Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in McAfee Security-as-a-Service.
The ShowReport() function (located in the myCIOScn.dll ActiveX component) fails
to check the FileName argument, and passes it on to a ShellExecuteW() function,
therefore allows any malicious attacker to execute any process that's on the
local system. However, if the victim machine is connected to a remote share
(or something similar), then it's also possible to execute arbitrary code.
Please note that a custom template is required for the payload, because the
default Metasploit template is detectable by McAfee -- any Windows binary, such
as calc.exe or notepad.exe, should bypass McAfee fine.
