介绍

# CVE-2025-27591-Below

## 📌 Description

This is a **proof-of-concept (PoC)** exploit for **CVE-2025-27591**, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the `below` system monitor tool.

The issue arises from unsafe handling of log files (`/var/log/below/error_root.log`) when executed with elevated privileges. By abusing this, an attacker can perform a **symlink attack** and inject a malicious user into `/etc/passwd`, effectively granting root access.

## ⚙️ Affected

- **Binary**: `/usr/bin/below`
- **Requires**: `sudo` permission to run `below record`
- **Tested on**: HTB machine (specific name withheld)

## 🔧 Exploit Steps

1. **Delete** the target log file (if it exists)
2. **Create a symlink**: `/var/log/below/error_root.log → /etc/passwd`
3. **Run the vulnerable command**: `sudo /usr/bin/below record`
4. **Append a root-level user** to `/etc/passwd`
5. **Verify** the user was created
6. **Spawn a root shell** as the injected user


## 🚀 Exploitation Steps

1. **Clone this repository**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/Thekin-ctrl/CVE-2025-27591-Below.git
   cd CVE-2025-27591-Below
   python3 Exploit.py

The current version is a simplified and adapted version written by me for educational and practice purposes.
