DIMVA CTF 2013 - Web200 Writeup

After some testing a Xpath injection has been revealed in password parameter(may be also in user, didn’t test it). No chance to get the password with concatenating the queries so we must go blind. This is the script I used to extract flag:
The //User/ReportURL field was taken in /users.xml~ file (when you logged in successfully an HTML comment inform you about its existance).
