Metasploit Wrap-Up 04/17/2026
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.
