BeyondTrust and Fetch Payload

Metasploit Weekly Wrap-Up 02/21/2025

This Metasploit release includes an exploit module that chains two vulnerabilities, one exploited in the wild by APT groups and another one, a 0-day discovered by Rapid7 during the vulnerability analysis.
In addition to that, a significant improvement was made to Fetch-Payloads by adding support for the ppc, mips and arm architectures. This allows the payloads to be used in exploits that commonly target embedded systems.

Enhancements and features (3)

  • #19884 from adfoster-r7 – Add OSVDB search functionality to msfconsole e.g. search osvdb:67241.
  • #19885 from adfoster-r7 – Improve msfconsole’s module search performance by caching search regexes.
  • #19887 from adfoster-r7 – Updates the reload_lib command to ignore Gemfiles.

Bugs fixed (3)

  • #19810 from h00die – Adds a verification to the file content checks so that we don’t crash when trying to open files that do not exist and adds proper CVE to references section now that a CVE exists.
  • #19871 from bwatters-r7 – This fix the ELF template file for Linux aarch64 payloads.
  • #19875 from dledda-r7 – Adds a fix for the odd behavior of the read syscall on Raspberrypi 4b. For some reason, on the Raspberry Pi 4B, the data read from the socket is not present immediately after the read syscall, so we added a sync syscall. This behavior is not present in Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi 5, emulators, or Microsoft’s AARCH64 Devkit.
