Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Excel 2002 of Microsoft Office XP. By supplying a .xls file with a malformed OBJ (recType 0x5D) record an attacker can get the control of the execution flow. This results in arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.

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.
