This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to create a new administrator user account on a vulnerable ConnectWise ScreenConnect server. The attacker can leverage this to achieve RCE by uploading a malicious extension module. All versions of ScreenConnect version 23.9.7 and below are affected.
Linux,Unix,Windows
x64, cmd
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/http/connectwise_screenconnect_rce_cve_2024_1709
msf exploit(connectwise_screenconnect_rce_cve_2024_1709) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(connectwise_screenconnect_rce_cve_2024_1709) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(connectwise_screenconnect_rce_cve_2024_1709) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(connectwise_screenconnect_rce_cve_2024_1709) > 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.
