An AngularJS CSTI steals admin cookies; a Django SQL Explorer load_extension RCE gives a foothold, and a .NET AppDomainManager injection into a SYSTEM service gives root.

How it went

  1. 0
    nmap

    nmap shows IIS (an ARR reverse proxy) and WinRM fronting two Django apps, eloquia.htb and qooqle.htb.

  2. 1
    AngularJS CSTI

    An AngularJS CSTI in article content bypasses CSP via ng-focus and $event.view; a reported article steals the admin bot's cookies.

  3. 2
    load_extension

    Admin's Django SQL Explorer plus a DLL uploaded as an article banner enables a SQLite load_extension RCE as eloquia\web.

  4. 3
    DPAPI creds

    Decrypting the web user's Edge DPAPI store recovers Olivia.KAT's password, used via LogonUserW impersonation.

  5. 4
    AppDomainMgr

    Olivia.KAT can write the Failure2Ban service directory; a .NET AppDomainManager injection runs as SYSTEM when the service restarts.
