ZugToken

A vulnerability exists in the legacy game-analysis WebSocket endpoint that allows a user to perform unlimited server-side Stockfish analysis Game Review (CAPS calculation) on arbitrary PGNs, bypassing standard quotas.

The backend fails to validate that the authorization token generated for a specific game matches the PGN and Game UUID submitted in the WebSocket payload. By obtaining an authorization token for a single, valid game, an attacker can reuse that token to analyze any other game on the platform.

Usage

• Analyze any game normally and copy its Game ID.
• Replace ANALYZED_GAME with that Game ID.
• Add your Chess.com cookies to COOKIES.
• Install the required dependencies.
• Run the script:

python .\main.py "12345678"

Replace 12345678 with the target game ID you want to analyze.

After the script finishes:

• A JSON file containing the analysis data should appear in the same directory as the Python script.
• The analyzed game may display an accuracy score if the request succeeded.
