Authenticated WMI Exec via Powershell - Metasploit
This page contains detailed information about how to use the exploit/windows/local/ps_wmi_exec metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.
Module Overview
Name: Authenticated WMI Exec via Powershell
Module: exploit/windows/local/ps_wmi_exec
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/local/ps_wmi_exec.rb
Disclosure date: 2012-08-19
Last modification time: 2020-09-22 02:56:51 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Windows
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: -
This module uses WMI execution to launch a payload instance on a remote machine. In order to avoid AV detection, all execution is performed in memory via psh-net encoded payload. Persistence option can be set to keep the payload looping while a handler is present to receive it. By default the module runs as the current process owner. The module can be configured with credentials for the remote host with which to launch the process.
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/ps_wmi_exec
msf exploit(ps_wmi_exec) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(ps_wmi_exec) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(ps_wmi_exec) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(ps_wmi_exec) > set SESSION session-id
msf exploit(ps_wmi_exec) > exploit
Required Options
- SESSION: The session to run this module on.
