Privilege Escalation
Upon entrance on the system I quickly upgraded my shell using multi/handler and transfered my Privilege Escalation checkers.
I used winPEAS but I didn't come across anything. I transferred PowerUp.ps1 and I came across two ways of getting an administrator shell.
The first path was through an Unquoted Service Path that I was not able to exploit because I did not have write permissions on the folder that I was supposed to use to escalate.
The second path which was through DLL hijacking worked.
We see that there is a writeable dll on the C:\Python\Scripts\ directory.
How do we exploit this? Well this dll fires up everytime the computer starts so if we replace the dll with a malicious reverse shell.
Transferred the DLL, and overwriting the existing one.
Restarted the computer and fired up my listener and got a reverse shell with nt authority system privileges.
