* **Node**: Drupal **indexes its content using nodes**. A node can **hold anything** such as a blog post, poll, article, etc. The page URIs are usually of the form `/node/<nodeid>`.
```bash
curl drupal-site.com/node/1
```
## Enumeration
Drupal supports **three types of users** by default:
1.**`Administrator`**: This user has complete control over the Drupal website.
2.**`Authenticated User`**: These users can log in to the website and perform operations such as adding and editing articles based on their permissions.
3.**`Anonymous`**: All website visitors are designated as anonymous. By default, these users are only allowed to read posts.
In older versions of Drupal **(before version 8)**, it was possible to log in as an admin and **enable the `PHP filter` module**, which "Allows embedded PHP code/snippets to be evaluated."
You need the **plugin php to be installed** (check it accessing to _/modules/php_ and if it returns a **403** then, **exists**, if **not found**, then the **plugin php isn't installed**)
Then click on _Add content_ -> Select _Basic Page_ or _Article -_> Write _php shellcode on the body_ -> Select _PHP code_ in _Text format_ -> Select _Preview_
From version **8 onwards, the** [**PHP Filter**](https://www.drupal.org/project/php/releases/8.x-1.1) **module is not installed by default**. To leverage this functionality, we would have to **install the module ourselves**.
1. Download the most recent version of the module from the Drupal website.
4. Once the module is installed, we can click on **`Content`** and **create a new basic page**, similar to how we did in the Drupal 7 example. Again, be sure to **select `PHP code` from the `Text format` dropdown**.
### Backdoored Module
A backdoored module can be created by **adding a shell to an existing module**. Modules can be found on the drupal.org website. Let's pick a module such as [CAPTCHA](https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha). Scroll down and copy the link for the tar.gz [archive](https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/captcha-8.x-1.2.tar.gz).
* Next, we need to create a **`.htaccess`** file to give ourselves access to the folder. This is necessary as Drupal denies direct access to the **`/modules`** folder.
```html
<IfModulemod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
</IfModule>
```
* The configuration above will apply rules for the / folder when we request a file in /modules. Copy both of these files to the captcha folder and create an archive.
```bash
mv shell.php .htaccess captcha
tar cvf captcha.tar.gz captcha/
```
* Assuming we have **administrative access** to the website, click on **`Manage`** and then **`Extend`** on the sidebar. Next, click on the **`+ Install new module`** button, and we will be taken to the install page, such as `http://drupal-site.local/admin/modules/install` Browse to the backdoored Captcha archive and click **`Install`**.
* Once the installation succeeds, browse to **`/modules/captcha/shell.php`** to execute commands.
