# MercadoLibre — HTTP Recon & Bug Bounty Report **Target:** `mercadolibre.com` / `mercadolivre.com` / `mercadolibre.com.ar` (+ country TLDs) **Method:** subdomain recon → CT logs → DNS → `httpx` probing → manual curl verification **Tools:** ctlogs.dev, certspotter, crt.sh, httpx, curl, jq --- ## 1. Executive Summary | Metric | Count | |---|---| | Total targets probed | 80 | | Live HTTP/HTTPS hosts | 53 | | Dead / unreachable / internal-only | 27 | | **High-value findings** | **1 critical, 3 notable** | --- ## 2. 🎯 Key Findings (Bug Bounty Priorities) ### 🔴 CRITICAL — `artifacts.mercadolibre.com` **Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager — PUBLICLY EXPOSED** | Probe | Result | |---|---| | `/` (UI) | HTTP 200 (Sonatype Nexus Repository title) | | `/service/rest/v1/repositories` | HTTP **200** — lists all internal repos, **NO AUTH** | | `/service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=ios-releases` | HTTP **200** — returns full asset metadata | | `/repository/ios-releases/AndesUI/3.27.14/AndesUI.zip` | HTTP **200** — actual file downloadable (809 KB) | | `/service/rest/v1/status/writable` | HTTP 200 (Nexus writable check) | | `/service/rest/v1/security/users` | HTTP 403 (auth required) | **Exposed repositories:** ``` ios-releases raw hosted 349,443,371 bytes android-releases maven2 hosted 1,339,419,938 bytes android-experimental maven2 hosted 15,080,460 bytes extra maven2 proxy 4,504,305 bytes ios-experimental raw hosted 0 bintray-android-public maven2 proxy 0 oss-ios-releases raw proxy 0 oss-android-releases maven2 proxy 6,678 ``` **Headers returned on artifact download:** ``` server: nginx/1.29.4 access-control-allow-origin: * content-security-policy: sandbox allow-forms ... ``` **Why this matters:** internal build artifacts (Android `.apk`/`.jar`, iOS `.zip` framework bundles) are enumerable and downloadable by anyone on the internet. `access-control-allow-origin: *` makes it trivially scriptable. Look for: - Hardcoded API keys / tokens baked into those artifacts - Reverse-engineer release binaries for signed-in internal endpoints - Supply-chain attack surface (can anyone upload? `status/writable=200` suggests possibility) **Report template:** "Unauthenticated Access to Internal Artifact Repository (Sonatype Nexus) on artifacts.mercadolibre.com allows disclosure of proprietary Android/iOS build binaries." --- ### 🟠 NOTABLE — `fooddeliverywebapp.mercadolibre.com` **AWS S3 bucket behind CloudFront** | Probe | Result | |---|---| | HTTPS root | HTTP 403, `x-amz-bucket-region: us-east-1`, `x-amz-id-2`, `x-amz-request-id` leaked | | `/?list-type=2&max-keys=10` | `AccessDenied` (good, no public listing) | | `Host: fooddeliverywebapp.mercadolibre.com` on HTTP | HTTP 301 → `https://fooddeliverywebapp.mercadolibre.com:443/` | | httpx (first probe) | HTTP 307 → `http://fooddeliverywebapp.mercadolibre.com:9001` | The redirect to **port 9001** is anomalous — it suggests an upstream origin server on a non-standard port. Try: - `https://fooddeliverywebapp.mercadolibre.com:9001/` (probably blocked by LB) - Probe common paths: `/health`, `/api`, `/status`, `/actuator/health` - Check S3 bucket naming convention (`fooddeliverywebapp-*`, search public buckets for similar name) --- ### 🟠 NOTABLE — SAML/Auth0 `next` parameter on learning portals **`learning.mercadolibre.com`** and **`learninghub.mercadolibre.com.ar`** both redirect to `/login?next=&tpa_hint=`. ``` https://learning.mercadolibre.com/login?next=%2F%3Ftpa_hint%3Dsaml-auth0-saml https://learninghub.mercadolibre.com.ar/login?next=%2F%3Ftpa_hint%3Doa2-marketplace-id ``` - Direct injection of `next=https://evil.example.com` returned **HTTP 403** (good — SSRF/open-redirect blocked). - However, the `tpa_hint` parameter names an Auth0 connection strategy. **Try enumerating other tpa_hint values** (`google-oauth2`, `auth0`, `saml`, `passwordless`, etc.) — misconfiguration may allow identity-provider bypass. --- ### 🟡 INTERESTING — `events-ads.mercadolibre.com` **HTTP 421 Misdirected Request** ``` x-served-by: cache-fra-etou8220121 ``` The header `x-served-by` resembles **Fastly** infrastructure. HTTP 421 means the request was sent to the wrong origin/edge node. This could be: - A routing bug (send a specific Host header to make it work) - A stale CDN configuration (old production endpoints still cached) - Try adding different `Host:` headers or probing alternate paths (`/health`, `/status`, `/metrics`). --- ## 3.

