| 1 | +## Vulnerable Application |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This module writes an execution trigger to the target's Bash profile. |
| 4 | +The execution trigger executes a call back payload whenever the target |
| 5 | +user opens a Bash terminal. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Verified on Ubuntu 22.04 and 18.04 desktop with Gnome |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Verification Steps |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +1. Start `msfconsole` |
| 12 | +2. Get a Meterpreter session |
| 13 | +3. `use exploit/linux/local/bash_profile_persistence` |
| 14 | +4. `set SESSION [SESSION]` |
| 15 | +5. `run` |
| 16 | +6. On victim, open a new Bash terminal |
| 17 | +7. You should get a new session with the permissions of the exploited user account |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Options |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### BASH_PROFILE |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The path to the target Bash profile. Defaults to `.bashrc` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### PAYLOAD_NAME |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Name of the payload file. Defaults to random |
| 28 | + |
