Module: Detect Software

Jump to bottom
Brendan Coles edited this page Apr 9, 2017 · 2 revisions

Summary

  • Objective : This module attempts to detect software installed on the host by using Internet Explorer XMLDOM XXE discovered by Soroush Dalili (@irsdl). If the XMLDOM XXE technique fails, the module falls back to using the 'res' protocol handler to load known resource images from EXE/DLL files. It also attempts to enumerate installed patches if service pack uninstall files are present on the host (WinXP only).

Internal working

This module abuses an XXE vulnerability (CVE-2013-7331) in the loadXML() method of the ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") object in Internet Explorer to determine whether specific folders are present on the system.

This vulnerability was patched in MS14-05 in September 2014.

See the source code for more information.
