DVWA 通关指南：Insecure CAPTCHA (不安全的验证流程)
Insecure CAPTCHA (不安全的验证流程)
A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. You've probably seen them - colourful images with distorted text at the bottom of Web registration forms. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots", or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.
CAPTCHA (验证码)是一个程序，它可以判断访问网页的用户是人还是机器人，我们在生活中经常需要输入，例如在网页注册表格底部有扭曲文字的彩色图片。许多网站都使用验证码来防止“机器人程序”或通常用来生成垃圾邮件的自动程序的滥用。没有一个计算机程序能够像人类一样读取失真的文本，因此机器人程序无法导航受验证码保护的站点。
CAPTCHAs are often used to protect sensitive functionality from automated bots. Such functionality typically includes user registration and changes, password changes, and posting content. In this example, the CAPTCHA is guarding the change password functionality for the user account. This provides limited protection from CSRF attacks as well as automated bot guessing.
验证码通常用于保护敏感功能免受自动机器人的攻击，该功能通常在用户注册和更改、密码更改和发布内容中使用。在本例中，验证码保护用户帐户的更改密码功能，这对 CSRF 攻击和爆破等攻击提供了有限的保护。
Your aim, change the current user's password in a automated manner because of the poor CAPTCHA system.
你的目标是更改当前用户的密码，因为使用的验证码的验证流程很差。
- 注意 DVWA 验证码使用的是 Google 提供 reCAPTCHA 服务，我们暂时使用不了该服务，这个对实验没有任何影响，因为我们根本不会去动验证码而是直接绕过。
验证码
验证码（CAPTCHA）是“Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”（全自动区分计算机和人类的图灵测试）的缩写，是一种区分用户是计算机还是人的公共全自动程序。可以防止：恶意破解密码、刷票、论坛灌水，有效防止某个黑客对某一个特定注册用户用特定程序暴力破解方式进行不断的登陆尝试，实际上用验证码是现在很多网站通行的方式，我们利用比较简易的方式实现了这个功能。这个问题可以由计算机生成并评判，但是必须只有人类才能解答。由于计算机无法解答 CAPTCHA 的问题，所以回答出问题的用户就可以被认为是人类。推荐一个 B 站视频——验证码不光可以白嫖人们的智力，没准还侵犯你的隐私。
Low Level
The issue with this CAPTCHA is that it is easily bypassed. The developer has made the assumption that all users will progress through screen 1, complete the CAPTCHA, and then move on to the next screen where the password is actually updated. By submitting the new password directly to the change page, the user may bypass the CAPTCHA system.
这个验证码的问题是它很容易被绕过，开发人员假设所有用户都将进入屏幕 1 输入验证码，然后转到下一个用于更新密码的页面。通过直接将新密码提交到更改页面，用户可以绕过验证码系统。
源码审计
源码有点小长，根据源码的逻辑判断修改密码被分成了 2 个步骤。首先是使用 recaptcha_check_answer() 函数检查用户输入的验证码，验证通过后服务器返回表单。接着用户使用提交 post 方法提交修改的密码，服务器完成更改密码的操作。注意到服务器仅检查 Change、step 参数来判断用户是否通过了验证，而区分 2 个步骤使用的 step 参数是我们可控的。
<?php
if(isset($_POST['Change']) && ($_POST['step'] == '1')){
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST['password_new'];
$pass_conf = $_POST['password_conf'];
// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
$_DVWA['recaptcha_private_key'],
$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
);
// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
if(!$resp) {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
$html .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
return;
}
else {
// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
if($pass_new == $pass_conf){
// Show next stage for the user
echo "
<pre><br />You passed the CAPTCHA! Click the button to confirm your changes.<br /></pre>
<form action=\"#\" method=\"POST\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"2\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_new\" value=\"{$pass_new}\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_conf\" value=\"{$pass_conf}\" />
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Change\" value=\"Change\" />
</form>";
}
else {
// Both new passwords do not match.
$html .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
}
}
}
if(isset($_POST['Change']) && ($_POST['step'] == '2')){
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST['password_new'];
$pass_conf = $_POST['password_conf'];
// Check to see if both password match
if($pass_new == $pass_conf) {
// They do!
$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_new = md5($pass_new);
// Update database
$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "';";
$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );
// Feedback for the end user
echo "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
}
else {
// Issue with the passwords matching
echo "<pre>Passwords did not match.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
}
((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}
?>
攻击方式
直接抓包，然后修改 step 变量值为 2 表示验证码已经验证成功，放包绕过。
Medium Level
The developer has attempted to place state around the session and keep track of whether the user successfully completed the CAPTCHA prior to submitting data. Because the state variable (Spoiler: passed_captcha) is on the client side, it can also be manipulated by the attacker like so:“?step=2&password_new=password&password_conf=password&passed_captcha=true&Change=Change.”
开发人员试图在会话中设置状态变量，并跟踪用户在提交数据之前是否成功地完成了验证码。因为状态变量（passed_captcha）位于客户端，因此攻击者也可以对其进行绕过操作。
源码审计
Medium 级别的代码在 step = 2 的状态时，添加了对参数 passed_captcha 的检查。若这个参数值为 true，则认为用户已经通过了验证码检查。
<?php
if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '1' ) ) {
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];
// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
);
// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
if( !$resp ) {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
$html .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
return;
}
else {
// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
// Show next stage for the user
echo "
<pre><br />You passed the CAPTCHA! Click the button to confirm your changes.<br /></pre>
<form action=\"#\" method=\"POST\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"2\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_new\" value=\"{$pass_new}\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"password_conf\" value=\"{$pass_conf}\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"passed_captcha\" value=\"true\" />
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Change\" value=\"Change\" />
</form>";
}
else {
// Both new passwords do not match.
