This module abuses a process creation policy in Internet Explorer's sandbox; specifically, Microsoft's RemoteApp and Desktop Connections runtime proxy, TSWbPrxy.exe. This vulnerability allows the attacker to escape the Protected Mode and execute code with Medium Integrity. At the moment, this module only bypass Protected Mode on Windows 7 SP1 and prior (32 bits). This module has been tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1 (32 bits) with IE 8 and IE 11.

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/ms15_004_tswbproxy
msf exploit(ms15_004_tswbproxy) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ms15_004_tswbproxy) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ms15_004_tswbproxy) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ms15_004_tswbproxy) > 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.
