CVE-2023-34634 affects Greenshot 1.2.10 and earlier. The vulnerability arises because .NET content embedded in a .greenshot file is insecurely deserialized when the file is opened. This unsafe deserialization condition allows attacker-controlled serialized data to be processed by the application without adequate validation or restriction, enabling execution of arbitrary code in the context of the user running Greenshot.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a .NET deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2023-34634) in Greenshot version 1.3.274 and below on Windows. The exploit works by generating a malicious Greenshot file (with a .greenshot extension) that embeds a .NET deserialization payload. When a victim opens this file in Greenshot, arbitrary commands are executed with the privileges of the user running the application. The module allows the attacker to specify a base PNG file or use a default one, appends the deserialization payload, and creates a file that can be delivered to the target. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction to open the crafted file. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports customizable payloads.
