{% hint style="warning" %} **JuicyPotato doesn't work** on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 build 1809 onwards. However, [**PrintSpoofer**](https://github.com/itm4n/PrintSpoofer) and [**RoguePotato**](https://github.com/antonioCoco/RoguePotato) can be used to **leverage the same privileges and gain `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`** level access. _**Check:**_ {% endhint %} {% content-ref url="roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md" %} [roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md](roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Juicy Potato (abusing the golden privileges) _A sugared version of_ [_RottenPotatoNG_](https://github.com/breenmachine/RottenPotatoNG)_, with a bit of juice, i.e. **another Local Privilege Escalation tool, from a Windows Service Accounts to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM**_ #### You can download juicypotato from [https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ohpe/juicy-potato/build/artifacts](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ohpe/juicy-potato/build/artifacts) ### Summary [RottenPotatoNG](https://github.com/breenmachine/RottenPotatoNG) and its [variants](https://github.com/decoder-it/lonelypotato) leverages the privilege escalation chain based on [`BITS`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb968799\(v=vs.85\).aspx) [service](https://github.com/breenmachine/RottenPotatoNG/blob/4eefb0dd89decb9763f2bf52c7a067440a9ec1f0/RottenPotatoEXE/MSFRottenPotato/MSFRottenPotato.cpp#L126) having the MiTM listener on `127.0.0.1:6666` and when you have `SeImpersonate` or `SeAssignPrimaryToken` privileges. During a Windows build review we found a setup where `BITS` was intentionally disabled and port `6666` was taken. We decided to weaponize [RottenPotatoNG](https://github.com/breenmachine/RottenPotatoNG): **Say hello to Juicy Potato**. > For the theory, see [Rotten Potato - Privilege Escalation from Service Accounts to SYSTEM](https://foxglovesecurity.com/2016/09/26/rotten-potato-privilege-escalation-from-service-accounts-to-system/) and follow the chain of links and references. We discovered that, other than `BITS` there are a several COM servers we can abuse. They just need to: 1. be instantiable by the current user, normally a “service user” which has impersonation privileges 2. implement the `IMarshal` interface 3. run as an elevated user (SYSTEM, Administrator, …) After some testing we obtained and tested an extensive list of [interesting CLSID’s](http://ohpe.it/juicy-potato/CLSID/) on several Windows versions. ### Juicy details JuicyPotato allows you to: * **Target CLSID** _pick any CLSID you want._ [_Here_](http://ohpe.it/juicy-potato/CLSID/) _you can find the list organized by OS._ * **COM Listening port** _define COM listening port you prefer (instead of the marshalled hardcoded 6666)_ * **COM Listening IP address** _bind the server on any IP_ * **Process creation mode** _depending on the impersonated user’s privileges you can choose from:_ * `CreateProcessWithToken` (needs `SeImpersonate`) * `CreateProcessAsUser` (needs `SeAssignPrimaryToken`) * `both` * **Process to launch** _launch an executable or script if the exploitation succeeds_ * **Process Argument** _customize the launched process arguments_ * **RPC Server address** _for a stealthy approach you can authenticate to an external RPC server_ * **RPC Server port** _useful if you want to authenticate to an external server and firewall is blocking port `135`…_ * **TEST mode** _mainly for testing purposes, i.e. testing CLSIDs. It creates the DCOM and prints the user of token. See_ [_here for testing_](http://ohpe.it/juicy-potato/Test/) ### Usage ``` T:\>JuicyPotato.exe JuicyPotato v0.1 Mandatory args: -t createprocess call: CreateProcessWithTokenW, CreateProcessAsUser, <*> try both -p : program to launch -l : COM server listen port Optional args: -m : COM server listen address (default 127.0.0.1) -a : command line argument to pass to program (default NULL) -k : RPC server ip address (default 127.0.0.1) -n : RPC server listen port (default 135) ``` ### Final thoughts If the user has `SeImpersonate` or `SeAssignPrimaryToken` privileges then you are **SYSTEM**. It’s nearly impossible to prevent the abuse of all these COM Servers. You could think about modifying the permissions of these objects via `DCOMCNFG` but good luck, this is gonna be challenging. The actual solution is to protect sensitive accounts and applications which run under the `* SERVICE` accounts. Stopping `DCOM` would certainly inhibit this exploit but could have a serious impact on the underlying OS.

Usually, it takes multiple attempts to find a **working CLSID**. To get a list of CLSIDs to try for a specific operating system, you should visit this page: {% embed url="https://ohpe.it/juicy-potato/CLSID/" %} ### **Checking CLSIDs** First, you will need some executables apart from juicypotato.exe. Download [Join-Object.ps1](https://github.com/ohpe/juicy-potato/blob/master/CLSID/utils/Join-Object.ps1) and load it into your PS session, and download and execute [GetCLSID.ps1](https://github.com/ohpe/juicy-potato/blob/master/CLSID/GetCLSID.ps1). That script will create a list of possible CLSIDs to test. Then download [test\_clsid.bat ](https://github.com/ohpe/juicy-potato/blob/master/Test/test\_clsid.bat)(change the path to the CLSID list and to the juicypotato executable) and execute it. It will start trying every CLSID, and **when the port number changes, it will mean that the CLSID worked**. **Check** the working CLSIDs **using the parameter -c**
