RedCross From HackTheBox was like a maze, with several different paths to achieve shell and root. We’ll start by listing a website and demonstrating two distinct techniques, SQL injection and XSS, for obtaining a cookie that may be used to access the admin panel. Then, using either an exploit in the Haraka SMTP server or an injection into a webpage and manipulation of the PostgreSQL database that manages the users in the ssh jail, We’ll gain access to the box as Penelope. Finally, We’ll demonstrate three different ways to escalate to root, as well as two additional approaches that involve the database among them.
