We started by exploiting a WordPress plugin vulnerability (CVE-2023-26326) to upload files, followed by a file read vulnerability (CVE-2024-2961) for remote code execution. From there, we cracked the database credentials, gained SSH access as the shawking user, and leveraged a vulnerable API endpoint to escalate to root. This highlights how overlooked configurations and service misconfigurations can lead to a full server compromise.
