nipundev/NodeGoat: The OWASP NodeGoat project provides an environment to learn how OWASP Top 10 security risks apply to web applications developed using Node.js and how to effectively address them.

Being lightweight, fast, and scalable, Node.js is becoming a widely adopted platform for developing web applications. This project provides an environment to learn how OWASP Top 10 security risks apply to web applications developed using Node.js and how to effectively address them.

OWASP Top 10 for Node.js web applications:

This application bundled a tutorial page that explains the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and how to fix them.

Once the application is running, you can access the tutorial page at http://localhost:4000/tutorial (or the port you have configured).

A Vulnerable Node.js App for Ninjas to exploit, toast, and fix. You may like to set up your own copy of the app to fix and test vulnerabilities. Hint: Look for comments in the source code.

The database comes pre-populated with these user accounts created as part of the seed data -

How to Set Up Your Copy of NodeGoat OPTION 1 - Run NodeGoat on your machine
  1. Install Node.js - NodeGoat requires Node v8 or above

  2. Clone the github repository:

    git clone https://github.com/OWASP/NodeGoat.git
    
  3. Go to the directory:

  4. Install node packages:

  5. Set up MongoDB. You can either install MongoDB locally or create a remote instance:

  6. Populate MongoDB with the seed data required for the app:

    By default this will use the "development" configuration, but the desired config can be passed as an argument if required.

  7. Start the server. You can run the server using node or nodemon:

Customizing the Default Application Configuration

By default the application will be hosted on port 4000 and will connect to a MongoDB instance at localhost:27017. To change this set the environment variables PORT and MONGODB_URI.

Other settings can be changed by updating the config file.

OPTION 2 - Run NodeGoat on Docker

The repo includes the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml necessary to set up the app and db instance, then connect them together.

  1. Install docker and docker compose

  2. Clone the github repository:

    git clone https://github.com/OWASP/NodeGoat.git
    
  3. Go to the directory:

  4. Build the images:

  5. Run the app, this starts the NodeGoat application at http://localhost:4000/:

OPTION 3 - Deploy to Heroku

This option uses a free ($0/month) Heroku node server.

Though not essential, it is recommended that you fork this repository and deploy the forked repo. This will allow you to fix vulnerabilities in your own forked version, then deploy and test it on Heroku.

  1. Set up a publicly accessible MongoDB instance:

    1. Deploy a MongoDB Atlas free tier cluster (M0 Sandbox)
    2. Enable network access to the cluster from anywhere (CIDR range 0.0.0.0/0)
    3. Add a database user to the cluster
  2. Deploy NodeGoat to Heroku by clicking the button below:

    In the Create New App dialog, set the MONGODB_URI config var to the connection string of your MongoDB Atlas cluster. This can be viewed in the cluster's connect dialog. Select "Connect your application", set the driver to "Node.js" and the version to "2.2.12 or later". This will give a connection string in the form:

    mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster>/<dbname>?ssl=true&replicaSet=<rsname>&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&w=majority
    

    The <username> and <password> fields need filling in with the details of the database user added earlier. The <dbname> field sets the name of the database nodegoat will use in the cluster (eg "nodegoat"). The other fields will already be filled in with the correct details for your cluster.
