Spring cleanup

This week’s Metasploit updates focused on foundational improvements and expanded target reach. Key enhancements were made to the recently released Copy Fail exploit module, which now benefits from payload fixes in linux/x64/exec and linux/armle/exec. These changes expand its capability, enabling the use of the cmd/unix/python/meterpreter/reverse_tcp payload on x64 targets and introducing support for ARMLE Linux. Additionally, the exploit/multi/http/shiro_rememberme_v124_deserialize module has been improved to allow operators to adjust the deserialization chain, enabling exploitation of a broader set of targets. Finally, several critical utility modules, including the FTP anonymous scanner and other FTP modules, received general fixes and updates.

MCP server

This release our very own cdelafuente-r7 finished implementing the Metasploit MCP Server (msfmcpd), bringing Model Context Protocol support to Metasploit Framework. MCP lets AI applications like Claude, Cursor, or your own custom agents query Metasploit data. Think of it as a middleware layer that exposes 8 standardized tools for searching modules and pulling reconnaissance data, all built on the official Ruby MCP SDK.

This first iteration is read-only, covering modules, hosts, services, vulnerabilities, and more. Tools for module execution, session interaction, and database modifications are on the roadmap for a future release. Full details are available in the documentation.

Copy Fail

Earlier this week, details of a new and high profile Linux LPE were released alongside a public PoC. The bug, nicknamed Copy Fail and identified by CVE-2026-31431, is a logic flaw in the cryptographic APIs exposed by the Linux Kernel. Metasploit has shipped a local exploit this week to leverage the flaw on AMD64 and AARCH64 targets with additional architectures planned for future releases. The exploit, which replaces the ‘su’ binary in the page cache with a small ELF file, allows users to specify command payloads for execution and will automatically determine the appropriate target architecture.

Check Method Visibility

Metasploit has supported check methods for many years now. It’s not always desirable to jump straight into exploiting a vulnerability but instead to determine if the target is vulnerable. Metasploit tries to be very conservative with classifying a target as “vulnerable” unless the vulnerability is leveraged as part of the check method, reserving the “appears” status for version checks. The different check codes a module is capable of returning and the logic to select among them varies from exploit to exploit and is not always the easiest to understand. Aligning with the consistent feedback that Metasploit has received that module actions should be more transparent, adfoster-r7 has been adding reasoning information en masse to the check codes returned by a variety of exploits. This information will help users understand why a particular vulnerability status was determined, making troubleshooting efforts easier and increasing confidence in the results.

Legacy SMB Improvements

This week, community member g0tm1lk made multiple improvements for legacy and non-Windows SMB targets. Version information is now more reliably extracted from targets running SMB 1, and a variety of minor bugs were fixed across multiple modules that would have affected users targeting systems the module was not intended to target as is often the case when the module is used to scan an entire network.

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.

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.

Description: Updates the Windows service-for-user persistence technique.

Enhancements and features (7)

• #20814 from h00die - Updates the Windows service-for-user persistence technique.

• #20973 from bitstr3m-48 - This release enables command execution for non-interactive HWBridge sessions via the sessions -c flag. Additionally, the hwbridge/connect module now preserves parsed JSON error bodies from failed HTTP responses, which improves error messaging.
• #20977 from g0tmi1k - This updates the exploit/unix/webapp/php_eval module to have a FORMDATA datastore option, which adds HTTP POST-request support and makes the HEADERS datastore option consistent with other modules.
• #20979 from g0tmi1k - This updates the exploit/unix/webapp/php_include module with additional datastore options and make its usage more consistent with the similar exploit/unix/webapp/php_eval module.
• #21031 from zeroSteiner - Enhances the Metasploit’s LDAP/ADCS-related modules to automatically report related services (LDAP, DCERPC/ICertPassage/ADCS CA) and to improve vulnerability reporting by associating findings with the affected LDAP object’s DN (and, for ADCS template findings, the template name) so results are uniquely keyed and easier to interpret.
• #21143 from SaiSakthidar - This bumps the Metasploit payloads to include changes that enable the PHP Meterpreter to open TCP server sockets. This enables operators to listen for inbound connections on compromised hosts and closes a feature gap between PHP and the other Meterpreters.
• #21229 from bcoles - This updates the msfvenom utility to use the metadata cache. The result is roughly 2x faster execution times when listing modules

Bugs fixed (1)

• #21153 from Nayeraneru - This fixes an issue with some mutable constant datastore options. Using shared options like CHOST or CPORT are not changing visibility across modules anymore.

