Maxthon3 about:history XCS Trusted Zone Code Execution
Description
Cross Context Scripting (XCS) is possible in the Maxthon about:history page. Injection in such privileged/trusted browser zone can be used to modify configuration settings and execute arbitrary commands. Please note this module only works against specific versions of XCS. Currently, we've only successfully tested on Maxthon 3.1.7 build 600 up to 3.2.2 build 1000.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
