SQL injection, PHP reverse shell upload, mysqldump and PATH injection

Enumeration

As always, let's start with an nmap:

$ sudo nmap -sS -n -p- -sV -sC -oN depth.nmp 10.10.10.185

PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp open  ssh     OpenSSH 7.6p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.3 (Ubuntu Linux; protocol 2.0)

Only ports 22 and 80. Add magic.htb to your /etc/hosts and let's check out the website.

HTTP

There's definitely a lot going on. By analysing the source we can see some images are in the images/uploads/ folder, which is useful for later. Let's click the Login button at the bottom left.

First thing's first, let's try the default admin:admin. We get told it's invalid.

Now we can mess with the input to test for SQL injection. Tampering with a payload such as '<>:32;4#::!@$":' doesn't tell us it's invalid; perhaps it's having an affect?

If we try a basic payload such as admin'#, what happens? The logic here is it logs in with the username admin and comments out the password check to always successfully log us in, essentially making it

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin'#' AND PASSWORD = ''

Success!
