# Exploit Title: Laravel Valet 2.0.3 - Local Privilege Escalation (macOS)
# Exploit Author: leonjza
# Vendor Homepage: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/valet
# Version: v1.1.4 to v2.0.3

# Laravel Valet v1.1.4 - 2.0.3 Local Privilege Escalation (macOS)
# February 2017 - @leonjza

# Affected versions: At least since ~v1.1.4 to v2.0.3. Yikes.
# Reintroduced in v2.0.7 via the 'trust' command again.

# This bug got introduced when the sudoers files got added around
# commit b22c60dacab55ffe2dc4585bc88cd58623ec1f40 [1].

# Effectively, when the valet command is installed, composer will symlink [2]
# the `valet` command to /usr/local/bin. This 'command' is writable by the user
# that installed it.
#
# ~ $ ls -lah $(which valet)
# lrwxr-xr-x  1 leonjza  admin    51B Feb 25 00:09 /usr/local/bin/valet -> /Users/leonjza/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/valet

# Running `valet install`, will start the install [3] routine. The very first action
# taken is to stop nginx (quietly?) [4], but runs the command with `sudo` which
# will prompt the user for the sudo password in the command line. From here (and in fact
# from any point where the valet tool uses sudo) the command can execute further commands
# as root without any further interaction needed by the user.
# With this 'sudo' access, the installer does it thing, and eventually installs two new
# sudoers rules for homebrew[5] and valet[6].

# ~ $ cat /etc/sudoers.d/*
# Cmnd_Alias BREW = /usr/local/bin/brew *
# %admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: BREW
# Cmnd_Alias VALET = /usr/local/bin/valet *
# %admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VALET

# The problem with the sudoers rules now is the fact that a user controlled script
# (rememeber the valet command is writable to my user?) is allowed to be run with
# root privileges. More conveniently, without a password. So, to trivially privesc
# using this flaw, simply edit the `valet` command and drop `/bin/bash` in there. :D

# Or, use this lame script you lazy sod.
#
# ~ $ sudo -k
# ~ $ python escalate.py
# * Shell written. Dropping into root shell
# bash-3.2# whoami
# root
# bash-3.2# exit
# exit
# * Cleaning up POC from valet command
