I enumerated Spring Boot Actuator endpoints, including /actuator/heapdump, which revealed plaintext credentials for oscar190. SSH login as oscar190 was successful, though the home directory was empty. Analysis of application.properties exposed Eureka credentials (EurekaSrvr:0scarPWDisTheB3st), granting access to the Eureka dashboard. By registering a malicious microservice, I retrieved miranda.wise credentials and captured the user flag. For privilege escalation, I identified a vulnerable log_analyse.sh script, performed command injection, and created a SUID bash shell in /tmp/bash. Executing this shell provided root access, allowing retrieval of the root flag and full control of the machine.

I successfully captured both user and root flags by exploiting a file upload vulnerability to gain a web shell, extracting database credentials from config.php, and cracking the user hash to reveal the password Jenni_Luvs_Magic23. Using these credentials, I accessed the web application, discovered an SSH migration hint, and leveraged a Kerberos ticket (f.frizzle.ccache) to gain SSH access and retrieve the user flag with type user.txt. For the root flag, I escalated privileges using M.SchoolBus and SharpGPOAbuse to manipulate SleepGPO, applied changes with gpupdate.exe /force, extracted credentials with secretdump, and used wmiexec to secure a root-level shell, ultimately reading the root flag with type root.txt.

Compromised university.htb by exploiting ReportLab RCE (CVE-2023-33733) to gain initial access as wao. Forged a professor certificate to impersonate george, then uploaded a malicious lecture to compromise Martin.T.
Escalated privileges by exploiting a scheduled task with a malicious .url file, used LocalPotato (CVE-2023-21746) for elevation on WS-3, and abused SeBackupPrivilege to extract NTDS.dit, ultimately retrieving Domain Admin credentials.
🔍 A great hands-on challenge combining web exploitation, privilege escalation, and Active Directory abuse.

Successfully exploited a code execution vulnerability in a web application by bypassing keyword restrictions through Python class enumeration, leading to a reverse shell as the app-production user and retrieval of the user.txt flag. Leveraged access to a SQLite database to crack credentials for the martin user and escalate privileges. Identified a backup script running with root privileges, crafted a malicious JSON payload to include the root directory in backups, and ultimately obtained the root.txt flag.
This engagement highlights the importance of secure input validation, credential management, and careful privilege delegation in application security.
