HTB | Base | Summary:
We test connectivity, scan, and enumerate the target website. We discover a PHP type juggling vulnerability and exploit it to gain access to the admin file uploads directory. Using this access, we upload a web shell via the upload functionality. Enumerating the system with our new tool, we find clear text credentials that grant us user-level SSH access. We then escalate to root by exploiting sudo using find. Finally, we grab the root flag.
