This is a Vulnerable Lab
ratnews.thexssrat.com is an intentionally vulnerable web application built by
The XSS Rat as a safe, legal environment for practising offensive security techniques.
You have explicit permission to attack this application. Do not use what you learn here against systems you do not own.
Why this lab exists
Real bug bounty hunters and penetration testers need live targets to sharpen their skills. This lab mirrors a realistic content-delivery stack
— a FastAPI app with a database, user accounts, an admin API, and RSS aggregation — so you can practise against something that behaves like a real application,
document your findings, and build a repeatable methodology without any legal risk.
What vulnerabilities are hidden here
→Reflected & Stored XSS — unsanitised user input rendered in the browser
→SQL Injection — boolean-based blind injection in search and filter endpoints
→SSRF — server-side request forgery via RSS feed ingest
→IDOR — insecure direct object references in user and preference endpoints
→Auth bypass & API key exposure — weak admin token enforcement and session manipulation
→Open redirect — unsafe next parameter handling after login