Bug Bounty Hunting Recommendations ### Highest Impact — `artifacts.mercadolibre.com` 1. **Enumerate all artifacts** via `/service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=ios-releases&sort=version` and `android-releases` 2. **Search for secrets in binaries** — run `strings` / `grep -a` against downloaded artifacts for API keys, client IDs, private endpoints 3. **Look for proxy repositories** (`oss-*`, `bintray-*`) — potential **SSRF** if Nexus allows custom upstream 4. **Check for upload permissions** — POST to `/service/rest/v1/repositories//...` to see if writable (Nexus default "anonymous upload" is sometimes left on) 5. **Version disclosure** — server header says nginx/1.29.4 (very recent). Nexus itself may have CVEs if version is old ### Medium Impact — Auth flows 1. `learning.mercadolibre.com` — try different `tpa_hint` values to see if unauthorized SAML connections are accepted 2. `learninghub.mercadolibre.com.ar` — same strategy 3. `vendorhub.mercadolibre.com` `/login` — check for default accounts, password reset enumeration 4. `pppi-stg.mercadolibre.com` vs `pppi.mercadolibre.com` — content differs (different md5). Staging may have looser auth or test data ### Low Impact but worth trying 1. `jobs-test.mercadolibre.com` — "test" in the name. Maybe has debug endpoints 2. `events-ads.mercadolibre.com` 421 — send different Host headers or `/health`/`/metrics` 3. `news.mercadolibre.com` — Drupal 10: check `/user/login`, `/update.php`, `/admin`, REST endpoints, CORS 4. `op-scim.mercadolibre.com` → `/app/` — likely Okta SCIM; look for provisioner config leak 5. `bc-jpm-*` — sounds like a "JPMorgan" payment gateway beta; DNS resolves but no HTTP. Maybe non-HTTP protocol or IP-restricted 6. `soap.mercadolibre.com` — legacy SOAP endpoint; try common WSDL paths (`/?wsdl`, `/services/`, `/axis2/`) 7. `survey.mercadolibre.com` — 2.20.143.90 is likely Akamai. Survey portals often have XSS in question metadata ### Wildcard expansion targets From cert data, these wildcards were found — probe the sub-hosts they cover: ``` *.realtime-dev.global-selling.mercadolibre.com *.realtime-prod.global-selling.mercadolibre.com *.realtime-prod.sellers.mercadolibre.com *.sellers.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.m-int-dev.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.m-int-prd.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.s1-int-dev.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.s1-int-prd.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.s1-pub-prd.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.s2-int-prd.mercadolibre.com *.nginx.s2-pub-prd.mercadolibre.com *.prodeng-internal.mercadolibre.com *.prodeng-playground-internal.mercadolibre.com *.hom-proxy-urutec.mercadolibre.com *.homl-proxy-urutec.mercadolibre.com *.prod-proxy-urutec.mercadolibre.com ``` ### Cross-country domains ``` mercadolibre.com.bo / .com.co / .com.do / .com.ec / .com.gt mercadolibre.com.hn / .com.mx / .com.ni / .com.pa / .com.pe mercadolibre.com.py / .com.sv / .com.uy / .com.ve mercadolivre.com (Brazil) ``` Each has the same API/developers subdomain pattern — often weakly tested for country-specific bugs. --- ## 7. Report Template (Ready to Submit) **Title:** Unauthenticated Access to Sonatype Nexus Repository (artifacts.mercadolibre.com) **Severity:** Critical / High **Description:** The host `artifacts.mercadolibre.com` hosts a Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager. An unauthenticated user can: 1. Enumerate all configured repositories via `GET /service/rest/v1/repositories` 2. Query asset metadata via `GET /service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=` 3. Download proprietary build artifacts (e.g., iOS framework `.zip`, Android maven2 packages) **PoC:** ```bash curl 'https://artifacts.mercadolibre.com/service/rest/v1/repositories' | jq '.[] | .name' curl 'https://artifacts.mercadolibre.com/service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=ios-releases' curl -I 'https://artifacts.mercadolibre.com/repository/ios-releases/AndesUI/3.27.14/AndesUI.zip' ``` **Impact:** - Proprietary source-level build artifacts publicly available - Potential secret leakage in build binaries - CORS `*` on all assets allows scripted exfiltration - `access-control-allow-origin: *` combined with `sandbox` CSP makes this an attractive vector **Remediation:** - Require authentication for all Nexus REST endpoints - Restrict repository-level anonymous read to specific IPs - Ensure `status/writable` is not exposed --- ## 8.
