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.

This article guides users through completing the Oopsie machine challenge on Hack The Box. The steps outline a hacking scenario, from initial connection testing and scanning to exploiting vulnerabilities in a web application, including IDOR, cookie manipulation, and SUID exploitation, ultimately leading to gaining admin access and finally grabbing the root flag.
