Vulnerable-API - The Vulnerable API Python Application is a purpose

项目说明

API Python Application

This project is an intentionally API-based Python application that uses Flask, Jinja, and SQLite3. It has been deliberately designed with multiple , including XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), SQLi (SQL Injection), HHI (HTTP Header Injection), LFI (Local File Inclusion), RFI (Remote File Inclusion), and SSTI (Ser Template Injection). The purpose of this project is to provide a playground for educational purposes and to test and understand automated API scanners and security testing tools.

Disclaimer: This project should only be used in a controlled en and for educational purposes. Do not deploy it in a production en or expose it to the public as it can be used to exploit and damage systems if not handled responsibly.

Setup Instructions

Install the required Python packages:

Run the application:

The application contains the following :

1. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

The application is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting attacks. These occur when un user inputs are rendered directly in the HTML page, allowing malicious scripts to be executed in the context of the website.

2. SQL Injection (SQLi)

The application is to SQL Injection attacks. SQLi occurs when user-supplied data is not properly sanitized or , allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database.

3. HOST Header Injection (HHI)

The application is to HOST Header Injection attacks. This allows an attacker to inject malicious HOST headers, potentially leading to security issues like cache poisoning or cross-site scripting.

4. Local File Inclusion (LFI)

The application is susceptible to Local File Inclusion attacks. This allows an attacker to include and execute local files on the server, potentially exposing sensiti or executing arbitrary code.

5. Remote File Inclusion (RFI)

The application is to Remote File Inclusion attacks. RFI occurs when user-supplied input is used to include remote files from external servers, leading to potential code execution and unauthorized access.

6. Ser Template Injection (SSTI)

The application is prone to Ser Template Injection attacks. SSTI occurs when user input is used directly in ser templates, potentially leading to code execution on the server.
