McAfee SaaS MyCioScan ShowReport Remote Command Execution
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in McAfee Security-as-a-Service. The ShowReport() function (located in the myCIOScn.dll ActiveX component) fails to check the FileName argument, and passes it on to a ShellExecuteW() function, therefore allows any malicious attacker to execute any process that's on the local system. However, if the victim machine is connected to a remote share (or something similar), then it's also possible to execute arbitrary code. Please note that a custom template is required for the payload, because the default Metasploit template is detectable by McAfee -- any Windows binary, such as calc.exe or notepad.exe, should bypass McAfee fine.

- 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.
