+# Lab 1 — OWASP Juice Shop & PR Workflow
+
+## Task 1 — Triage Report — OWASP Juice Shop
+
+# Triage Report — OWASP Juice Shop
+
+## Scope & Asset
+- Asset: OWASP Juice Shop (local lab instance)
+- Image: bkimminich/juice-shop:v19.0.0
+- Release link/date: https://github.com/juice-shop/juice-shop/releases/tag/v19.0.0 — September 2024
+- Image digest (optional): *(not collected)*
+
+---
+
+## Environment
+- Host OS: Ubuntu Linux (VirtualBox VM, user: vboxuser, host: amirLinux)
+- Docker version: 28.2.2
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Details
+
+Run command used:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name juice-shop \
+ -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 \
+ bkimminich/juice-shop:v19.0.0
+```
+
+Access URL: http://127.0.0.1:3000
+
+Network exposure: 127.0.0.1 only — [x] Yes [ ] No
+
+Because the container port is bound explicitly to localhost
+
+## Health Check
+
+1. UI Check
+
+Navigated to http://127.0.0.1:3000
+
+The OWASP Juice Shop UI loaded successfully
+
+Screenshot: labs/img/juice-home.jpg
+
+2. API Check
+
+Command executed:
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3000/rest/products | head
+```
+
+Output:
+```html
+
+
+
+ Error: Unexpected path: /rest/products
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+```
+
+This confirms that:
+
+the backend is reachable,
+
+the request hits the application,
+
+but this specific version/route returns a generic error handler page — acceptable for triage documentation
+
+
+## Surface Snapshot (Triage)
+
+Login/Registration visible: Yes
+Notes: Login and Register shown in the top menu.
+
+Product listing/search present: Yes
+Notes: Main page includes product cards + search bar.
+
+Admin/account area discoverable: Yes
+Notes: Account menu and admin panel options visible in UI.
+
+Client-side console errors: No
+Notes: No JS errors in browser DevTools.
+
+Security headers (quick look):
+```bash
+curl -I http://127.0.0.1:3000
+```
+
+Notes:
+Headers are minimal and lack CSP/HSTS/X-Frame-Options.
+Expected for a deliberately insecure training application, but would be a serious issue in production
+
+## Risks Observed (Top 3)
+
+1. Verbose stack traces exposed to users.
+/rest/products returns HTML containing internal error messages and detailed stack traces — dangerous information disclosure in real environments.
+
+2. Application could be accidentally exposed publicly.
+If binded to 0.0.0.0 or deployed to a VPS, attackers could exploit Juice Shop’s intentional vulnerabilities.
+
+3. Large attack surface (auth, search, basket, admin).
+Many user input points → higher risk of XSS, SQLi, IDOR, and broken authentication if this were a real e-commerce system
+
+## Task 2 - PR Template Setup & Verification
+
+PR Template Creation
+
+A pull request template was added at:
+```bash
+.github/pull_request_template.md
+```
+
+Template includes:
+
+Sections: Goal, Changes, Testing, Artifacts & Screenshots
+
+Checklist:
+
+ PR title is clear and descriptive
+
+ Documentation updated if needed
+
+ No secrets, temporary files, or large binaries included
+
+This ensures consistent structure and quality across all lab submissions
+
+Template Application Verification
+
+Steps performed:
+
+1. Created a new branch:
+```bash
+git checkout -b feature/lab1
+```
+
+2. Added the submission file and screenshot:
+```bash
+git add labs/submission1.md labs/img/juice-home.png
+git commit -m "docs(lab1): add submission1 report"
+git push -u origin feature/lab1
+```
+
+3. Opened a pull request inside my fork (feature/lab1 → main)
+
+4. GitHub automatically applied the PR template:
+
+* Goal
+
+* Changes
+
+* Testing
+
+* Artifacts & Screenshots
+
+* 3-step Checklist
+
+5. Filled in the template with deployment/testing details
+
+How Templates Improve Collaboration
+
+Ensures every PR has a clear purpose and structure
+
+Reduces review time for instructors
+
+Prevents mistakes (missing docs, secrets, temp files)
+
+Standardizes workflow for all future labs
+
+
+## Challenges & Solutions
+
+API endpoint returned HTML instead of JSON.
+Resolved by analyzing server logs, confirming the backend is up,
+and documenting the behaviour properly in the triage report.
+
+PR template not loading at first.
+Fixed by committing the template on the main branch of my fork — required by GitHub
