More AI, more software, more bugs!

AI, it's all you hear about nowadays and everyone's got an opinion on it. Here at Metasploit, we care less about those opinions and more about the growing attack surface all this new software brings with it (yeehaw exploits!). Take for example the new Flowise CSV Agent Prompt Injection RCE brought to you by Takahiro Yokoyama and zdi-disclosures. Flowise is an open-source tool that lets you build AI apps and chatbots using a visual, drag-and-drop canvas and CVE-2026-41264 is an unauthenticated RCE run method of the CSV_Agents class in Flowise. The vulnerability exists due insufficient sandboxing and an incomplete list of disallowed inputs. It allows unauthenticated attackers to upload a .csv file containing arbitrary python code and execute it. One moment you're using AI to help draft and email and the next moment you're getting pwn'd, what a world we live in! Happy Friday and happy hacking everyone.

Apache .htaccess Persistence

Authors: 4ravind-b, msutovsky-r7, and wireghoul

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21473 contributed by 4ravind-b

Path: linux/persistence/apache_htaccess

Description: Adds a new persistence module, exploits/linux/persistence/apache_htaccess, that plants wireghoul's mod_cgi .htaccess web shell on a Linux Apache target.

Flowise CSV Agent Prompt Injection RCE

Authors: Takahiro Yokoyama and zdi-disclosures

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21407 contributed by Takahiro-Yoko

Path: multi/http/flowise_auth_rce_cve_2026_41264

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2026-41264

Description: This adds a new exploit module for FlowiseAI Flowise (CVE-2026-41264). The CSV Agent feature evaluates LLM-generated Python code without proper sandboxing, allowing a prompt injection to achieve arbitrary code execution as the user running the server. Flowise versions 1.3.0 through 3.0.13 are affected. The module requires an API key with chatflows:create permission but does not require Flowise authentication to trigger the underlying flaw.

macOS PackageKit ZSH Environment Privilege Escalation

Authors: Mykola Grymalyuk and h00die

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21499 contributed by h00die

Path: osx/local/packagekit_zshenv_privesc

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2024-27822

Description: This adds a new local privilege escalation module for macOS targeting CVE-2024-27822 in PackageKit.framework. When a PKG installer script uses a ZSH shebang, PackageKit runs it as root while inheriting the installing user's environment, causing ZSH to source the user's ~/.zshenv with root privileges. The module plants a payload in ~/.zshenv that fires only when running as root, then opens a minimal PKG with Installer.app; once the user approves the installation prompt and authenticates, the payload executes as root and a root session is returned. Affected versions are macOS 14.4, 13.6.6, 12.7.4, and 11 and earlier; the issue is patched in 14.5, 13.6.7, and 12.7.5.

Enhancements and features (5)

• #21416 from g0tmi1k - This updates the Exploit::Remote::Ftp mixin to improve target fingerprinting. It now leverages recog to fingerprint targets from their banners and adds ftp_fingerprint and ftp_list_directory methods to assist with target enumeration.
• #21436 from g0tmi1k - Improved UX for reloading of library files.
• #21579 from zeroSteiner - This adds a few extra fields to some MCP Server tools to align with recent RPC changes in the framework. The msf_service_info tool now has resource and parents fields, the msf_vulnerability_info tool now has a resource field, the msf_note_info tool now has a data field, and the msf_credential_info tool now has new realm_key and realm_value fields.
• #21580 from Pushpenderrathore - This adds a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Trace to the CertificateTrace functionality. Users can now opt to see the CSR get printed when requesting certificates from AD CS.
• #21637 from eve0805 - This adds improved levels of granularity to the KerberosTicketTrace functionality. Users can now choose to print the full kerberos trace output, only the tickets or only the metadata.

Bugs fixed (2)

• #21588 from vinicius-batistella - Fix a bug in the format dispatcher where although we can generate AARCH64 windows exe files, we fail trying to do so because the dispatcher does not properly handle the request by the user.
• #21651 from jheysel-r7 - This fixes a bug in the Role Based Constrained Delegation (RBCD) module that prevented Access Control Entries (ACEs) from being removed due to a type mismatch while comparing Security Identifiers (SIDs).

It's Time to Upgrade Your SMB Session

This week, Metasploit contributor Dean Welch has added an SMB to Meterpreter session upgrade module. It uses PsExec to facilitate the upgrade. Users can load the module with use windows/manage/smb_to_meterpreter and specify the session number they wish to upgrade. This functionality is also available with the command sessions -u <session_id>. This work is part of an overarching effort to enable a variety of session types to be upgraded to Meterpreter when possible.

Happy Friday - Seven New Metasploit Modules

We’re happy to announce that Metasploit Framework had a big week, landing seven new modules alongside various bug fixes and enhancements. This week’s highlights include RCE modules targeting AVideo, openDCIM, Selenium Grid/Selenoid, and ChurchCRM. On the post-exploitation side, Windows saw three new persistence techniques added as modules, targeting Telemetry scheduled tasks, PowerShell profiles, and Microsoft BITS.

What a time to be alive as a Metasploit user! We wish you all a wonderful weekend and happy hacking.

New module content (7)

AVideo Unauthenticated SQL Injection Credential Dump

Authors: Valentin Lobstein chocapikk@leakix.net and arkmarta

Type: Auxiliary

Pull request: #21075 contributed by Chocapikk

Path: gather/avideo_catname_sqli

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2026-28501

Description: Adds an auxiliary module for CVE-2026-28501, an unauthenticated SQL injection in AVideo <= 22.0, along with a new BenchmarkBasedBlind SQLi mixin class and blind extraction improvements.

openDCIM install.php SQL Injection to RCE

Author: Valentin Lobstein chocapikk@leakix.net

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21034 contributed by Chocapikk

Path: linux/http/opendcim_install_sqli_rce

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2026-28517

Description: This PR adds a new exploit module for openDCIM that chains three vulnerabilities (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mg2w-x76x-59h8, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-prmh-rp39-qc4m, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-428h-8xhf-g3cw) to achieve remote code execution.

