Context#

Admin panels collect user management, configuration, and data export in a browser UI. Offensive value is high when the path is guessable, the install still uses default credentials, or the panel is exposed to the open internet while the product assumed a management VLAN.

Theory#

Typical paths include /admin, /wp-admin, product-specific console URLs, and database admin UIs left under the app root. Success is often a combination of path discovery, default password lists, and session behavior after login (cookie scope, lack of MFA on the panel only).

Practice#

Map panel auth model in a lab#

  • After login, identify whether the session is the same as the main app or a separate cookie name. Test whether a low-privilege app session can GET admin paths without a second factor when the product claims MFA is on.
