Machine Synopsis

Writeup is an easy difficulty Linux box with DoS protection in place to prevent brute forcing. A CMS susceptible to a SQL injection vulnerability is found, which is leveraged to gain user credentials. The user is found to be in a non-default group, which has write access to part of the PATH. A path hijacking results in escalation of privileges to root.
