Ubisoft uplay 2.0.3 ActiveX Control Arbitrary Code Execution

Disclosed

Description

The uplay ActiveX component allows an attacker to execute any command line action. User must sign in, unless auto-sign in is enabled and uplay must not already be running. Due to the way the malicious executable is served (WebDAV), the module must be run on port 80, so please make sure you have enough privilege to do that. Ubisoft released patch 2.04 as of Mon 20th July.

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.
