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.
