I have included my script in another file (main.sh), which I used in discovering this vulnerability.

I didn't do any form of manual work in finding this vulnerability, and my workflow was fully automated with Bash scripting.

I have shortened my actual script, and only included the part which helped me in finding this vulnerability in the main.sh file.

main.sh

## Subdomain Enumeration
	echo "Checking with Assetfinder!";
	assetfinder -subs-only fb.com >> ~/results/fb.com/subs/assetfinder.txt;
	echo "Checking with Subfinder!";
	subfinder -d fb.com -recursive -silent -all -t 500 -o ~/results/fb.com/subs/subfinder.txt;
	echo "Checking with Sublist3r!";
	sublist3r -d fb.com -n -t 500 -o ~/results/fb.com/subs/sublist3r.txt;
	echo "Checking with Amass!";
	amass enum -passive -norecursive -noalts -d fb.com -o ~/results/fb.com/subs/amass.txt;

## Subdomain Concatenation
	cat ~/results/fb.com/subs/*.txt > ~/results/fb.com/subs.txt;

## Subdomain Enumeration Cleanup
	rm -rf ~/results/fb.com/subs;

## Subdomain Enumeration Results
	sort -u ~/results/fb.com/subs.txt -o ~/results/fb.com/subs.txt

## Elastic Beanstalk Checker
while IFS= read -r domain; do
	if dig +short $domain | grep elasticbeanstalk; then echo $domain | tee -a ~/results/fb.com/elasticbeanstalk.txt; fi;
done < ~/results/fb.com/subs.txt

Hello,

I think is no longer possible to perform this take over? I can't create a custom env. URL.

Can you confirm?

Hello @pdelteil,

I think you tried to create an application at Elastic Beanstalk, so you weren't able to define a custom URL. Can you once try creating an environment?

I just tried, and I'm still able to define custom URLs without any random strings added to the URL.

Here is an image showing what I did to verify just now!

If you have any further queries, please let me know!

Thanks,
Binit

Thank you for your quick answer. There's something odd, that dialog appeared when I created the second environment and not while creating the first.
