Oracle MySQL for Microsoft Windows FILE Privilege Abuse
Description
This module takes advantage of a file privilege misconfiguration problem specifically against Windows MySQL servers. This module abuses the FILE privilege to write a payload to Microsoft's All Users Start Up directory which will execute every time a user logs in. The default All Users Start Up directory used by the module is present on Windows 7.

- 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.
