Description

Hello

I have problem with “Session Management Challenge 5”. I have checked with other Students who have solved this challenge and the told me, that it worked for them this way

  1. Passwort Reset request «admin»
  2. The subUserName, newPassword and resetPasswordToken (“TimaeStamp” in base64) send to the ChangePass URL with OWASP ZAP
  3. Receive the following request:
    a.

    Password change request success.

  4. Try to login as admin,
    a. Receive: incorrect password for admin

I’ve made a video doing these steps

Here is the link to the video:

Research direction

Start by reproducing Session Management Challenge 5 using the reported password-reset and ChangePass request sequence in OWASP ZAP. Inspect the ChangePass handling and the subsequent admin login behavior, using the linked video for context. Done means determining why the reported successful password change does not permit admin login and resolving or clearly documenting the behavior.