Additional Adapters and More Modules

This week, we added a whole new bunch of HTTP/HTTPS-based CMD payloads for X64 and X86 versions of Windows. The additional breadth of selectable payloads and delivery techniques allows users new options to tailor the attack workflow for their environment. This was contributed by bwatters-r7. Adding new architectures for adapted payloads is surprisingly easy and something a first-time contributor might want to look into!

New modules added to Metasploit Framework also allow for targeting FreeScout and Grav CMS, both of which result in remote code execution. These modules were contributed by Chocapikk and x1o3 respectively. Thanks!

Thanks to g0tmi1k, Metasploit Framework now also includes an exploit module, multi/http/os_cmd_exec, which allows for targeting generic HTTP command execution vulnerabilities where user-supplied input is directly passed to system execution functions via an HTTP request. This can result in a Meterpreter shell on the remote target.

To round this week off, we have a new persistence technique on Windows, thanks to Nayeraneru, which abuses the HKCU\Environment\UserInitMprLogonScript registry value to execute a payload at user logon.

Better NTLM Relaying Functionality

This week’s release brings an improvement to the SMB NTLM relay server. In the past, it’s support has been expanded with modules for relaying to HTTP (ESC8), MSSQL and LDAP while still receiving connections over the humble SMB service. Prior to this release, clients required a key behavior in how they handled SMB’s STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED error code, in order to relay a single authentication attempt to multiple targets. Most clients other than Window’s “net use” do not handle these errors and were thus incompatible with Metasploit SMB NTLM relaying capabilities. Now, when a single target is specified, Metasploit alters its relaying strategy to forward the Net-NTLM messages immediately, making it compatible with a broader range of clients including Linux’s smbclient. In addition, the client in RubySMB was updated to mimic the behaviour of “net use” allowing authentication attempts from RubySMB to be relayed to multiple targets successfully.

This release contains 2 new exploit modules, 2 enhancements, and 7 bug fixes. Community contributor Chocapikk submitted both exploit modules this release: one targeting AVideo-Encoder’s getImage.php file and another targeting FreePBX. Leading the enhancements is a granularization for LDAP queries allowing the omission of SACL data on security descriptors, as without the proper permissions the entire query of the security descriptor will fail if the SACL data is even just a part of the query.

Authors: OpenStudio and Valentin Lobstein chocapikk@leakix.net

Type: Exploit

Pull request: #21001 contributed by Chocapikk

Path: multi/http/spip_saisies_rce

AttackerKB reference: CVE-2025-71243

Description: This adds a new module for CVE-2025-71243, an unauthenticated PHP code-injection vulnerability in the SPIP Saisies plugin. The injection takes place through _anciennes_valeurs, which allows an attacker to inject a PHP payload.

Enhancements and features (2)

• #20885 from dledda-r7 - Updates the bind_netcat payload to allow it to be smaller by selecting either default or BSD-style netcat command syntax. Previously, the payload ran both command syntaxes combined by an OR operator so wherever it was executed, the payload worked. The default behavior remains to run both, but in the event a user needs a significantly shorter payload, they can select a single netcat syntax and adjust the filenames.
• #20961 from Nayeraneru - This adds service reporting to Wordpress mixin. Now, when you use a Wordpress module, it will automatically report the target as Wordpress if detected.

The role and demand for red-teaming capabilities are growing, as more exploitable CVEs make their way into criminal hands. Being proactive is no longer a capability that can be reserved for annual tests, but a continuous assessment to determine exposure and even through the validation of an organization's security posture. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce the long awaited availability of Metasploit Pro 5.0.0 – which is not just an update, but a fundamentally new approach to red-teaming, designed with the sole intention of staying ahead of ever-increasingly capable threat actors. 

