Introduction

This module exploits an autoelevate feature in the windows backup system's sdclt.exe binary to run as a higher integrity process.

Usage

  1. Create a session on the target system under the context of a local administrative user.

  2. Begin interacting with the module: use exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_sdclt.

  3. Set the PAYLOAD and configure it correctly.

  4. If an existing handler is configured to receive the elevated session, then the module's handler should be disabled: set DisablePayloadHandler true.

  5. Make sure that the SESSION value is set to the existing session identifier.

  6. Invoke the module: run.
