Leverage a misconfigured PostgreSQL database server that is listening on all interfaces with default credentials to gain code execution in this lab. Next, exploit misconfigured SUID permissions on the /usr/bin/find binary for privilege escalation. This approach enhances your skills in identifying misconfigurations and escalating privileges effectively.
In this lab, you will exploit a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in an outdated version of CS Cart installed on the PayDay lab. This lab enhances your skills in vulnerability detection, exploitation, and system access techniques.
The lab will leverage enumeration techniques, including web enumeration, to uncover potential vulnerabilities. You will also exploit CVE-2021-3129 and demonstrate how to abuse SUDO permissions for unauthorized access. This lab focuses on understanding and exploiting vulnerabilities to enhance security awareness.
This lab demonstrates exploiting a remote code execution vulnerability in SmarterMail build 6985 to gain SYSTEM-level access on a Windows server. Learners will identify the application version, leverage an RCE exploit, and use a reverse shell payload to compromise the target. This lab emphasizes web application exploitation and highlights the risks of unpatched software.
In this lab, we will exploit the target through an authenticated file upload bypass vulnerability in Subrion CMS that leads to remote code execution. We will then exploit a root cron job via a script running exiftool every minute.
This lab demonstrates exploiting a pre-auth remote code execution vulnerability in SaltStack Master (CVE-2020-11651). Learners will leverage the SaltStack API to execute arbitrary commands, resulting in a root shell on the target. This lab highlights the risks of unpatched critical vulnerabilities in infrastructure management tools.
Flight is a hard Windows machine that starts with a website with two different virtual hosts. One of them is vulnerable to LFI and allows an attacker to retrieve an NTLM hash. Once cracked, the obtained clear text password will be sprayed across a list of valid usernames to discover a password re-use scenario. Once the attacker has SMB access as the user s.moon he is able to write to a share that gets accessed by other users. Certain files can be used to steal the NTLMv2 hash of the users that access the share. Once the second hash is cracked the attacker will be able to write a reverse shell in a share that hosts the web files and gain a shell on the box as low privileged user. Having credentials for the user c.bum, it will be possible to gain a shell as this user, which will allow the attacker to write an aspx web shell on a web site that’s configured to listen only on localhost. Once the attacker has command execution as the Microsoft Virtual Account he is able to run Rubeus to get a ticket for the machine account that can be used to perform a DCSync attack ultimately obtaining the hashes for the Administrator user.
Titanic is an easy difficulty Linux machine that features an Apache server listening on port 80. The website on port 80 advertises the amenities of the legendary Titanic ship and allows users to book trips. A second vHost is also identified after fuzzing, which points to a Gitea server. The Gitea server allows registrations, and exploration of the available repositories reveals some interesting information including the location of a mounted Gitea data folder, which is running via a Docker container. Back to the original website, the booking functionality is found to be vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Read exploit, and combining the directory identified from Gitea, it is possible to download the Gitea SQLite database locally. Said database contains hashed credentials for the developer user, which can be cracked. The credentials can then be used to login to the remote system over SSH. Enumeration of the file system reveals that a script in the /opt/scripts directory is being executed every minute. This script is running the magick binary in order to gather information about specific images. This version of magick is found to be vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution exploit assigned CVE-2024-41817. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in elevation of privileges to the root user.
