CTFd Unique User Token Plugin

This plugin for CTFd generates a unique token for each user and provides functionality to replace certain placeholders on the client-side with that token. It also introduces a mechanism to automatically submit challenges using these tokens.

Features

Generates a secure and unique token for each registered user in CTFd.
Automatically replaces the ##unique_token## placeholder in challenge descriptions with the user's token.
Provides an API route for admins to solve challenges on behalf of a user using their token.

Installation

Clone this repository into your CTFd's plugins directory:

cd /path/to/CTFd/plugins
git clone [REPOSITORY_URL]

Restart CTFd or your web server.
Configure the environment variables UNIQUE_TOKEN_SECRETKEY and UNIQUE_TOKEN_SALT to enhance the security of the generated tokens.

Usage

Once installed, the plugin will automatically generate a token for each user upon logging in. Moreover, any instance of ##unique_token## in challenge descriptions will be replaced with the user's unique token.

API

GET /get_user_token: Retrieves the current user's token.
GET /admin-solve/<token>/<challenge_name>: Solves a challenge for a user using their token (admin only). Example:
- ADMIN_TOKEN: Generate it in https://CTFD/settings#tokens
- CTFD: CTFD URL

curl:

curl  'http://<CTFD>/admin-solve/<USER_UNIQUE_TOKEN>/<CHALLENGE_FULL_NAME>' -H 'Authorization: Token <ADMIN_CTFD_TOKEN>' -H 'Content-type: application/json'

Python:

import requests

def request_to_ctfd(url, admin_ctfd_token, user_unique_token, challenge_name):
    r = requests.get(f"{url}/admin-solve/{user_unique_token}/{challenge_name}", headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'Authorization': f"Bearer {admin_ctfd_token}"})
    return(r.text)
