Have you tried my december XSS challenge? The solution's public now in this writeup! It includes two vulnerabilities in CodeIgniter that abuse the cache storage format and bypass its builtin XSS filter. Merry Christmas! 🎄

⚠️Challenge time again⚠️ It is based on a real-world situation. Use the HTML injection to leak the flag to an external domain ☃️ This time, send solutions in DM; we don't want to spoil the fun. I also might want to patch any obvious blunder I made creating it joaxcar.com/xss/outer.ht...

This is really great research by @ryotak.net - I appreciated that he covered some of his experiments along the way, and how he landed on a finely tuned way of finding a 12-char hash collision with a command injection payload at the end. flatt.tech/research/pos...

Awesome research! It's always crazy how many vulnerabilities you can still find by just reading RFCs 🔥
