Print Spooler Remote DLL Injection

Created
07/08/2021

Description

The print spooler service can be abused by an authenticated remote attacker to load a DLL through a crafted DCERPC request, resulting in remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. This module uses the MS-RPRN vector which requires the Print Spooler service to be running.

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.
