CVE-2011-1774 is a vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before version 5.0.6, due to improper security settings in the libxslt library. This flaw allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files on the victim's system by enticing them to visit a specially crafted website. The ability to create arbitrary files can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code, leading to full compromise of the affected system. The vulnerability is related to the handling of XSLT transformations and may overlap with CVE-2011-1425.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/browser/safari_xslt_output.rb) that exploits CVE-2011-1774, a file creation vulnerability in Apple Safari's Webkit libxslt implementation on Windows XP (Safari 5). The exploit works by serving a malicious XML/XSLT file to a vulnerable browser. The XSLT engine is tricked into writing arbitrary files to the filesystem, specifically a VBS script containing the attacker's payload and a MOF file that triggers execution of the VBS via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The module is operational and provides remote code execution on the target. The main attack vector is through a browser (Safari 5 or Maxthon on Windows XP) visiting a malicious web page. The module is written in Ruby and is part of the Metasploit framework. The only fingerprintable endpoints are the file paths used for the MOF and VBS files on the target system.
This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module: 'webkit_xslt_dropper.rb'. The module exploits CVE-2011-1774, a vulnerability in Webkit's XSLT processing, to drop arbitrary files on the target's file system. It works by serving a specially crafted XML/XSLT payload via an HTTP server. When a vulnerable Webkit-based browser visits the malicious server, the XSLT payload causes the browser to write a file (with attacker-specified name and content) to a location on the target system, defaulting to 'C:\Program Files\flag.txt' with the content 'Hello from CVE-2011-1774'. The module is configurable for both file path and content. The attack vector is network-based, requiring the victim to visit the attacker's web server. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit Framework.
