CTF Stapler: Walkthrough
Welcome back to my 2nd - VulnHub CTF! This time we will be tackling Stapler: 1!
So if you’re ready… let’s strap in - and pwn this box!

As mentioned previously- if you want to learn more about the proper procedures and steps then I suggest you read the PTES Technical Guidelines.
So let’s start the process by running netdiscover on our network to find the IP of our Target VM.
Currently scanning: 192.168.23.0/16 | Screen View: Unique Hosts
4 Captured ARP Req/Rep packets, from 4 hosts. Total size: 240

192.168.1.13 08:00:27:3d:e7:21 1 60 Cadmus Computer Systems
The IP of 192.168.1.13 will be our target. The next step will be to run an nmap scan on our target, so that we can enumerate any open ports, services, versions, and OS’s.

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 151.02 seconds We can see that there are a ton of valuable (and possibly vulnerable) ports open: including FTP, NetBIOS (w/ SMB Shares), MySQL, and Port 12380 running a Web Server (Apache HTTPD).
The first thing that caught my eye was the fact that FTP was allowing anonymous logins. So I made this my first target. Let’s go ahead and login to FTP with the username: anonymous and the password: anonymous.
root@kali:~# ftp 192.168.1.13 Connected to 192.168.1.13. 220- 220-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 220-| Harry, make sure to update the banner when you get a chance to show who has access here | 220-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 220- 220 Name (192.168.1.13:root): anonymous 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> Nice! We were able to successfully login to the hosts FTP service as anonymous. At this point, I went ahead to check and see if there aren’t any files stored on the FTP server that I can use.
ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Here comes the directory listing. -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 107 Jun 03 23:06 note 226 Directory send OK. ftp> get note local: note remote: note 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for note (107 bytes). 226 Transfer complete. 107 bytes received in 0.00 secs (100.3767 kB/s) ftp> exit
221 Goodbye. We can see that after looking though the FTP server, we come across a file called note. What I did is call the get command to download the file back to our host. From out host, we can open the file and see what it contains.
root@kali:~# cat note Elly, make sure you update the payload information. Leave it in your FTP account once you’re are done, John. Nothing too interesting in there - but we do have a name. We can save this name for later uses; such as user enumeration, brute forcing, etc.
After FTP, I followed up with SSH to see if I can’t log in with root - maybe there was a misconfiguration that we could take advantage of.
root@kali:~# ssh root@192.168.1.13
~ Barry, don't forget to put a message here ~
root@192.168.1.13's password: Permission denied, please try again. This unfortunately didn’t provide me with anything - except a name - so I moved on.
My next target focused around TCP port 139, which was an open netbios-ssn. I decided to use smbclient to see if I can’t enumerate any of the SMB Shares on the target. When prompted for the root password, I just typed in root.
root@kali:~# smbclient -L 192.168.1.13 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Enter root's password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.9-Ubuntu]

Workgroup Master --------- -------
WORKGROUP RED As we can see, there are 2 active shares - kathy, and tmp. The thing that really caught my attention was the comment - Fred, What are we doing here?. This led me to believe that Fred had access to kathy’s share. So what I attempted to do was to connect to kathy’s share, using the networked user/computer fred.
root@kali:~# smbclient //fred/kathy -I 192.168.1.13 -N WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.9-Ubuntu] smb: \> ls

Let’s open to-do-list.txt and the ls file to see if we can’t find anything interesting.
root@kali:~# cat to-do-list.txt I'm making sure to backup anything important for Initech, Kathy root@kali:~# cat ls .: total 12.0K drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4.0K Jun 5 16:32 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4.0K Jun 3 22:06 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 5 16:32 ls drwx------ 3 root root 4.0K Jun 5 15:32 systemd-private-df2bff9b90164a2eadc490c0b8f76087-systemd-timesyncd.service-vFKoxJ From the to-do-list we have another name, and from LS it seems we have a directory listing of a time synchronization daemon… for now I will skip this as nothing showed up in the Samba Enumeration, and the information is rather useless.
Okay - so we already enumerated a few of the file daemons, and connection based daemons. We will move on and try to access the Apache web server this time. We can navigate to 192.168.1.13:12380 to access the Apache Web Server. Once done, we will be presented with the following.
My first choice was to look at the websites source code to see if there aren’t any clues left… unfortunately there wasn’t. So I decided to fire up and run a nikto scan on the web server to check for any vulnerabilities and possible misconfigurations.
root@kali:~# nikto -h 192.168.1.13:12380 - Nikto v2.1.6

+ 1 host(s) tested Interestingly enough, I got presented with 4 directories: /phpmyadin/, /blogblog/, /admin112233/, and of course /robots.txt.
My initial attempts to try and navigate to the directories were futile, as the page kept going back to the home page. So I decided to add https:// before the IP and try again. I attempted to access /robots.txt first, so I entered the following url https://192.168.1.13:12380/robots.txt in my browser, and behold - I got the robots.txt page!
User-agent: * Disallow: /admin112233/ Disallow: /blogblog/ From here, I decided to try and navigate to /admin112233/ as it seemed the most interesting to me.
Damnit! Okay, some humor is always great - but this nearly gave me a heart attack…. So what did we learn today? DISABLE JAVA!
Once I got over the fact that I could have been hooked, I attempted to navigate the /blogblog/ page.
The blog really didn’t contain much information for us - except a few names - as well as the name of the poster (great for future enumeration or brute forcing tactics - if we go that route). I also saw that the page contained a “login” section. Navigating to the login took me to a WordPress login page… so instead of logging in, I decided to run a WPScan and see if I can’t enumerate any users, plugins, and vulnerabilities.

This is great! Not only did we find a ton of users (which seem to correlate to the names we found earlier) but we also found a few XSS Vulnerabilities, a Path Traversal Vulnerability and a few plugins that we can use to research for possible vulnerable entry points.
After doing some research, I found out that the advanced-video-embed-embed-videos-or-playlists was vulnerable to a LFI Exploit. Which can be found here!
Upon downloading the exploit, and running it, I was presented with an SSL error… So I went ahead and edited the code to include the following
import ssl ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context Once it ran successfully - I navigated to https://192.168.1.13:12380/blogblog/wp-content/uploads/ and was presented with a .jpeg file.
