if some gentle soul is willing to guide me through the cursed valley of the couchdb … I can already look inside but still lost where to look …
pls pm

I need some help for Grammar web challenge

This box was a school !
finally root conquered !

I am feeling stupid for not being able to get the initial foothold… anyone could PM me?

Hint on getting foothold: 1) yes it does require research, 2) common public approaches probably won’t work 3) but yes there is a public example out there 4) don’t copy and paste. If you need to copy and paste, base64 if your friend. 5) probably want to test locally 6) need to be able to read and understand the code

Owned. Great box all around. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking back, it’s not hard once you know the paths. Root is trivial. You’re main difficulties are entirely going to be getting user. Just keep at it. PM for hints.

If anyone can help with getting RCE, send me a PM. Been trying a lot of different things, but all have resulted in 500 errors.

PM’d

Anyone mind taking a look at my exploit script, it worked ONCE in a test environment and then went back to triggering 500s. I must have tweaked something bone-headed and broke it.

Got RCE but i’m stuck on user privesc, got hash but can’t crack it. Can anyone PM for any hints please?

Any tips on the initial foothold? I’ve been studying both the DB found and how to “link” it somehow to the repository, still no clue at all. I’ve never had to deal with these. ■■■■, I don’t even know that’s the way.

Anyone free for me to quiz about exploiting this?

got user.txt, stuck on privesc, can anyone give a hint in PM?

To everyone stuck at their pickled payload not working when submitted to the site: try using a popular http library for the submission of your pickled code. Copy & pasting the payload from the terminal + bad url encoding fucks up the payload, with the mentioned library it worked flawlessly.

Dear baby Jesus this was the best advice in this thread (related to pickle anyways). Thanks nscur0.

Hello folks! Can someone DM me for a nudge on the user.txt? I got some footfold, found a hash and gained admin access to couchdb. Would also appreciate to exchange ideas as well :smiley: .

The best machine so far. Learn a lot, thx @overcast

Got user.txt, can anyone PM me for privesc to root please?

I tried it for hours… I don’t want to make spoilers so i prefer via PM.

Hey, Can Anyone help me with the intial foothold. I’ve been able to get a low privileged shell as www-data user but can’t seem to find a way to do privilege escalation as Homer user. Any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated!
