This allows arbitrary command execution as though you have console access. This module attempts to create a new table, then execute system commands in the context of copying the command output into the table. This module should work on all Postgres systems running version 9.3 and above. For Linux & OSX systems, target 1 is used with cmd payloads such as: cmd/unix/reverse_perl For Windows Systems, target 2 is used with powershell payloads such as: cmd/windows/powershell_reverse_tcp Alternativly target 3 can be used to execute generic commands, such as a web_delivery meterpreter powershell payload or other customised command. ), 'Author' => [ 'Jacob Wilkin' # Exploit Author of Module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2019-9193'], ['URL', 'https://medium.com/greenwolf-security/authenticated-arbitrary-command-execution-on-postgresql-9-3-latest-cd18945914d5'], ['URL', 'https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/release-9-3.html'] #Patch notes adding the function, see 'E.26.3.3.
