Writeups & Walkthroughs

Forest

Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

Full Active Directory domain compromise: anonymous LDAP enumeration into AS-REP Roasting, then nested-group and WriteDACL abuse to self-grant DCSync rights and Pass-the-Hash as Administrator.

Paperwork

Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

A Linux box built entirely around hand-rolled legacy printer protocols. Chains an LPD shell injection into a JetDirect path traversal for SSH key injection, then abuses a forensic honeypot's SCM_RIGHTS FD leak to reach root.

HackTheBox Jul 2026

A Next.js dashboard owned through a framework-level bug: unauthenticated RCE via CVE-2025-55182 ("React2Shell"), then SQLite credential theft and an MD5 crack, escalating to root by abusing a debug-mode Node.js process over the Chrome DevTools Protocol.

Enigma

Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

A chain of corporate misconfigurations: an unauthenticated NFS share leaks onboarding creds, password reuse opens an OpenSTAManager CRM, and an authenticated file-upload RCE (CVE-2026-38751) lands a foothold — escalating to root via a shell-injectable OliveTin action running unauthenticated on localhost.

Nexus

Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

A leaked DB password buried in Gitea commit history and a Krayin CRM file-upload RCE (CVE-2026-38526) chain into a foothold — then root falls to a hand-crafted git tree object smuggling a path-traversal filename past a root-run template sync script.

Orion

Very Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

An unauthenticated Craft CMS preauth RCE (CVE-2025-32432) via a Yii2 behavior gadget and access-log poisoning lands a foothold, then a cracked admin hash opens SSH — and root falls to a telnetd argument-injection auth bypass (CVE-2026-24061) where a crafted USER value becomes login -f root.

Reset

Easy
HackTheBox Jul 2026

A password-reset endpoint hands back the new password in its response, opening a log-viewer LFI that's poisoned via the User-Agent for RCE — then legacy rservices trust (hosts.equiv) and a sudo nano GTFOBins escape chain all the way to root.
