Bronze IIWeb App Hacking (Lab series): CVE-2022-42889 (Text4Shell) – Offensive
Hey all, Anyone have any luck with CVE-2022-42889 (Text4Shell) – Offensive? The first few questions were easy enough, but I have spent hours on the last one trying to get the token. On the attack...
I was also now able to complete this lab using a browser, or using curl in a terminal, both work just as well.
By combining the Payload Example in the briefing and the reverse shell command in the referenced blog, I created the new payload. I think the key that prevented success for a long time, was that when using CyberChef to URL encode it, you MUST encode all special characters!
Good luck!

Bronze II'm experiencing the exact same problem! I've been working on this lab for hours and have tried everything. Despite getting the "Processed: <PAYLOAD>" response each time, I was never able to retrieve token content from /token.txt
This seems like a systemic issue with the lab environment. Has anyone actually successfully completed this lab recently?
