Alert - Hack The Box

Alert is an easy-difficulty Linux machine with a website to upload, view, and share markdown files. The site is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS), which is exploited to access an internal page vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read and leveraged to gain access to a password hash. The hash is then cracked to reveal the credentials leveraged to gain ‘SSH’ access to the target. Enumeration of processes running on the system shows a ‘PHP’ file that is being executed regularly, which has excessive privileges for the management group our user is a member of and allows us to overwrite the file for code execution as root.

SymFonos 6.1 - VulnHub

In this machine, we are exploiting XSS to perform CSRF and abusing APIs to achieve RCE. Additionally, we are taking advantage of a Golang binary with sudoers configuration.

Vaccine - Hack The Box

In this machine, we take advantage of an FTP misconfiguration to obtain credentials and crack hashes. Additionally, we exploit a PostgreSQL database using SQL Injection and leverage the sudoers file.
