A new OpenBSD local exploit
Community contributor bcoles [http://github.com/bcoles] brings us a new exploit
module for CVE-2019-19726, a vulnerability originally discovered by Qualys
[https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vulnerabilities/2019/12/11/openbsd-local-privilege-escalation-vulnerability-cve-2019-19726]
in OpenBSD. This vulnerability is pretty interesting in the sense that it
leverages a bug in the _dl_getenv function that can be triggered to load
libutil.so from an attacker controlled loca

Metasploit Wrap-Up: Dec. 27, 2019
With 2019 almost wrapped up, we’ve been left wondering where the time went! It’s
been a busy year for Metasploit, and we’re going out on a reptile-themed note
this wrap-up...

It’s beginning to look a lot like HaXmas [/tag/haxmas/], everywhere you go! We
have a great selection of gift-wrapped modules this holiday season, sure to have
you entertained from one to eight nights, depending on your preference! On a
personal note, we here at the Metasploit workshop would like to welcome our
newest elf, Spencer McIntyre [https://github.com/smcintyre-r7]. Spencer has been
a long-time contributor to the project, and we’re thrilled to have him on the
team!

Powershell Express Delivery
The web_delivery module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/modules/exploits/multi/script/web_delivery.rb]
is often used to deliver a payload during post exploitation by quickly firing up
a local web server. Since it does not write anything on target’s disk, payloads
are less likely to be caught by anti-virus protections. However, since Microsoft
added Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI)

Payload payday
As we blogged about yesterday
[/2019/11/21/metasploit-shellcode-grows-up-encrypted-and-authenticated-c-shells/]
, a new form of payload that is compiled directly from C when generated was
added by space-7 [https://github.com/space-r7]. We hope this is only the first
step in a journey of applying the myriad tools that obfuscate C programs to our
core payloads, so be sure to check out all the nifty workings of the code! If
that wasn't enough, we also got a pair of payloads written f

Many versions of network management tool rConfig are vulnerable to

[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/12507] for targeting those

This week's Metasploit wrap-up ships a new exploit module against Nostromo, a
directory traversal vulnerability that allows system commands to be executed
remotely. Also, improvements have been made for the grub_creds module for better
post exploitation experience against Unix-like machines. Plus a few bugs that
have been addressed, including the -s option for NOPs generation, the
meterpreter prompt, and reverse_tcp hanging due to newer Ruby versions.

Is URGENT/11 urgent to your world? Metasploit now has a scanner module to help
find the systems that need URGENT attention. Be sure
to check the options on this one; RPORTS is a list to test multiple services on
each target. Thanks Ben Seri [https://twitter.com/benseri87] for the PoC that
lead off this work.

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.

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…
