    Hello Heath !
    Grimmie has setup the test website for the new academy.
    I told him not to use the same password everywhere, he will change it ASAP. I couldn't create a user via the admin panel, so instead I inserted directly into the database with the following command:
    
    INSERT INTO `students` (`StudentRegno`, `studentPhoto`, `password`, `studentName`, `pincode`, `session`, `department`, `semester`, `cgpa`, `creationdate`, `updationDate`) VALUES
    ('10201321', '', 'cd73502828457d15655bbd7a63fb0bc8', 'Rum Ham', '777777', '', '', '', '7.60', '2021-05-29 14:36:56', '');

    The StudentRegno number is what you use for login.
    Le me know what you think of this open-source project, it's from 2020 so it should be secure... right ?
    We can always adapt it to our needs.

- Navigate CMS v2.8

Google for navigate cms exploit
- Navigate CMS - (Unauthenticated) Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)
- Navigate CMS Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

This module exploits insufficient sanitization in the database::protect method, of Navigate CMS versions 2.8 and prior, to bypass authentication. The module then uses a path traversal vulnerability in navigate_upload.php that allows authenticated users to upload PHP files to arbitrary locations. Together these vulnerabilities allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code remotely. This module was tested against Navigate CMS 2.8.

/usr/bin/gpasswd

Go to GTFOBins and check for php SUID

If the binary has the SUID bit set, it does not drop the elevated privileges and may be abused to access the file system, escalate or maintain privileged access as a SUID backdoor. If it is used to run sh -p, omit the -p argument on systems like Debian (<= Stretch) that allow the default sh shell to run with SUID privileges.

This example creates a local SUID copy of the binary and runs it to maintain elevated privileges. To interact with an existing SUID binary skip the first command and run the program using its original path.

/usr/bin/php7.3 -r "pcntl_exec('/bin/sh', ['-p']);"

# This will run /bin/sh as root user