Amongst the multitude of changes, Metasploit 5.0.0 offers an intuitive testing workflow that removes the ever evolving complexity of testing, as well as a suite of powerful new modules and critical enhancements. This is the version you can't afford to miss. For all the technical details, the granular release notes can be viewed here.

So what’s new?

Intuitive testing workflow

Say goodbye to complexity, as Metasploit Pro has completely overhauled the testing workflow. Updates are highlighted by an intuitive user interface, ensuring that your focus remains on high-value penetration testing and vulnerability validation, not fighting the interface. These changes are the foundation for the future, preserving the core functionality you rely on while enabling even more powerful features down the road.

⠀

Stop guessing and start seeing. The new implementation of Network Topology support provides instant, crystal-clear clarity on hosts that have been compromised, have associated cracked credentials, or captured data. For enterprise environments with vast, complex surfaces, we’ve invested in performance improvements, giving you the power to zoom and pan through hundreds of available hosts with zero lag. This is actionable visualization that transforms data into defense.

⠀

Vulnerability detection improvements

Get the necessary assurance before you click 'run.' Metasploit modules can now register crucial vulnerability detection details as part of running. This means that modules capable of running pre-check detection logic give you the full intelligence picture before you attempt exploitation. This new level of transparency and detail empowers you to make smarter, faster decisions, saving you precious time and minimizing the chance of failed module runs and adverse side effects.

⠀

Advanced workflow improvements

Unleash your inner expert with unprecedented control and efficiency. Advanced users of Metasploit Pro will immediately benefit from multiple UX improvements to the single module run page. Tired of manually configuring options? Users now receive intelligent suggestions for applicable values, including network targets, Kerberos credential cache files, and more –  streamlining ADCS workflows.

⠀

Furthermore, you now have the ability to manually choose and configure individual payloads, giving you the final word on how you exploit targets. Metasploit Pro will continue to default to the most common payload for each exploit.

Plus, new quality-of-life improvements for replaying module runs ensure that verifying remediation and re-exploiting targets is a seamless, one-click process. Gone are the days of reconfiguring an entire module run to change a single option. The old list view has also been updated to include the ability to view the module option details that a module was run with. These capabilities can additionally be leveraged by advanced users who are interacting with Metasploit Pro in a programmatic fashion or through the command line interface to see exactly how Metasploit Pro is running modules.

⠀

Finally, boost your team's collaboration with the new session tagging feature. Sessions can now be tagged to facilitate advanced and coordinated post-exploitation workflows. Team members can apply instant, custom tags to track status and flag arbitrary qualities, which significantly improves coordination and organization across multi-person engagements.

AD CS exploitation

Tackle one of the most critical attack vectors in modern networks: Metasploit continues its relentless investment in modern exploitation techniques with the groundbreaking updates to the AD CS Workflows Metamodule. This powerful new feature is a significant advancement, providing security professionals with an automated, comprehensive approach to identifying and leveraging nine common AD CS vulnerabilities. 

Now we’ve taken it even further, with new support for the latest and most dangerous ESC flaws: ESC9, ESC10, and ESC16. Take back control of your Active Directory environment and neutralize these threats with surgical precision. For detailed configuration instructions and comprehensive feature documentation, visit our AD CS Workflows MetaModule documentation.

⠀

Session tags

In fast-moving operations, context can disappear quickly as new sessions come online and analysts shift between tasks. Session tagging brings clarity back to your workflow by letting you attach meaningful labels to every open session. Instead of relying on IPs or hostnames alone, you can tag sessions with identifiers that matter to your team - such as priority, environment, or role - making it easy to group related systems and instantly recognize high-value targets.

⠀

SAML Single Sign On

Metasploit Pro now incorporates SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication, providing your team with a simple, unified login experience. By connecting to your centralized directory, users can access Metasploit Pro with the same credentials they use for all other major applications. Administrators can easily configure their identity provider (IDP) to enable a passwordless workflow and utilize existing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) services, making access quick, consistent, and part of your standard corporate flow.

These features are available in Metasploit Pro 5.0.0 onwards. We’re also proud to collaborate with our customers, who are often the source of inspiration for product evolution. Ideas for improvements or enhancements can be shared with our Support team to help you refine the idea, then submit it to our Product team on your behalf.

Encoder exposed!

