RELEASEDMachine Synopsis
Dog is an easy-rated Linux machine that involves reading sensitive information through an exposed git repository and exposing credentials to get administrator access to `BackdropCMS`. The admin privileges allow an attacker to exploit Remote Code Execution by uploading a malicious archive containing a `PHP` backdoor to gain an initial foothold. The `johncusack` user account also reuses the `BackdropCMS` password. After compromising the `johncusack` account, the attacker finds that the user can run the `bee` executable with `sudo` privileges, which allows the attacker to gain root privileges.
