Mutillidae is a deliberately vulnerable cybersecurity training platform designed to help users learn about and test web application security concepts. It contains multiple levels of security configurations to facilitate learning by intentionally exposing vulnerabilities in lower levels.
-
Levels 1 to 4:
These levels contain intentional vulnerabilities that are included as part of the training exercises.- Note: Finding security issues in these levels is normal and expected.
-
Level 5:
This is the secure mode. In Level 5, the application is configured to run with secure coding practices in place.- Expectation: There should be no known security issues when the platform is set to Level 5.
- If any security issue is found in Level 5, please report it following the instructions below.
If you discover a security vulnerability in Level 5:
- Open an issue in the Mutillidae GitHub repository.
- Provide:
- A detailed description of the vulnerability.
- Steps to reproduce the issue.
- Any potential impact the vulnerability might have.
The maintainers will review and respond promptly to address the reported issue.
- Issues found in Levels 1 to 4 are not considered vulnerabilities as they are intentionally included for educational purposes.
- Only Level 5 security issues are treated as actual vulnerabilities.
- We encourage responsible disclosure and appreciate contributions from the security community to help us improve the platform.
Thank you for helping us maintain the security of Mutillidae.
