In this video, we cover Lab #13 in the Access Control Vulnerabilities module of the Web Security Academy. This lab controls access to certain admin functionality based on the Referer header. You can familiarize yourself with the admin panel by logging in using the credentials administrator:admin. To solve the lab, we log in using the credentials wiener:peter and exploit the flawed access controls to promote ourselves to become an administrator.
