Nagios XI post module
Nagios XI may store the credentials of the hosts it monitors, and with the new
post module [https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12136] by Cale
Smith [https://github.com/caleBot], we're now able to extract the Nagios
database content along with its SSH keys and dump them into the MSF database.
With the addition of this new post module, we can conveniently increase the
opportunities for lateral movement.

Exploiting Windows tools
There are two new Windows modules this week, both brought to you by the
Metasploit team.
The Windows Silent Process Exit Persistence module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12375], from our own
bwatters-r7 [https://github.com/bwatters-r7], exploits a Windows tool that
allows for debugging a specified process on exit. With escalated privileges, an
attacker can configure the debug process and then use the module to upload a
payload which will launch e

Command and Control with DOUBLEPULSAR
We now have a DOUBLEPULSAR exploit module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12374] thanks to some
amazing work by our own wvu [https://github.com/wvu-r7], Jacob Robles, and some
significant contributions from the wider community. The module allows you to
check for the DOUBLEPULSAR implant, disable it, or even load your own payloads
as well; it really deserves its own blog post…

BlueKeep is Here
The BlueKeep exploit module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12283] is now officially a
part of Metasploit Framework. This module reached merged status thanks to lots
of collaboration between Rapid7 and the MSF community members. The module
requires some manual configuration per target, and targets include both
virtualized and non-virtualized versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

On the correct list
AppLocker and Software Restriction Policies control the applications and files
that users are able to run on Windows Operating Systems. These two protections
have been available to the blue team for years. AppLocker is supported on
Windows 7 and above, and Software Restriction Policies is supported on Windows
XP and above. Encountering either during an engagement could slow you down;
however, look no further than the evasion modules for assistance. Nick Tyrer

Metasploit Wrap-Up: Sep. 13, 2019
Fall is in the air, October is on the way, and it is Friday the 13th. We have a
lot of updates and features that landed this week, though none are particularly
spooky, and unfortunately, none are json-related…1
We recently updated our digital signing keys, and some users may have seen
warnings that their Metasploit packages were not signed. We’ve fixed this as of
this week—apologies for any confusion. If you are still experiencing signing
issues, you may need to re-download Metasploit installer

Summer is winding down and while our for contributions haven't dropped off

Congrats to Nick Tyrer [https://github.com/NickTyrer] for the first community
contibuted evasion module to land in master. Nick's
evasion/windows/applocker_evasion_install_util module

trusted InstallUtil.exe binary to execute user supplied code and evade

RCE with a Key
An exploit module [https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12062]
for Laravel Framework was submitted by community contributor aushack
[https://github.com/aushack]. The module targets an insecure unserialize call
with the X-XSRF-TOKEN HTTP request header, which was discovered by Ståle
Pettersen. Since the exploit requires the Laravel APP_KEY to reach the
vulnerable unserialize call, aushack included information leak

no new modules this week, so instead we're featuring two enhancements that fix
some long outstanding Framework bugs. Check out last week’s holiday wrap-up for
