PostgreSQL for Linux Payload Execution

On some default Linux installations of PostgreSQL, the postgres service account may write to the /tmp directory, and may source UDF Shared Libraries from there as well, allowing execution of arbitrary code. This module compiles a Linux shared object file, uploads it to the target host via the...

Yum Package Manager Persistence

Microsoft SQL Server Payload Execution

This module executes an arbitrary payload on a Microsoft SQL Server by using the "xpcmdshell" stored procedure. Currently, three delivery methods are supported. First, the original method uses Windows 'debug.com'. File size restrictions are avoided by incorporating the debug bypass method present...

Microsoft SQL Server Payload Execution via SQL Injection

This module will execute an arbitrary payload on a Microsoft SQL Server, using a SQL injection vulnerability. Once a vulnerability is identified this module will use xpcmdshell to upload and execute Metasploit payloads. It is necessary to specify the exact point where the SQL injection...

APT Package Manager Persistence

This module will run a payload when the APT package manager is used. This module creates a pre-invoke hook for APT in apt.conf.d. Write access to the apt.conf.d directory is required, typically requiring root access. The hook name is randomized if not specified. Verified on Ubuntu 22.04 Module...

Microsoft SQL Server Clr Stored Procedure Payload Execution
