Vampire
Bypass "str_replace"
Code
<?php
include "./config.php";
login_chk();
$db = dbconnect();
if(preg_match('/\'/i', $_GET[id])) exit("No Hack ~_~");
$_GET[id] = strtolower($_GET[id]);
$_GET[id] = str_replace("admin","",$_GET[id]);
$query = "select id from prob_vampire where id='{$_GET[id]}'";
echo "<hr>query : <strong>{$query}</strong><hr><br>";
$result = @mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($db,$query));
if($result['id'] == 'admin') solve("vampire");
highlight_file(__FILE__);
?>Line 6: Uses strtolower to convert to lower-case
Line 7: Uses str_replace to replace the string "admin" with an empty value.
Line 8: Query is set to obtain user-supplied input and assign it to the "id" parameter.
Line 11: If "id" is equal to "admin", the challenge will be solved.
Query
SELECT id FROM prob_vampire WHERE id=''Testing
Vulnerable parameter is "id".
str_replace as it's used on line 6 strips the string "admin" from whatever value is supplied to $_GET[id].
If the supplied value were "administrator" the resulting value after str_replace would be "istrator".
By supplying a value of "admiadminn" the result will become "admin" and solve the challenge.
Effective Query
SELECT id FROM prob_vampire WHERE id='admin'Last updated
