- Vulnerabilties
Tiny file manager
Exploitation#
so the default creds worked admin/admin@123

Seems like the files are being saved in this path

https://febin0x4e4a.wordpress.com/2022/01/23/tiny-file-manager-authenticated-rce/
We are meeting an error where we are not allowd to write in the specified folder

lets try path traversal acco. to the blog we found
by giving a rubbish url we get the file path where the stuff is being stored

/var/www/html/tiny/tinyfilemanager.php

we were able to upload it in the /uploads/ directory and on viewing it we get our php shell
found this soccer player but we dont have perms to view the flag wha

hmm lets look around
after discovering the subdomain soc-player.soccer.htb under site-enabled directory we add it to our vi /etc/hosts and have this page with us

right off the bat i notice the menu bars
there is this portal that we come accross

and under check we find this

i think its cross checking the tickets with a backend for validity, lets try some sql payload
apparently it is vulnerable so we exploit it with sqlmap and get the creds for player
lets ssh as player
