Description

This module exploits a flaw in the WSReset.exe Windows Store Reset Tool. The tool is run with the "autoElevate" property set to true, however it can be moved to a new Windows directory containing a space (C:\Windows \System32\) where, upon execution, it will load our payload dll (propsys.dll).

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.
