First , we do Nmap scan for opening ports and we found:
port 21(ftp)
port 22(ssh)
port 53(dns)
port 80(http)
port 139(smb)
port 445(smb)
smbclient L //hermoso.local/ Found secret share
smbclient //hermoso.local/secret
Port 80 web login , notice software application version is also there
Google search the exploit and found one , insert accordingly
Successful executing the exploit created a php web shell with a parameter "cmd"
We insert a reverse shell bash one liner with url encoding and open a listener to get reverse shell
Nagivate around and we found a user name "chris" and a password in the "wp-config.php.bak" file.
ssh into the user chris with the provided password , we get the user flag.
Listing what Chris can do as sudo shows that he/she can run a script called "CopySSHKey" as sudo.
addkey()
The variable tmp will create tmp file at /ssh* randomly
touch $tmp creates and executes the tmp file
Then the predefined ssh will be echoed into the tmp file
checkfile() check for file error
Finally it is echoed into root's authorized_keys
This means that if we echo our public key into it , we can use our private key to login
We generate our own ssh key and copy the public key
So we echo our key into any ssh* random file name that is created through the script
Script is available at my github : https://github.com/J4CKMEISTER/Tools/blob/main/hermoso2root.sh
Then , we run it before running the sudo script at background
Then we run the sudo script
And we check our ssh access
Note : First time might not work because our script is slower than the ./script.sh so we try run the script again
Unintended way : Kernal exploit does not work
