Hi Kevin,
Welcome to the team! We're thrilled to have you on board at Enigma Corp.
A little about us — Enigma Corp is a mid-sized technology and operations firm specializing in infrastructure management and enterprise solutions. We've been growing rapidly over the past few years and we're excited to have fresh talent joining us.
I'm Sarah from the Accounts department. I'll be your point of contact for any finance-related queries during your onboarding period.
We're still finalizing a few of your onboarding details — your system access, equipment setup, and department introductions are all being arranged by the IT team. You should be receiving your access credentials shortly via the company shared drive.
In the meantime, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We want to make sure your first few days are as smooth as possible.
Looking forward to working with you!
Best regards,
Sarah

# An entity is something that exists - a "thing", like a VM, or a Container
# is an entity. OliveTin allows you to then dynamically generate actions based
# around these entities.
#
# This is really useful if you want to generate wake on lan or poweroff actions
# for `server` entities, for example.
#
# A very popular use case that entities were designed for was for `container`
# entities - in a similar way you could generate `start`, `stop`, and `restart`
# container actions.
#
# Entities are just loaded fome files on disk, OliveTin will also watch these
# files for updates while OliveTin is running, and update entities.
#
# Entities can have properties defined in those files, and those can be used
# in your configuration as variables. For example; `container.status`,
# or `vm.hostname`.

haris@enigma:~$ OliveTin --version
INFO OliveTin is just printing the startup message commit="d22bdeb" date="2026-02-14T20:41:10Z" version="3000.10.0"
haris@enigma:~$
After research, i found CVE-2026-27626. Using it to get root flag
CVE-2026-27626 – OliveTin OS Command Injection
OliveTin versions up to 3000.10.0 are affected by CVE-2026-27626, a critical OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78, CVSS 9.9), which was patched in version 3000.10.1.
The vulnerability occurs when OliveTin actions use Shell execution with arguments of type password. The password argument type does not properly validate shell metacharacters and was omitted from the list of unsafe argument types. As a result, attacker-controlled input can be interpolated directly into the command string and subsequently executed through sh -c.
The vulnerable configuration contains the following action:
1
shell: "mysqldump -u {{ db_user }} -p'{{ db_pass }}' {{ db_name }} > /opt/backups/backup.sql"
Since db_pass is defined as a password argument, a crafted value can alter the shell parsing context and inject additional operating system commands.
In this environment, authentication is not required for guest users, and the OliveTin service is accessible locally on 127.0.0.1:1337. Therefore, the compromised user can invoke the vulnerable backup_database action directly.
More importantly, the OliveTin process is running with root privileges. Consequently, any command successfully injected through the vulnerable argument is executed as root, turning the command injection vulnerability into a complete local privilege escalation from the haris user to root.
Attack chain:
haris → OliveTin API → backup_database → malicious db_pass → sh -c command injection → root command execution
