Compromising the Era HTB machine involved chaining multiple weaknesses across the web layer and system layer. Initial access was obtained through an IDOR flaw in a file-sharing platform, allowing unrestricted file retrieval by enumerating numeric IDs. Leaked backups exposed source code, plaintext credentials, and an SSH private key, enabling lateral movement as eric. Further analysis uncovered a root-executed integrity-check binary in a world-writable directory. By extracting its signature, injecting it into a backdoored replacement, and waiting for the cron job to trigger, privileged execution was achieved. A resulting callback delivered full root access and allowed retrieval of the final flag.