$html .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
}
}
}
if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) && ( $_POST[ 'step' ] == '2' ) ) {
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];
// Check to see if they did stage 1
if( !$_POST[ 'passed_captcha' ] ) {
$html .= "<pre><br />You have not passed the CAPTCHA.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
return;
}
// Check to see if both password match
if( $pass_new == $pass_conf ) {
// They do!
$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );
// Update database
$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "';";
$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );
// Feedback for the end user
echo "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
}
else {
// Issue with the passwords matching
echo "<pre>Passwords did not match.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
}
((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}
?>
攻击方式
这并没有什么用，因为 passed_captcha 同样是可控的。我们直接抓包，然后添加个 “&passed_captcha=true” 即可。
High Level
There has been development code left in, which was never removed in production. It is possible to mimic the development values, to allow invalid values in be placed into the CAPTCHA field.
有些开发时的废弃代码遗留在页面中，在网页上线后从未删除过。因此可以模拟这些代码中的变量，允许将无效值注入验证码字段。
You will need to spoof your user-agent (reCAPTCHA) as well as use the CAPTCHA value of (hidd3n_valu3) to skip the check.
您需要欺骗您的用户代理（reCAPTCHA）以及使用 CAPTCHA 值（hidd3n_valu3）来绕过检查。
源码审计
源码如下，high 级别的验证是 resp（谷歌验证码返回的结果）是 false，并且参数 g-recaptcha-response 不等于 hidd3n_valu3 或 http 包头的 User-Agent 参数不等于 reCAPTCHA 时认为验证码输入错误，反之则认为已经通过了验证码的检查。
<?php
if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) ) {
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];
// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
);
if (
$resp || (
$_POST[ 'g-recaptcha-response' ] == 'hidd3n_valu3'
&& $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_USER_AGENT' ] == 'reCAPTCHA'
)
){
// CAPTCHA was correct. Do both new passwords match?
if ($pass_new == $pass_conf) {
$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );
// Update database
$insert = "UPDATE `users` SET password = '$pass_new' WHERE user = '" . dvwaCurrentUser() . "' LIMIT 1;";
$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $insert ) or die( '<pre>' . ((is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_error($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) : (($___mysqli_res = mysqli_connect_error()) ? $___mysqli_res : false)) . '</pre>' );
// Feedback for user
echo "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
} else {
// Ops. Password mismatch
$html .= "<pre>Both passwords must match.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
}
} else {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
$html .= "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
return;
}
((is_null($___mysqli_res = mysqli_close($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]))) ? false : $___mysqli_res);
}
// Generate Anti-CSRF token
generateSessionToken();
?>
攻击方式
参数 g-recaptcha-response 和 User-Agent 头都是可控的，抓包修改后放包即可绕过。
Impossible Level
In the impossible level, the developer has removed all avenues of attack. The process has been simplified so that data and CAPTCHA verification occurs in one single step. Alternatively, the developer could have moved the state variable server side (from the medium level), so the user cannot alter it.
在不可能等级上，开发者已经移除了所有的攻击途径。修改密码的过程已被简化，以便数据和验证码验证在一个单一步骤中进行。开发人员也可以将状态变量 server-side（从中等级别）移走，这样用户就不能修改它。
?php
if( isset( $_POST[ 'Change' ] ) ) {
// Check Anti-CSRF token
checkToken( $_REQUEST[ 'user_token' ], $_SESSION[ 'session_token' ], 'index.php' );
// Hide the CAPTCHA form
$hide_form = true;
// Get input
$pass_new = $_POST[ 'password_new' ];
$pass_new = stripslashes( $pass_new );
$pass_new = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_new ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_new = md5( $pass_new );
$pass_conf = $_POST[ 'password_conf' ];
$pass_conf = stripslashes( $pass_conf );
$pass_conf = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_conf ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_conf = md5( $pass_conf );
$pass_curr = $_POST[ 'password_current' ];
$pass_curr = stripslashes( $pass_curr );
$pass_curr = ((isset($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"]) && is_object($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"])) ? mysqli_real_escape_string($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $pass_curr ) : ((trigger_error("[MySQLConverterToo] Fix the mysql_escape_string() call! This code does not work.", E_USER_ERROR)) ? "" : ""));
$pass_curr = md5( $pass_curr );
// Check CAPTCHA from 3rd party
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(
$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ],
$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
);
// Did the CAPTCHA fail?
if( !$resp ) {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
echo "<pre><br />The CAPTCHA was incorrect. Please try again.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
return;
}
else {
// Check that the current password is correct
$data = $db->prepare( 'SELECT password FROM users WHERE user = (:user) AND password = (:password) LIMIT 1;' );
$data->bindParam( ':user', dvwaCurrentUser(), PDO::PARAM_STR );
$data->bindParam( ':password', $pass_curr, PDO::PARAM_STR );
$data->execute();
// Do both new password match and was the current password correct?
if( ( $pass_new == $pass_conf) && ( $data->rowCount() == 1 ) ) {
// Update the database
$data = $db->prepare( 'UPDATE users SET password = (:password) WHERE user = (:user);' );
$data->bindParam( ':password', $pass_new, PDO::PARAM_STR );
$data->bindParam( ':user', dvwaCurrentUser(), PDO::PARAM_STR );
$data->execute();
// Feedback for the end user - success!
echo "<pre>Password Changed.</pre>";
}
else {
// Feedback for the end user - failed!
echo "<pre>Either your current password is incorrect or the new passwords did not match.<br />Please try again.</pre>";
$hide_form = false;
