HP Easy Printer Care XMLSimpleAccessor Class ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution
Description
This module allows remote attackers to place arbitrary files on a users file system by abusing via Directory Traversal attack the "saveXML" method from the "XMLSimpleAccessor" class in the HP Easy Printer HPTicketMgr.dll ActiveX Control (HPTicketMgr.dll 2.7.2.0). Code execution can be achieved by first uploading the payload to the remote machine embeddeding a vbs file, and then upload another mof file, which enables Windows Management Instrumentation service to execute the vbs. Please note that this module currently only works for Windows before Vista.

- 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.