Some of our releases add new ways in; this one adds new ways to stay in.   There are, of course, still new RCE toys in the box (Tactical RMM via Jinja2 SSTI and an unauthenticated MajorDoMo exploit). Still, the underlying theme is payloads: more control over how they are packaged and delivered, and fewer "why did it die instantly?" moments. We, like our community of module authors, grew tired of having to do everything by hand. You can now pick encoders (and tweak their options) directly for exploit and payload modules without extra glue code. Less plumbing, more choosing-the-right-badchar-killer-at-runtime.

Hacking Churches and Backdooring Emacs

This release packs some solid exploit module additions! Two new unauthenticated RCE modules are a major win: the StoryChief WordPress plugin exploit (CVE-2025-7441) targets a webhook validation flaw allowing arbitrary file uploads, while the ChurchCRM exploit (CVE-2025-62521) abuses the installation wizard to inject PHP code for persistent access. Both establish Meterpreter sessions. On the persistence front, there's a creative Emacs extension module that plants malicious Lisp code for shell callbacks whenever Emacs launches; a fun take on an unconventional attack surface. Along with Emacs, a new Windows persistence using the old, gold registry; this time the UserInit one, to get Administrator shells when any user logs in. To wrap-up, now you can spread automation nightmares with the new n8n auxiliary module, allowing you to extract sessions of other logged users (even admins).

SolarWinds Web Help Desk

Our very own sfewer-r7 has developed an exploit module for the SolarWinds Web Help Desk vulnerabilities CVE-2025-40536 and CVE-2025-40551. On successful exploitation the session will be as running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. For more information see the Rapid7’s SolarWinds Web Help Desk Vulnerabilities guidance.

Contributions

A big thanks to our contributors who have been adding some great content this release. rudraditya21 has added MITRE ATT&CK metadata to lots of our existing modules. Chocapikk has added support for GHSA (GitHub Security Advisory) references support in Metasploit modules. rudraditya21 also added a change which adds negative caching to the LDAP entry cache, which will now mean missing objects are recorded. It also introduces a missing-entry sentinel, tracks misses per identifier type, and updates AD lookup helpers to short‑circuit on cached misses and record misses when a lookup returns no entry.

Oracle E-Business Suite Unauth RCE

This week, we are pleased to announce the addition of a module that exploits CVE-2025-61882, a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The exploit chains multiple flaws—including SSRF, path traversal, HTTP request smuggling, and XSLT injection—to coerce the target into fetching and executing a malicious XSL file hosted by the attacker. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution and an interactive shell on both Linux/Unix and Windows targets. The module is reliable, repeatable, and we here at Metasploit hope you enjoy it, happy hacking!

Enhancements and features (7)

• #20706 from h00die - Updated the Windows WMI to use a new way of managing persistence modules in Metasploit Framework. The Windows WMI module has been split into four modules, each representing their own technique.
• #20751 from h00die - This updates the Windows sticky keys post persistence module to use the new persistence mixin.
• #20785 from Chocapikk - This adds Waku framework support to the existing react2shell module. Waku is a minimal React framework which differs slightly compared to Node.js. The module maintains backward compatibility with existing Next.js targets while adding Waku support through a modular framework configuration system.
• #20786 from zeroSteiner - This updates the module code to merge the target Arch and Platform entries into the module's top level data. Prior to this change module developers had to define Arch and Platform entries twice, once at the module level and again per individual target. This updates over 500 modules and removes that duplication.
• #20796 from h00die - This moves the udev persistence into the persistence category and adds the persistence mixin.
• #20853 from zeroSteiner - Bumps metapsloit-payloads to 2.0.239.
• #20855 from h00die - Adds additional ATT&CK references to persistence modules.

Bugs fixed (2)

• #20738 from Shubham0699 - This fixes an issue in the bailiwicked DNS modules that was causing the module to fail with a stack trace due to a programming error.
• #20847 from dwelch-r7 - This updates the auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login module to remove stale documentation, remove unnecessary characters that were printed in the output and update the correct documentation with the new information about key usage.

Documentation added (1)

• #20665 from basicallyabidoof - Adds documentation for the ipv6_neighbor_router_advertisement module.
