Description

This module exploits a file creation vulnerability in the Webkit
rendering engine. It is possible to redirect the output of a XSLT
transformation to an arbitrary file. The content of the created file must be
ASCII or UTF-8. The destination path can be relative or absolute. This module
has been tested on Safari and Maxthon. Code execution can be achieved by first
uploading the payload to the remote machine in VBS format, and then upload a MOF
file, which enables Windows Management Instrumentation service to execute the VBS.
