Abstract:
Hacking a Hackathon
All modern software, but the most trivial one, relies on common libraries to perform routine work. Your software may be bastion of security, exhaustively tested and evaluated, but once a vulnerability is discovered in a library you depend on, all bets are off. These large and pervasive vulnerabilities quickly become popular targets, exploited by everybody from script kiddies, to professional hackers, to state actors. It is no surprise that the use of vulnerable libraries is included in the OWASP Top 10 list. The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) lists patching operating systems and applications as two of their top four strategies to mitigate security incidents!
During a recent hacking game, we've identified and exploited a vulnerability not anticipated by the developers. One little crack in a widely used library gave us the footing we needed to construct an attack chain of remote code execution, file upload, data exfil, source code disassembly, and branching into a private network, all despite extremely high level of hardening on the target from unintended attacks. We'll share with you how a safe and fun library exploitation can be in the confines of a hacking game, and how there are serious implications for your corporate applications where the stakes are much higher.
