Various Lexmark Universal Printer drivers as listed at advisory TE953
allow low-privileged authenicated users to elevate their privileges to
SYSTEM on affected Windows systems by modifying the XML file at
C:\ProgramData\
Windows
x86, x64
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/local/lexmark_driver_privesc
msf exploit(lexmark_driver_privesc) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(lexmark_driver_privesc) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(lexmark_driver_privesc) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(lexmark_driver_privesc) > 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.
