Rapid7 Metasploit Framework msfvenom APK Template Command Injection

[Kev]

This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability in Metasploit Framework's msfvenom payload generator when using a crafted APK file as an Android payload template. Affected includes Metasploit Framework versions 6.0.11 and below and Metasploit Pro versions 4.18.0 and below.

          This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in Metasploit Framework's msfvenom
          payload generator when using a crafted APK file as an Android payload template. Affects
          Metasploit Framework <= 6.0.11 and Metasploit Pro <= 4.18.0. The file produced by this
          module is a relatively empty yet valid-enough APK file. To trigger the vulnerability,
          the victim user should do the following:

          msfvenom -p android/<...> -x <crafted_file.apk>
        },
