The Energizer DUO USB battery charger software installs UsbCharger.dll, which in turn drops Arucer.dll into the %WINDIR%\system32 directory. Arucer.dll opens a backdoor on TCP port 7777, allowing remote attackers to download and execute arbitrary programs on the affected Windows system. This backdoor is hardcoded and does not require authentication, providing attackers with full remote code execution capabilities.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting systems infected with the Arucer.dll trojan, which was distributed with the Energizer DUO USB battery charger software. The exploit connects to the backdoor installed by the trojan, which listens on TCP port 7777, and uploads a user-specified executable payload to a random file in the C:\ directory. It then instructs the backdoor to execute the uploaded payload, enabling arbitrary code execution on the compromised Windows system. The module leverages Metasploit's payload generation and is fully weaponized, allowing the operator to select any compatible payload. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the TCP port 7777 (used by the backdoor) and the file path on the target system where the payload is written and executed. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of command encoding, payload upload, and execution logic.
