Cobalt Strike Beacon Object File for bypassing UAC via the CMSTPLUA COM interface.


Built by Tijme. Credits to Alex for teaching me! Made possible by Northwave Security


## Description

This is a Cobalt Strike (CS) Beacon Object File (BOF) which exploits the CMSTPLUA COM interface. It masquerade the PEB of the current process to a Windows process, and then utilises COM Elevation Moniker on the CMSTPLUA COM object in order to execute commands in an elevated context.



## Usage

Clone this repository first. Then review the code, compile from source and use it in Cobalt Strike.

**Compiling**

make

**Usage**

Load the `UACBypassCMSTPLUA.cna` script using the Cobalt Strike Script Manager. Then use the command below to execute a command while bypassing UAC.

$ uac_bypass_cmstplua [FILE] [PARAMETERS]

For example, to copy a file use:

$ uac_bypass_cmstplua powershell Copy-Item C:\temp\BluetoothApis.dll C:\System32\Windows\BluetoothApis.dll

To show a `whoami` on screen:

$ uac_bypass_cmstplua cmd /k whoami

## Warning

* This BOF spawns a new process (in which UAC is bypassed).
* This BOF does not read the output of the spawned process.
* This BOF does not bypass UAC on the beacon process itself.
