Damn Vulnerable Cloud Application

This is a demonstration project to show how to do privilege escalation on AWS. DO NOT deploy this on an AWS account unless you know very well what you are doing!

Implemented Cloud Providers & Vulnerabilities

More details about how to use it are available on my blog. For now, it's very AWS-centric, but the frontend is completely agnostic to the backend's technology, so if you want to contribute with a backend using other Cloud providers, I gladly accept PRs.

Prerequisites

• A domain name managed by AWS
• The ACM Certificate ID associated to this domain
• A Wildcard Certificate associated to this domain
• The Hosted Zone ID associated to this domain

Deployment

In theory, you should be able to deploy the Damn Vulnerable Cloud Application with a simple command:

make all DOMAIN_NAME=<your_aws_managed_domain_name> \
  ROOT_CERTIFICATE=<your_root_acm_certificate_id> \
  CERTIFICATE=<your_acm_certificate_id> \
  HOSTED_ZONE=<your_hosted_zone_id>

But the project is modular, so you could also deploy it in multiple steps. Typical make resources would be: prerequisites, frontend and a backend of your choice

make prerequisites DOMAIN_NAME=<your_aws_managed_domain_name> \
  CERTIFICATE=<your_acm_certificate_id> \
  HOSTED_ZONE=<your_hosted_zone_id>
make frontend DOMAIN_NAME=<your_aws_managed_domain_name> \
  ROOT_CERTIFICATE=<your_acm_certificate_id> \
  HOSTED_ZONE=<your_hosted_zone_id>
make fargate DOMAIN_NAME=<your_aws_managed_domain_name> \
  CERTIFICATE=<your_acm_certificate_id> \
  HOSTED_ZONE=<your_hosted_zone_id>

Just be careful: The frontend needs your root domain Certificate ID for the CloudFront distribution, while the rest just needs your wildcard Certificate ID

In the end, you should end-up with something like this :-)
