Metasploit msfd Remote Code Execution via Browser
Description
Metasploit's msfd-service makes it possible to get a msfconsole-like interface over a TCP socket. This module connects to the msfd-socket through the victim's browser. To execute msfconsole-commands in JavaScript from a web application, this module places the payload in the POST-data. These POST-requests can be sent cross-domain and can therefore be sent to localhost on the victim's machine. The msfconsole-command to execute code is 'rbi -e "CODE"'. Exploitation when the browser is running on Windows is unreliable and the exploit is only usable when IE is used and the quiet-flag has been passed to msf-daemon.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
