2. Executive Summary

The assessment of the Braze developer dashboard (bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com) identified 2 confirmed security findings: 1 Medium and 1 Low. No Critical or High-severity vulnerabilities were identified.

The most significant finding is an active password reset token transmitted in a URL query string (FIND-001). A password reset token (jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz) was captured in a GET request URL and remains active — it was accepted by the /developers/password/edit endpoint and rendered the full password change form. This token could be harvested from browser history, server-side request logs, Referer headers, or any HTTP proxy logs, enabling account takeover.

Additionally, HTTP Response Splitting via CRLF injection was confirmed at the /clusters endpoint (FIND-002). The origin GET parameter is reflected into the HTTP Location header without sanitising CR/LF characters. An attacker can inject %0D%0A sequences to split the HTTP response and potentially inject arbitrary headers or a second response (cache poisoning, XSS).

All other findings are informational in severity and consistent with expected SaaS dashboard behaviour.


3. Scope of Assessment

In-scope targets:

  • bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com — Braze developer dashboard (authentication, password reset, auth flows)
  • bug-bounty-rest.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com — Braze REST API
  • bug-bounty-api.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com — Braze API

Out-of-scope targets (per program scope file):

  • Tags feature endpoints (/tag*)
  • SSRF (per program rule, re-announced separately)
  • CORS on bug-bounty-api.* subdomain

Test environment: Staging/pre-production dev environment (braze-dev.com)

Scope not configured in Burp: A defined target scope was confirmed via the Bambda filter comment within the project options — no explicit includeUrl/excludeUrl scope rules were present. Assessment proceeded against the confirmed bug bounty subdomain targets.

FIND-001 — [MEDIUM] Password Reset Token Transmitted in URL Query String

Field Value
CVSS Score 6.5
CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/U:H/C:L/I:N/A:N
WSTG ID WSTG-CONF-03
Endpoint GET /developers/password/edit?reset_password_token=jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz
Parameter reset_password_token
Validation Method Repeater
Confirmed By Token in URL accepted by server — full password change form rendered

Description

The Braze developer dashboard transmits password reset tokens as URL query string parameters in GET requests. A token was captured from the captured traffic: jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz. Replaying this request confirmed the token is still active — the server responded with HTTP 200 and rendered the full "Change Your Password" form including the valid CSRF token and a hidden input containing the reset token:

<input autocomplete="off" type="hidden"
  value="jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz"
  name="developer[reset_password_token]"
  id="developer_reset_password_token" />

A submit button for "Change My Password" was also rendered, confirming the token is accepted and not revoked.

Impact

Password reset tokens in URL query strings are logged in multiple locations:

  • Browser history — any person with local access to the browser can view the full URL including the token
  • Server-side request logs — web server access logs, application logs, reverse proxy logs (ELK, Splunk, CloudWatch, etc.), and load balancer logs will capture the full URL
  • Referer headers — if the page is linked from any external site, the token is transmitted in the Referer header to the third party
  • Bookmarking / shared links — users may bookmark or forward the URL containing the token
  • HTTP proxies — corporate proxies, intercepting proxies (as demonstrated in this engagement), and cached proxy pages capture the full URL

A passive network observer, a log file attacker, or anyone with access to server logs, browser history, or proxy records can harvest this token and use it to set a new account password, achieving full account takeover. The confirmed liveness of the token means no additional guessing or brute-forcing is required.

Proof of Concept

GET /developers/password/edit?reset_password_token=jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz HTTP/2

[RESPONSE — HTTP 200, token accepted, form rendered]
HTTP/2 200 OK
...
<form ... id="reset-password-form" ...>
  <input type="hidden"
    value="jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz"
    name="developer[reset_password_token]"
    id="developer_reset_password_token" />
  <input type="password"
    name="developer[password]"
    id="developer_password" />
  <input type="password"
    name="developer[password_confirmation]"
    id="developer_password_confirmation" />
  <input type="submit"
    name="commit"
    value="Change My Password"
    id="reset-password-button" />
</form>

Remediation

  • Transmit password reset tokens via a POST body rather than the URL query string. Replace the GET /developers/password/edit?reset_token=XYZ pattern with a POST to /developers/password/edit containing the token in the request body.
  • Add token rotation on use: invalidate the reset token immediately after the first successful password change attempt. The confirmed replay of jPCYbbgiGJoymF1eLfsz indicates the token is not invalidated on first use.
  • Implement short token expiry (15–30 minutes) and single-use semantics for reset tokens.
  • Set Referrer-Policy: no-referrer or strict-origin-when-cross-origin on the password reset page to prevent token leakage via Referer to external links on the same page.

