Popping a shell on the Oculus developer portal

Published

It's not every day you find a CSRF-RCE, where sending an admin to a malicious webpage gives you a shell on their server, but that's what I discovered while exploring the security of the Oculus developer portal. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Oculus, known best for their Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, was founded in 2012 and quickly grew, raising over $2 million through Kickstarter for their first VR development kit, the DK1. Development continued towards the DK2, and in March 2014 Facebook announced that they would acquire Oculus VR for $2 billion, placing the Oculus websites in scope of the Facebook whitehat bug bounty programme in August 2014. That's when I decided to take a look.


Tesla Motors blind SQL injection

Published

Tesla Motors are cool. Founded by Elon Musk of PayPal and SpaceX fame, they design, build and sell next generation electric cars, which with the right infrastructure could help mitigate global warming and improve the quality of life in general. I'm into that, so when they launched a security responsible disclosure programme I took a look.

Tesla make extensive use of Drupal with a handful of plugins, and security is pretty tight. With a few hours poking around I'd covered most of the site and found a few XSS vulnerabilities, a couple of which were hard to exploit, and an easier to exploit vector in a non-Drupal script I found referenced in a commented out link.
