Target: Timelapse (10.129.5.228)OS: Windows Difficulty: Easy Attack Vectors: SMB Enumeration -> Archive Cracking -> SSL Certificate Extraction -> WinRM Access -> LAPS Privilege Escalation
Executive Summary
Assessment Date: January 30, 2026 Risk Level: CRITICAL Author: R00t3dbyFa17h / Nicholas Mullenski
Overview
An initial assessment of the “Timelapse” server has identified critical vulnerabilities stemming from improper handling of sensitive backup files and weak internal permission structures. The host, running a Windows environment, exposes an SMB share containing encrypted SSL certificates. Initial reconnaissance led to the recovery of a PFX file, which, once cracked, allowed for authentication via WinRM.
Key Findings (Preliminary):
- Information Disclosure: A backup ZIP file containing a PFX certificate was left accessible on a public SMB share.
- Weak Cryptography: The password protecting the SSL certificate was susceptible to dictionary attacks.
- Cleartext Credentials: PowerShell history files contained…
