CVE-2020-35848 is a NoSQL injection vulnerability in Agentejo Cockpit before version 0.11.2, specifically in the Controller/Auth.php newpassword function. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary NoSQL queries via crafted input to the /auth/newpassword endpoint, due to insufficient input sanitization and lack of type checking in the authentication logic. This enables attackers to manipulate database queries and extract sensitive information such as password reset tokens and user account data.

This repository provides a comprehensive exploitation lab for CVE-2020-35848, a critical NoSQL injection vulnerability in Agentejo Cockpit CMS versions prior to 0.11.2. The repository contains three files: a LICENSE, a README.md with detailed vulnerability and exploitation information, and a Bash script (build.sh) that automates the exploitation process. The script targets a local or lab instance of Cockpit CMS (default URL: http://ctf-lab.local), performing the following steps: triggers a password reset for the admin user, exploits the NoSQL injection in the /auth/newpassword endpoint to extract a reset token, resets the admin password, logs in as admin, and retrieves a web application flag. The exploit demonstrates the full attack chain, including enumeration, token exfiltration, and privilege escalation. No hardcoded credentials or fake payloads are present; the script is operational and demonstrates real exploitation steps. The endpoints targeted are all HTTP API endpoints of Cockpit CMS, and the attack vector is network-based. The repository is suitable for lab demonstration and training purposes.
