Certified - Hack The Box

We began with the low-privileged user JUDITH.MADER@CERTIFIED.HTB, who had the ability to modify the owner of MANAGEMENT@CERTIFIED.HTB. By changing ownership, we added a controlled user to this group, escalating privileges. Next, we exploited GenericWrite permissions of MANAGEMENT@CERTIFIED.HTB over MANAGEMENT_SVC@CERTIFIED.HTB, allowing us to modify attributes and gain access as MANAGEMENT_SVC.

This account had GenericAll over CA_OPERATOR@CERTIFIED.HTB, enabling a full takeover. With control over CA_OPERATOR, we identified potential privileges related to Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). Using this, we requested a certificate for the Administrator account, obtained a TGT and extracted the NT hash, allowing us to authenticate as Administrator on the Domain Controller (DC) and achieve full domain compromise.

User attack path

Attack path

BloodHound Findings & Exploitation Path

  • JUDITH.MADER@CERTIFIED.HTB → Can modify the owner of MANAGEMENT@CERTIFIED.HTB.
  • MANAGEMENT@CERTIFIED.HTB → Has GenericWrite over MANAGEMENT_SVC@CERTIFIED.HTB.
  • MANAGEMENT_SVC@CERTIFIED.HTB → Has GenericAll over CA_OPERATOR@CERTIFIED.HTB.

Attack Flow

  • Modify MANAGEMENT@CERTIFIED.HTB ownership to gain control.
  • Abuse GenericWrite to modify MANAGEMENT_SVC and escalate privileges.
  • Leverage GenericAll to take over CA_OPERATOR, potentially leading to further AD privilege escalation.

The attack starts with JUDITH.MADER, who has the ability to change the owner of the Management group. By transferring ownership to that user, JUDITH.MADER gains full control over the group. Next, GenericAll permissions are granted to Management, allowing JUDITH.MADER to modify its members and add JUDITH.MADER to the group. Since Management group members have GenericWrite on Management_SVC, JUDITH.MADER can abuse this permission to perform a Shadow Credentials attack. Using Certipy, JUDITH.MADER can add a malicious Key Credential to Management_SVC, retrieves a TGT & NT hash, and authenticates as that user. Finally, since Management_SVC has GenericAll over CA_Operator, JUDITH.MADER can take full control of CA_Operator.

User

Change Ownership of the Management Group:
→ Transfers ownership of the Management group to judith.mader, allowing full control over the group.

The user MANAGEMENT_SVC@CERTIFIED.HTB has GenericAll privileges to the user CA_OPERATOR@CERTIFIED.HTB.
With Management_SVC having GenericAll on CA_Operator, we fully control the account. Using the NT hash from Shadow Credentials, we authenticate as CA_Operator.
