Mac OS X Safari .webarchive File Format UXSS

Disclosed

Description

Generates a .webarchive file for Mac OS X Safari that will attempt to inject cross-domain Javascript (UXSS), silently install a browser extension, collect user information, steal the cookie database, and steal arbitrary local files. When opened on the target machine the webarchive file must not have the quarantine attribute set, as this forces the webarchive to execute in a sandbox.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