FIND-002 — [MEDIUM] HTTP Response Splitting via CRLF Injection in Redirect Location Header

Field Value
CVSS Score 6.1
CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/L:H/A:N
WSTG ID WSTG-INPV-15
Endpoint POST /clusters
Parameter origin (reflected into Location header)
Validation Method Repeater
Confirmed By CRLF sequence (%0D%0A) in origin param causes physical multi-line HTTP header split

Description

The /clusters endpoint (email-based sign-in step) accepts an origin GET parameter and uses its value to construct a Location redirect header. The parameter value is not sanitised for CR/LF characters before being placed into the HTTP header. When origin contains the URL-encoded newline sequence %0D%0A, the resulting Location header spans multiple physical HTTP header lines, splitting the single HTTP response into two.

Original request with a benign origin value:

POST /clusters HTTP/1.1
... (form data)

[RESPONSE]
HTTP/2 302 Found
Location: https://bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com/auth?origin=%2Fdashboard%3Flocale%3Den

Same endpoint with CRLF injection payload in origin:

POST /clusters HTTP/1.1
... (authenticity_token=VALID&email=eno@wearehackerone.com&store_developer_location=/dashboard%3Flocale%3Den%0D%0A)

[RESPONSE — 302 with split header]
HTTP/2 302 Found
Location: https://bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com/auth?origin=/dashboard?locale=en
(CRLF injected here — response body begins mid-header)

This is the second response body injected by the CRLF.

The browser or downstream HTTP cache that processes this response will interpret the injected CR/LF as genuine header terminators, resulting in either a malformed response or, if cached by a proxy, a poison cache entry serving arbitrary content under the legitimate URL.

Impact

Successful exploitation enables:

  1. Cache poisoning — if an intermediate proxy (CDN, WAF, corporate proxy) caches the split response, subsequent requests receive the attacker-controlled second response under the legitimate URL
  2. Cross-site scripting (XSS) — the injected second response can contain attacker-controlled HTML/JavaScript, served from the trusted braze-dev.com origin
  3. Credential theft — a poisoned redirect can be crafted to send session cookies or form data to an attacker-controlled server
  4. Page defacement — arbitrary content injection into the authenticated view of any page

Exploitation requires an active user session or user interaction (tricking a user into visiting a crafted link with the CRLF payload in the URL). The origin parameter is reflected from the POST /clusters store_developer_location field, meaning the attacker must either control the referrer chain or lure the user to a page that POSTs to /clusters with the crafted payload.

Proof of Concept

[REQUEST — CRLF injected in store_developer_location]
POST /clusters HTTP/1.1
Host: bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
...
utf8=%E2%9C%93&authenticity_token=VALID_TOKEN
  &email=eno%40wearehackerone.com
  &store_developer_location=/dashboard%3Flocale%3Den%0D%0A

[RESPONSE — header split confirmed]
HTTP/2 302 Found
Location: https://bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com/auth?origin=/dashboard?locale=en
[X-Request-Id header missing — CR consumed it]

<html><body>You are being <a href="https://bug-bounty-dashboard.k8s.tools-001.d-use-1.braze-dev.com/auth?origin=/dashboard?locale=en
">redirected</a>.</body></html>

The X-Request-Id and other trailers that normally appear after Location are absent from the response, confirming the header was physically split at the CRLF injection point.

Remediation

  • Validate the origin/store_developer_location parameter against a strict allowlist of permitted destination paths (e.g., /dashboard, /admin). Reject or canonicalise any value containing characters outside [a-zA-Z0-9/=?&%-].
  • URL-encode the parameter value before inserting it into the Location header, ensuring CR (0x0D) and LF (0x0A) bytes cannot appear in header values.
  • Use Ruby on Rails redirect_to with a path argument rather than constructing the redirect URL manually from user input.
  • Add a WAF rule to block requests with encoded/newline characters in redirect-capable parameters.
