We have one port open.

  • Port 8080: running Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1

Before we move on to enumeration, let’s make some mental notes about the scan results.

  • Port 8080 is running Apache Tomcat and the nmap scan found the /manager/html page, which is the login page to the Manager interface. The nikto scan identified that this page is using the default credentials tomcat/s3cret. Apache Tomcat by design allows you to run code, so we can simply deploy a war file that sends a reverse shell back to our attack machine.

Exploitation:

Visit the /manager/html page and log in with the credentials tomcat/s3cret.

Generate a war file that contains a reverse shell using msfvenom.

Upload the file on the Tomcat Application Manager and deploy it. Set up a listener on the target machine.

Click on the war file in the Tomcat Application Manager to execute our shell.

We get a shell with SYSTEM privileges! That was easy! We don’t even have to escalate our privileges for this box.
