Ep. 10 – Cookie XSS & Image Upload RCE: One Cookie, One File, Full Control
Manage episode 491032492 series 3643227

This episode breaks down two powerful exploits—a cookie-based XSS that bypassed frontend protections, and an RCE through Ghostscript triggered by a disguised PostScript file.
Learn how subtle misconfigurations turned everyday features into full account and server compromise.
