Root: 1703b8a3c9a8dde879942c79d02fd3a0

80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.4.18 ((Ubuntu))

Vulnerability Exploited:

SQL injection authentication bypass.

Command execution on authenticated webapp

Privilege escalation

Php cron service running as root.

Exploiting the host:

Nmap

Check for dns records

Update /etc/hosts file with 10.10.10.13 cronos.htb

Visit admin.cronos.htb

Login and fuzz the login with sqli in burp intruder.

These give a 302 redirect to /welcome.php so it is vulnerable to sqli authentication bypass.

This looks like it could be vulnerable to command injection.

Add ; id after the 8.8.8.8 address.

Check we can write files to the system and look for other tools like wget nc etc to get a shell using touch test.php.

Generate a php reverse shell with msfconsole.

Download shell with wget

Execute the shell by visiting /vdk.php

Download all enumeration scripts to the system and run.

Checking the content of /etc/crontab shows a file running as root so we just need to copy our vdk shell to /var/www/laravel/artisan

Copy our php reverse shell to the dir, rename and make executable.

Ensure the php reverse shell is listening, after a brief period you should get a shell.

Collect the flags
