Premise

In this video walkthrough, we demonstrated how vulnerable WordPress plugins would lead to a complete system compromise. We then escalated our privileges by taking advantage of security misconfigurations in the permissions. We used So simple box from Vulnhub for this walkthrough.

Machine Description

This is an easy level VM with some rabbitholes. Enumeration is key to find your way in. There are three flags (2 user and 1 root flag).

The VM is tested on Virtualbox. After the startup it shows the IP address.

Share your rootflag with me on Twitter: @roelvb79

Good luck and have fun!

This works better with VirtualBox rather than VMware