Selenium Grid/Selenoid Unauthenticated RCE

Authors: Jon Stratton, Takahiro Yokoyama, Valentin Lobstein chocapikk@leakix.net, and Wiz Research

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21003 contributed by Chocapikk

Path: linux/http/selenium_greed_rce

Description: This replaces the two separate Selenium Grid RCE modules (Chrome and Firefox) with a single unified module that auto-detects available browsers and selects the best attack vector. The module targets unauthenticated Selenium Grid and Selenoid instances, supporting two techniques: a Firefox profile handler injection that works on all Grid versions including the latest (never patched since 2021), and a Chrome binary override for Grid versions prior to 4.11.0 and all Selenoid versions. No authentication is required.

ChurchCRM Database Restore RCE 6.2.0

Author: LucasCsmt

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21095 contributed by LucasCsmt

Path: multi/http/churchcrm_db_restore_rce

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2025-68109

Description: Adds a new exploit module for CVE-2025-68109, targeting a file upload vulnerability inside ChurchCRM leading to an RCE. This module will work on version 6.2.0 of ChurchCRM and earlier.

Windows Persistence Bits Job

Author: h00die

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #20839 contributed by h00die

Path: windows/persistence/bits

Description: This adds a new persistence module that uses Microsoft Bits to maintain access to the system.

Powershell Profile Persistence

Author: madefourit

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #20933 contributed by madefourit

Path: windows/persistence/powershell_profile

Description: This adds a new persistence module that uses powershell profiles to maintain access.

Windows Telemetry Persistence

Author: h00die

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #20843 contributed by h00die

Path: windows/persistence/telemetry

Description: Adds a new persistence module, exploit/windows/persistence/telemetry, that abuses the Windows Telemetry scheduled task (Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser / CompatTelRunner) to establish persistence. The module writes a payload to disk and configures the telemetry task to execute it, resulting in a SYSTEM-level Meterpreter session either on the next scheduled run or immediately on demand. Requires an admin-level Meterpreter session on the target.

Enhancements and features (11)

• #21078 from Chocapikk - Adds multiple improvements to the multi/http/churchcrm_install_unauth_rce module.
• #21085 from dledda-r7 - This refactors the Block API code used by Windows payloads to leverage a new version of the hashing algorithm. This also fixes a bug whereby the MaximumLength field was used when calculating UNICODE_STRING names when it should have been the Length field.
• #21236 from bcoles - Add riscv64le and riscv32le architecture support to the fileless fetch payload adapter. This enables in-memory ELF execution via memfd_create on RISC-V Linux targets without writing to disk.
• #21252 from zeroSteiner - Adds a new with_adcs_certificate_request method that now used by both the MsIcpr and WebEnrollment mixins that abstracts away the enrollment process and takes a block that performs the actual request. The result is consolidation of messages, post-processing of the successfully issued certificate.
• #21255 from mxnvel - This updates two Python payloads (cmd/unix/reverse_python and cmd/unix/reverse_python_ssl) to make the PythonPath option optional. When omitted, it defaults to a shim that will determine the appropriate version of Python at runtime using a small bash expression.
• #21275 from adfoster-r7 - Adds multiple improvements to the cve_2025_14847_mongobleed module, such as adding new a dedicated check method, improved compression support detection as only zlib can be exploited, and resolving other false positives.
• #21286 from Hemang360 - Adds a cleanup keyword argument to Msf::Post::File#mkdir so callers can skip automatic directory cleanup registration. It is very useful for when we create directories in persistence modules and want the directory to remain.
• #21289 from sjanusz-r7 - Updates the db.hosts RPC call to now additionally include the comments associated with the host.
• #21291 from sjanusz-r7 - Updates the module.info RPC call to now additionally include the notes associated with the module.
• #21304 from adfoster-r7 - Improves multiple auxiliary module check code messages and statuses.

Bugs fixed (4)

• #21027 from SilentSobs - Fixes ELF shared object (elf-so) payload generation failing on 32-bit ARM Linux and RISC-V 32-bit LE targets. The _start entry point in the ARM LE template was landing at a non-word-aligned offset, which violates the architecture's 4-byte alignment requirement and caused the shared object to fail to load. The templates now use proper NASM align directives to ensure correct entry point alignment, and a similar fix is applied to the RISC-V 32-bit LE template.
• #21268 from adfoster-r7 - Fixes a crash with a small number of auxiliary modules when the check method was run and the vulnerability wasn't present.
• #21287 from zeroSteiner - Fixes the EXE templates that were rebuilt in https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/20502 to work on legacy Windows targets like Server 2000 in case you find yourself in a combination hacking and time-travelling movie.
• #21309 from sfewer-r7 - Fixes a false positive in the fortinet_fortiweb_create_admin module when detecting the presence of an authentication bypass via path traversal vulnerability in the Fortinet FortiWeb management interface.

Documentation added (1)

• #20843 from h00die - Adds a new persistence module, exploit/windows/persistence/telemetry, that abuses the Windows Telemetry scheduled task (Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser / CompatTelRunner) to establish persistence. The module writes a payload to disk and configures the telemetry task to execute it, resulting in a SYSTEM-level Meterpreter session either on the next scheduled run or immediately on demand.
