Google Chrome 72 and 73 Array.map exploit

Description

This module exploits an issue in Chrome 73.0.3683.86 (64 bit). The exploit corrupts the length of a float in order to modify the backing store of a typed array. The typed array can then be used to read and write arbitrary memory. The exploit then uses WebAssembly in order to allocate a region of RWX memory, which is then replaced with the payload. The payload is executed within the sandboxed renderer process, so the browser must be run with the --no-sandbox option for the payload to work correctly.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/browser/chrome_array_map
msf exploit(chrome_array_map) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(chrome_array_map) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(chrome_array_map) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(chrome_array_map) > exploit

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.
