Evince CBT File Command Injection
Description
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in Evince before version 3.24.1 when opening comic book `.cbt` files. Some file manager software, such as Nautilus and Atril, may allow automatic exploitation without user interaction due to thumbnailer preview functionality. Note that limited space is available for the payload (<256 bytes). Reverse Bash and Reverse Netcat payloads should be sufficiently small. This module has been tested successfully on evince versions: 3.4.0-3.1 + nautilus 3.4.2-1+build1 on Kali 1.0.6; 3.18.2-1ubuntu4.3 + atril 1.12.2-1ubuntu0.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.

- 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.
