Hi @eeche

Thanks

Hi @DhiyaneshGeek

Thanks for the update! The changes look good.

However, Dash does not use /update for POST requests by default.

I modified it to use the Dash callback route instead, and now everything works as expected.

Thanks

Looking forward to hear back from you

Thanks

Hi @DhiyaneshGeek

You can set up a vulnerable environment using the following Dash application code

Thanks

from dash import Dash, html, dcc, Input, Output

app = Dash(__name__)

# Layout containing a vulnerable link
app.layout = html.Div([
    html.H1("Vulnerable Dash Application"),
    
    # Text field for user input
    dcc.Input(
        id='link-input',
        type='text',
        placeholder='Enter a link'
    ),
    
    # Area to display the entered link
    html.Div(id='link-output'),
    
    # Simulated stored data
    html.Div([
        html.H3("Sensitive User Data"),
        html.P("Cookie: " + "sensitive_cookie_value"),
        html.P("Token: " + "user_access_token_123")
    ])
])

# Callback: Process the entered link
@app.callback(
    Output('link-output', 'children'),
    Input('link-input', 'value')
)
def update_link(value):
    if value is None:
        return ''
    # Vulnerable part: Using user input directly in href
    return html.A('Click here', href=value)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True)
