OWASP Juice Shop - Detailed Vulnerability Descriptions ✦

Sensitive data exposure occurs when an application or system does not adequately protect
confidential or private information.
This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse of sensitive data such as
personal identifiers, financial information,
or proprietary business details. Ensuring robust data protection measures, including encryption,
access controls, and regular audits,
is crucial in safeguarding against such vulnerabilities.

1. Confidential Document ✦
Description: Access a confidential document containing sensitive information such as financial
records, personal data, or proprietary business information.

Impact: Sensitive information exposure can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and
reputational damage. It may be exploited through inadequate access controls, lack of
encryption, or weak security policies.

Severity: High

Remediation: Implement strict access controls, encrypt sensitive documents, regularly audit
permissions, and educate employees on data security best practices.

2. NFT Takeover ✦
Description: Take over the wallet containing an official Soul Bound Token (NFT), potentially
leading to the loss of digital assets and intellectual property.

Impact: Exploiting weak authentication mechanisms or vulnerabilities in the digital wallet

infrastructure can lead to unauthorized access and asset theft.

Severity: Critical

Remediation: Use multi-factor authentication, monitor digital asset transactions, employ secure
key management, and regularly update wallet software to patch vulnerabilities.

3. Forgotten Developer Backup ✦

Description: Access a developer's forgotten backup file that may contain source code, sensitive
data, or configuration files.

Impact: Such exposure can lead to intellectual property theft, unauthorized system access, or
further exploitation of embedded credentials or configurations.
Severity: High

Remediation: Secure all backups with encryption, store them in protected environments, and
ensure regular audits to avoid forgotten or unsecured backups.

4. Misplaced Token ✦
Description: Access a misplaced SIEM signature file, potentially revealing sensitive information
about security monitoring and incident response processes.

Impact: An attacker could use this information to bypass or evade detection, compromising the
security of the entire system.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Restrict access to SIEM configurations and logs, ensure secure storage, and
implement strong access controls and monitoring.

5. Retrieve Blueprint ✦
Description: Download the blueprint for one of the shop's products, which may contain
proprietary design or manufacturing details.

Impact: Unauthorized access to proprietary information can lead to competitive disadvantages

and intellectual property theft.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Protect intellectual property with encryption, access controls, and by limiting
access to essential personnel only.

6. Exposed Metrics ✦
Description: Find the endpoint that serves usage data to be scraped by a popular monitoring
tool, exposing potentially sensitive operational data.

Impact: This exposure could be used for reconnaissance in a targeted attack or to gain insights
into the system's behavior and performance.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Secure endpoints with proper authentication, encrypt sensitive data, and regularly
review endpoint security.

7. Visual Geo Stalking ✦

Description: Determine the answer to a security question by analyzing uploaded images, which
can be used to reset passwords.
Impact: Exploiting personal information from images can lead to unauthorized account access
and further exploitation.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Use non-trivial security questions, limit personal information exposure, and
educate users about the risks of sharing sensitive data online.

8. Forgotten Sales Backup ✦

Description: Access a salesman's forgotten backup file containing sensitive sales data, customer
information, or financial records.

Impact: Such data exposure can lead to data breaches, identity theft, or financial fraud.

Severity: High

Remediation: Securely store backups, enforce access controls, and regularly review and clean up
old or unnecessary backups.

9. Reset Uvogin's Password ✦

Description: Reset a user's password using a security question, which may be easily guessed or
discovered through social engineering.

Impact: Weak password recovery processes can lead to unauthorized access and account
compromise.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Implement stronger authentication methods, use more secure questions, and
provide users with guidance on choosing secure recovery options.

10. Login MC SafeSearch ✦

Description: Log in with MC SafeSearch’s original credentials without using SQL Injection,
indicating a potential lack of password security.

Impact: Weak or default credentials can be easily guessed or brute-forced, leading to

unauthorized access.

Severity: High

Remediation: Enforce strong password policies, use multi-factor authentication, and regularly
change default credentials.

11. Login Amy ✦

Description: Log in with Amy's credentials, potentially vulnerable to brute force attacks due to
weak or predictable passwords.
Impact: Weak passwords can be easily guessed or brute-forced, compromising account security.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Implement strong password policies, use rate limiting, and consider multi-factor
authentication to secure accounts.

12. GDPR Data Theft ✦

Description: Steal personal data without using Injection, potentially violating data protection
regulations like GDPR.

Impact: Data breaches involving personal information can lead to legal penalties, financial
losses, and reputational damage.

Severity: High

Remediation: Ensure compliance with data protection regulations, encrypt personal data, and
monitor for unauthorized access.

13. Email Leak ✦

Description: Perform an unwanted information disclosure by accessing data cross-domain,
potentially revealing sensitive user information.

Impact: Cross-domain data leaks can expose sensitive information to unauthorized parties,
leading to privacy violations and security risks.

Severity: High

Remediation: Implement strict cross-domain policies, secure data access controls, and monitor
for unauthorized data sharing.

14. Meta Geo Stalking ✦

Description: Use uploaded photos to answer security questions and reset passwords, exploiting
personal information for account compromise.

Impact: Using personal information for security questions can be risky, especially if that
information is publicly available.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Choose security questions that do not rely on easily accessible information, and
educate users on safeguarding personal data.

15. Access Log ✦

Description: Gain access to an access log file, which may contain sensitive information about
system activity and user behavior.
Impact: Access logs can reveal insights into system configurations, user activity, and potential
vulnerabilities.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Secure access to logs, implement encryption, and ensure proper monitoring and
auditing of log files.

16. Leaked Unsafe Product ✦

Description: Identify and report an unsafe product removed from the shop, potentially causing
harm if it remains accessible.

Impact: Continuing to sell or distribute unsafe products can lead to legal liabilities and harm to
customers.

Severity: Medium

Remediation: Regularly review product safety, ensure proper product recalls, and maintain up-
to-date product information.

17. Leaked Access Logs ✦

Description: Dumpster dive the Internet for a leaked password and log into the original user
account, exploiting exposed credentials.

Impact: Exposed credentials can be used to gain unauthorized access, potentially leading to data
breaches and further exploitation.

Severity: Critical

Remediation: Monitor for leaked credentials, enforce strong password policies, and educate
users about secure password practices.
