Repl compromise via obsolete fallback proxy
Published Jan 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Information exposure in Replit Crosis before 7.3.1 allows remote attackers to obtain Repl tokens through a fallback polling proxy. The getConnectionStr helper substitutes gp-v2.herokuapp.com as the polling host and places connectionMetadata.token in the /wsv2 request path. Standalone use and repeated WebSocket failures trigger the fallback; control of the obsolete proxy exposes a token that permits full compromise of the Repl, but not the account.
