# Paper Writeup
![](img/65.png)
## Introduction :
Paper is an easy box released back in Febuary 2022
## **Part 1 : Initial Enumeration**
As always we begin our Enumeration using **Nmap** to enumerate opened ports. We will be using the flags **-sC** for default scripts and **-sV** to enumerate versions.
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ sudo vim /etc/hosts
[sudo] password for nothing:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ ping paper.htb
PING paper.htb (10.129.136.31) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from paper.htb (10.129.136.31): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=24.9 ms

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 15.78 seconds
## **Part 2 : Getting User Access**
Our nmap scan picked up port 80 running apache 2.4.37 which is most likely running CentOS. When we curl port 80 we see it displays another domain:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ curl -v http://paper.htb
* Trying 10.129.136.31:80...
* Connected to paper.htb (10.129.136.31) port 80 (#0)
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: paper.htb
User-Agent: curl/7.84.0

ETag: "30c0b-5c5c7fdeec240"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 199691
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
So we add the domain office.paper to our /etc/hosts file:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ sudo vim /etc/hosts
[sudo] password for nothing:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ cat /etc/hosts | grep paper
10.129.136.31 paper.htb office.paper
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ ping office.paper
PING paper.htb (10.129.136.31) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from paper.htb (10.129.136.31): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=23.2 ms
64 bytes from paper.htb (10.129.136.31): icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=23.0 ms
let's enumerate for other subdomains using wfuzz (we specify the wordlist we want to use and we hide 403 code responses):
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ wfuzz -u http://office.paper -H "Host: FUZZ.office.paper" -w /bedrock/strata/kali/usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/subdomains-top1million-5000.txt --hc 403

wfuzz found the chat.office.paper subdomain so let's also add it to our /etc/hosts file, then we browse it:
![](prg/65_001.png)
And here we find a rocketchat instance. Let's go back to it after we get credentials. We move on back to the http site with the TLD office.paper:
![](prg/65_002.png) ![](prg/65_003.png)
browsing to **http://office.paper/wp-admin** reveals that it is a wordpress site. So we run wpscan:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ wpscan --url http://office.paper

So here this wordpress instance is vulnerable to CVE-2019-17671, which is basically a mistake which allows us to view published posts with the following PHP variable: **?static=1** which allows us to see all the other posts:
![](prg/65_004.png)
here a secret post reveals to us the secret registering link, so let's use it to create an account:
![](prg/65_005.png)
once we log in, we can see the following info:
![](prg/65_006.png)
Basically there's a bot called recyclops and we can reach it via DM to type commands:
![](prg/65_007.png)
We can list files with the command "list"
![](prg/65_008.png)
And with directory traversal we see that there is a user on the box called "dwight".
![](prg/65_009.png)
Going just one directory up we see the directory hubot containing a .env file with plaintext credentials: **recyclops/Queenofblad3s!23** , so let's check for password reuse with the user dwight:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Paper]
→ crackmapexec ssh office.paper -u dwight -p 'Queenofblad3s!23'

Here we see that there should be a buffer overflow vulnerability with the sudo binary, vulnerability nicknamed "Baron Samedit". To check if it is vulnerable we need to run **sudoedit -s /** and if it returns **sudoedit /: not a regular file** then it is vulnerable:
[dwight@paper ~]$ sudoedit -s /
usage: sudoedit [-AknS] [-r role] [-t type] [-C num] [-g group] [-h host] [-p prompt] [-T timeout] [-u user] file ...
It's not, however linpeas.sh also picked up that the VM is vulnerable to CVE-2021-3560, so let's exploit it as follows:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

And that's it! We managed to get the root flag!
