New Write-Up Published: Haze [Medium | Windows | Active Directory] – Hack The Box
Just released a walkthrough for Haze, a medium-difficulty Windows machine on Hack The Box. Initial access was obtained by exploiting CVE-2024-36991, a local file inclusion vulnerability in Splunk, to extract LDAP credentials. This enabled a Shadow Credentials attack using PyWhisker and Certipy, allowing lateral movement to a high-privileged domain user. For privilege escalation, I utilized Splunk admin access to deploy a reverse shell via a crafted app package. Upon gaining shell access, I escalated privileges to NT SYSTEM by abusing SeImpersonatePrivilege with SweetPotato. This box offers great insight into chained Active Directory abuse and Splunk misconfigurations.

Meaning, they are continuously sending their Windows usernames and passwords to domain names they do not control and which are freely available for anyone to register. Here’s a look at one security researcher’s efforts to map and shrink the size of this insidious problem.
