Sweettooth Inc Writeup

With this writeup I decided to not do it with screenshots but rather code snippets. It does look a bit messy. I think next time I will stick to screenshots too.

With this challenge we had to answer some questions while getting the user.txt and root.txt flags.

TASK 2 - Enumeration

  1. Do a TCP portscan. What is the name of the database software running on one of these ports?

I kicked off a RustScan and passed NMAP through it.

From the scan we see the following ports open:

  • 111 : RPC INFO
  • 2222 : SSH
  • 8086 : HTTP
  • 47339 : UNKNOWN

From port 8086 we can see that there is an InfluxDB on this port. We have the answer for the first question here.

TASK 3 - Database exploration and user flag

Here we get given 5 questions to answer.

  1. What is the database user you find?
  2. What was the temperature of the water tank atΒ 1621346400Β (UTC Unix Timestamp)?
  3. What is the highest rpm the motor of the mixer reached?
  4. What username do you find in one of the databases?
  5. user.txt

Let us start enumerating port 8086. For this room I decided to rather use command line rather than a web browser and Burp.

curl 10.10.243.165:8086

We get a 404. Time to see if we can find any directories or files with feroxbuster.

[####################] - 1m     29999/29999   290/s   http://10.10.243.165:8086

We find two directories that don’t return anything. /status and /ping

The other two /query and /write gives us the following

1
2
curl http://10.10.243.165:8086/query
{"error":"unable to parse authentication credentials"}
1
2
curl http://10.10.243.165:8086/write
Method Not Allowed

Seems we require authentication credentials.

After some research and googling, there was the following article

https://www.komodosec.com/post/when-all-else-fails-find-a-0-day

You can read up on this exploit in the article but essentially we will be creating our own JWT token and with that we will be able to send queries to InfluxDB

From the article, our first step is to get the username.

1
2
3
4
curl http://10.10.243.165:8086/debug/requests 
{
"o5yY6yya:127.0.0.1": {"writes":2,"queries":2}
}

With this, we find the username for Question 1 for Task 2.

Now for the JWT token.

We go to https://jwt.io/

This is the format of the JWT token.

1
2
3
header - {"alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWW"} 
payload - {"username":"username","exp":1727388403} 
signature - HMACSHA256(base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +base64UrlEncode(payload),<leave this field empty>) 

The expiry date is in the form of epoch time. To convert the time to epoch time we can do it here - https://www.epochconverter.com/ Just make sure you set the time to in the future so that the JWT token does not expire. I set mine to somewhere in 2024.

It should look something like this.

JWT TOKEN

Now we can send queries to InfluxDB.

It took a bit to understand how to query the API but eventually managed reading the following documentation - https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/tools/api/

We can send the following to list the databases.

NOTE: I AM PIPING THE QUERY TO JQ TO MAKE THE OUTPUT MORE READABLE. YOU WILL HAVE TO INSTALL IT.

To query for β€œtables” inside the databases, instead of using show tables, like we would use with MySQL or PostgreSQL, we need to use show measurements

Question 2 had us look for something at an certain EPOC time. Going to https://www.epochconverter.com/ we enter the EPOC time to match the time better to answer the question and we just look at the corrospoding date and we get the temperature.

It can be found with the following query on the tanks database, in the water_tank bucket.

Question 3’s answer can be found in the mixer database, in the mixer_stats bucket.

We now have some credentials that looks to be the ssh credentials?

TASK 4 - Privilege escalation

Now we need to find /root/root.txt

First thing I noticed was that we were in a docker image and that there was the following process running from a ps -ef

1
uzJk6Ry+  6941    16  0 19:57 ?        00:00:00 socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/var/run/docker.sock

socat was exposing /var/run.docker.sock on port 8080. Having this exposed allows us to query Docker. We do not have the Docker command available on the remote machine so the easiest way to do this would be to leverage this by using SSH port forwarding to my machine to expose port 8080. We would need to make sure we have the Docker CLI tools available on our own machine.

Let us setup the tunnel.

1
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 uzJk6Ry98d8C@10.10.243.165 -p 2222

Now we can use the Docker command to communicate with the Docker instance.

Let’s see what we have

We have two docker images.

sweettoothinc and influxdb:1.3.0

I went down a rabbit hole with an article I read "Escaping the Whale" and was trying to use that method to access the containers with not much luck but it was by far easier than that.

We can actually just run the following command to access the sweettoothinc instance.

docker -H localhost:8080 exec -it sweettoothinc sh

4 -rw-r--r--  1 root root   22 May 18 14:50 root.txt

TASK 5 - Escape!

For the final /root/root.txt we needed just to access the other container.

All in all it was a fun little challenge and spent some time reading and going down rabbit holes which I can see now, I tend to overthink things.
