Intermediate Linux box where a null-auth SMB share and the Cassandra Web directory traversal (EDB-49362) leak a FreeSWITCH event socket password and a reused credential, chained into FreeSWITCH command execution (EDB-47799) and SSH, then a sudo rule that reruns Cassandra Web as root leads to an SSH key and root.
Intermediate Windows box where a guessed Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager login leads to an authenticated remote code execution exploit, and the unpatched SMBGhost (CVE-2020-0796) SMBv3 kernel exploit then escalates to SYSTEM.
Intermediate Linux box chaining a Responsive Filemanager path traversal to leak OpenEMR's database credentials, cracking the dumped admin bcrypt hash for an authenticated OpenEMR RCE, then reusing the database password to escalate to root.
Easy Windows box where SmarterMail build 6919 on a non-standard port is hit directly with a public remote code execution exploit for an immediate SYSTEM shell, with no further privilege escalation required.
Intermediate Linux box where File Browser's default credentials and an enabled shell feature give command execution, an uploaded SSH key gives a foothold as david, and a SUID aa-exec binary gives root through GTFOBins.
Intermediate Windows box where an unauthenticated H2 database console gives remote code execution through a JNI DLL write, and SeImpersonatePrivilege is escalated to SYSTEM with GodPotato.
Easy Windows box, an unpatched Windows Server 2008 SP1 host flagged by nmap's SMB vulnerability scripts and taken with the MS09-050 SMBv2 negotiate function index overflow (CVE-2009-3103) for a direct, unauthenticated SYSTEM shell.
Easy Windows box, an unpatched Windows Server 2008 SP1 host where the MS09-050 SMBv2 negotiate function index overflow (CVE-2009-3103) gives an unauthenticated SYSTEM shell in a single step.
Easy Windows box where an unauthenticated Remote Mouse 3.008 RCE gives a user shell, a base64-encoded saved FileZilla password gives RDP access, and a Remote Mouse file-dialog trick (CVE-2021-35448) escalates to Administrator.
Intermediate Linux box running PluXML 5.8.7 with default admin credentials, exploited through the CVE-2022-25018 static-page PHP injection for a www-data shell, then escalated to root via a plaintext password left in local mail.
Intermediate Linux box running Simple PHP Photo Gallery 0.7, exploited via remote file inclusion for a www-data shell, then escalated to root through a base64-encoded MySQL password reused for SSH and PwnKit (CVE-2021-4034).
Intermediate Linux box running Gitea 1.7.5 with open registration, exploited via the CVE-2019-11229 Git hook RCE to plant an SSH key, then escalated to root through a writable /usr/local/bin ahead of the cron PATH.
Intermediate Linux box where anonymous FTP write access and an unauthenticated Redis instance combine for code execution via Redis MODULE LOAD, then a shared-object hijack of a root cron job's LD_LIBRARY_PATH for root.
Intermediate Linux box running an outdated Zenphoto gallery with a public RCE exploit for a www-data shell, escalated to root through a CVE-2010-3904 kernel exploit in the RDS protocol.
Easy Linux box running a vulnerable Drupal 7 site, exploited with Drupalgeddon2 (CVE-2018-7600) for a www-data shell, then escalated to root through a SUID find binary using a GTFOBins technique.
Easy Linux box running CodoForum v5.1 with default admin credentials, exploited via the CVE-2022-31854 authenticated file-upload RCE for a www-data shell, then escalated to root by reusing database credentials found in the web config.
Easy Linux box running an unauthenticated changedetection.io v0.45.1, exploited through a Jinja2 server-side template injection in the notification body (CVE-2024-32651). The application runs as root, so the SSTI yields a direct root shell with no privilege escalation.
Easy Linux box running Apache APISIX 2.8, exploited with CVE-2022-24112 for a low-privileged shell, then escalated to root through an APT Update Pre-Invoke hook in a writable apt.conf.d run by a root cron job.
Easy Linux box where default Nextcloud credentials expose the Issue Tracker source, revealing a SQL injection. A phpinfo page shows the server runs as root from /srv/http, so an INTO OUTFILE webshell gives code execution as root with no privilege escalation.
Easy Linux box running FuguHub 8.1, exploited via CVE-2023-24078 by claiming admin through the config wizard and uploading a Lua Server Pages reverse shell. FuguHub runs as root, so the shell lands as root directly with no privilege escalation.
Easy Linux box chaining a User-Agent-gated local file inclusion with a writable anonymous FTP directory to upload and include a PHP webshell for RCE, then abusing a custom SUID binary's relative whoami call with a PATH hijack for root.
Easy Linux box running Gerapy v0.9.7 with default admin credentials, exploited via the CVE-2021-32849 authenticated RCE for a shell as app, then escalated to root through a python3.10 binary carrying the cap_setuid capability.
Easy Linux box where an mPDF HTML-to-PDF converter leaks a config file through its annotation file-read, giving SSH credentials. A localhost Webmin 1.996 is then exploited with its authenticated RCE (CVE-2022-36446), which runs as root, for a root shell.
Easy Linux box running ZoneMinder v1.29.0, exploited through a SQL injection in the limit parameter. The database runs as root, so sqlmap's os-shell injects a UDF and executes commands as root directly, with no separate privilege escalation.
