Nitro Pro PDF Reader 11.0.3.173 Javascript API Remote Code Execution
Description
This module exploits an unsafe Javascript API implemented in Nitro and Nitro Pro PDF Reader version 11. The saveAs() Javascript API function allows for writing arbitrary files to the file system. Additionally, the launchURL() function allows an attacker to execute local files on the file system and bypass the security dialog Note: This is 100% reliable.

- 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.
