Dependency Confusion

Question

I feel as though I have exploited the vulnerability correctly and have gained RCE onto the server but I lack the sufficient privileges to access the token to complete the lab. I have no idea if I missed something but any help is appreciated.

Commands used can be found below.

Hey Mail 👋Thanks for sharing your steps. Based on what you've shown, it doesn't look like you've got RCE on the system yet. The commands you're running are on the Desktop instance of the lab (dependency-confusing-desktop). Once you've got RCE, you'll be the root user, so running "whoami" will output root, not iml-user.&nbsp;Hope this helps!&nbsp;

It looks like you've successfully uploaded the file onto the target server but are trying to control it incorrectly and instead you're controlling you're own system instead of the target's. Try finding the file through the listener set up earlier.

so solving this lab is quite straight forward by just copy pasting the instructions.the setup.py only needs to by modified on 3 places (ip, name, version) and then build it and upload it. so far so good. once you get a shell "whoami" should show you root. just tried it and it just works like this
