(the email is changed.)
6.if it is registered the message appearing is( There is already a profile with this email.)

BY automating the process you can easily enumerate users emails . what is the impact : 1.Mass password reset requests to registered users(spam) 2.imagine a new company like alwysdata want to advertise it will easily enumerate emails of alwaysdata and send the customers emails to convince them to join their company and leave circle this may cause you to loose some of your customers(targeted advertising through alwaysdata database) . there are other impact but those are most severe.

Here is the fix:
when a user try to assign an email that is already registered to your accounts tell him that (An error has occured)or(we have sent a verification email to your email address)or anything not revealing he is registered to you .
Here is the POC:
i have carried the attack on sample of 8845 emails to avoid server overload
the result is by using burpsuite i can bruteforce the change email feature and enumerate users by the status in intruder attack:
200—>Not registered and can be added
500—>registered and error message
400—> this is invalid email because for example it doesn't have @ sign in it

A password reset page does not properly validate the authenticity token at the server side.

1. Go to https://admin.alwaysdata.com/password/lost/ and request a new password.
2. Go to email, and click on the link.
3. Put the new password, submit and intercept the request; remove the authenticity token from the request and now forward it to the server.
you will see request still got completed, its shows token invalid in the browser but you can refresh the page and you see that user is logged in with new password.

Thanks,

Waleed Anwar
