Ubisoft uplay 2.0.3 ActiveX Control Arbitrary Code Execution
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.

- 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.
