Challenge Overview

ECCMedCare is a modern healthcare provider that operates a comprehensive web portal for managing patient appointments, doctor schedules, and receptionist tasks. The portal streamlines operations by offering role-based access for patients, receptionists, and doctors. As a security consultant, you have been engaged to perform a penetration test on this application to identify potential vulnerabilities that could compromise the system. The target machine runs Ubuntu OS with the IP address 10.10.1.111. The objective is to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, chaining them together to escalate privileges to an administrator. The final goal is to gain full system compromise and retrieve the flag.

What You Will Learn

  • Advanced web application enumeration and request manipulation, using tools like Burp Suite to intercept, modify, and replay HTTP requests for vulnerability discovery.
  • Exploiting Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) to escalate privileges within the application by accessing unauthorized resources or modifying role parameters.
  • Identifying and bypassing weak client-side authentication mechanisms, such as manipulating local storage, cookies, or hidden fields to gain elevated access.
  • Leveraging a file upload vulnerability to deploy a reverse shell and gain initial system-level access on the Ubuntu server (10.10.1.111).
  • Performing Linux privilege escalation, including exploiting misconfigured sudo permissions and vulnerable cron jobs to escalate to root and achieve full system compromise.
