# Exploitation

After gaining admin access to the mongo database I updated the password of the nodebb application 

{% embed url="<https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/49813>" %}

After generating our own id*rsa and replacing it with the root id*Rsa we were able to log in as root.&#x20;

```
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Your identification has been saved in /home/kali/.ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in /home/kali/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:77ufSzZu/0b3gdzFwZOzihQewkazcg5T4qZ19is9l2M kali@kali
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 3072]----+
