This module can be used to escalate privileges to sysadmin if the user has the db_owner role in a trustworthy database owned by a sysadmin user. Once the user has the sysadmin role the msssql_payload module can be used to obtain a shell on the system.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/admin/mssql/mssql_escalate_dbowner
msf auxiliary(mssql_escalate_dbowner) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(mssql_escalate_dbowner) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(mssql_escalate_dbowner) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(mssql_escalate_dbowner) > run
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
