Module Overview


Name: MS13-097 Registry Symlink IE Sandbox Escape
Module: exploit/windows/local/ms13_097_ie_registry_symlink
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/local/ms13_097_ie_registry_symlink.rb
Disclosure date: 2013-12-10
Last modification time: 2021-09-08 21:56:02 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Windows
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: CVE-2013-5045

This module exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer Sandbox which allows to escape the Enhanced Protected Mode and execute code with Medium Integrity. The vulnerability exists in the IESetProtectedModeRegKeyOnly function from the ieframe.dll component, which can be abused to force medium integrity IE to user influenced keys. By using registry symlinks it's possible force IE to add a policy entry in the registry and finally bypass Enhanced Protected Mode.
