Vtiger CRM version 5.1.0 exposed on https://10.10.10.7/vtigercrm.
 Asterisk looks for the asterisk.conf file in the /etc/asterisk directory, but you can supply a command line parameter to use a different asterisk.conf file. Manager.conf configuration file holds login as well as password details to other supporting applications.

Which brings us to vulnerability research, showing that Vtiger 5.1 suffers from Local File Inclusion

We have find this vulnerabilitie in VTiger 5.1.0

It is always worth using gathered credentials against the services running on the host. Since this is a Linux system with SSH server running, in this case we were able to login as root:

​
In conclusion:
LFI vulnerability allowed us to retrieve the login credentials to FreePBX database. We have captured user.txt flag indicating that asterisk user had an access to at least standard user files. Attacker could have also taken advantage of credentials reuse to ssh into the server as an administrator.  
We can also if we want to, turn this LFI info RFI.  Details here.

Configure the exploit code:
rhost – target IP – 10.11.1.217
lhost – attacker listener IP – 10.11.0.249
lport – attacker listener port - 443
In order to succeed with this exploit we need to find out a valid extension number. We can accomplish this process with svwar - Sipvicious extension line scanner scans SIP PaBXs for valid extension lines.
Don't use in the middle of the night in order to not disturb the neighbors, got it! 
We feed discovered extension (233) to our exploit code and we are ready to launch it:
Note:if you get this error below, you may want to add: import ssl ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context to the beginning of the python code.

SUID (Set owner User ID up on execution) is a special type of file permissions given to a file. Normally in Linux/Unix when a program runs, it inherits access permissions from the logged in user. SUID is defined as giving temporary permissions to a user to run a program/file with the permissions of the file owner rather that the user who runs it. In simple words users will get file owner’s permissions as well as owner UID and GID when executing a file/program/command.
Until version 5.50, Nmap had an interactive option available, allowing for execution of arbitrary commands on the system:
sudo nmap --interactive
Summary:
     vulnerable software : MiniServ 1.570, POC
     system vulnerable : 10.10.10.7:10000
     vulnerability explanation :Shellshock, CVE-2014-6271
     severity : critical
On top of that the server was also vulnerable to Shellshock injection as it is running vulnerable MiniServ Webmin 1.570 Webmin HTTP on port 10000 exposing /file/show.cgi to the public:
Proof:
Theory:
When a web server uses the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to handle a document request, it passes various details of the request to a handler program in the environment variable list. For example, the variable HTTP_USER_AGENT has a value that, in normal usage, identifies the program sending the request. If the request handler is a Bash script, or if it executes one for example using the system(3) call, Bash will receive the environment variables passed by the server and will process them as described above. This provides a means for an attacker to trigger the Shellshock vulnerability with a specially crafted server request. Security documentation for the widely used Apache web server states: "CGI scripts can ... be extremely dangerous if they are not carefully checked." and other methods of handling web server requests are often used. There are a number of online services which attempt to test the vulnerability against web servers exposed to the Internet.
