Module Overview
Name: Yum Package Manager Persistence
Module: exploit/linux/local/yum_package_manager_persistence
Source code: modules/exploits/linux/local/yum_package_manager_persistence.rb
Disclosure date: 2003-12-17

Supported architecture(s): cmd, x86, x64, armle, aarch64, ppc, mipsle, mipsbe
Supported platform(s): Linux, Unix
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: -
This module will run a payload when the package manager is used. No handler is ran automatically so you must configure an appropriate exploit/multi/handler to connect. Module modifies a yum plugin to launch a binary of choice. grep -F 'enabled=1' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/ will show what plugins are currently enabled on the system.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
Note: To run a local exploit, make sure you are at the msf prompt.
Also, to check the session ID, use the sessions command.

msf exploit(yum_package_manager_persistence) > set SESSION session-id
msf exploit(yum_package_manager_persistence) > exploit
Required Options
- SESSION: The session to run this module on.
Knowledge Base
Description
This module will run a payload when the package manager is used. No handler is ran automatically so you must configure an appropriate exploit/multi/handler to connect. Module modifies a yum plugin to launch a binary of choice. grep -F 'enabled=1' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/ will show what plugins are currently enabled on the system.
Verification Steps
- Exploit a box that uses Yum
use linux/local/yum_package_manager_persistenceset SESSION <id>set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/reverse_pythonconfigure the payload as neededexploit
When the system runs yum update the payload will launch. You must set handler accordingly.
Options
BACKDOOR_NAME Name of backdoor executable
PLUGIN Name of the yum plugin to target
WritableDir Writable directory for backdoor default is (/usr/local/bin/)
PluginPath Plugin path to use default is (/usr/lib/yum-plugins/)
