rex-text, rex-random_identifier, rex-powershell, rex-zip, and rex-registry
are now being pulled in as gems instead of part of the spgehtti code that is lib/rex
The exception handling in the #exploit_simple method tries to set
error on exploit but exploit is defined within the begin block
causing a noMethodError on nilClass
MS-1608
Fix#6371
When a browser fails to bind (probably due to an invalid port or
server IP), the module actually fails to report this exception from
exception, the method calls exploit.handle_exception(e). But since
handle_exception is not a valid method for that object, it is unable
to do so, and as a result the module fails to properly terminate
the module, or show any error on the console. For the user, this will
make it look like the module has started, the payload listener is up,
but there is no exploit job.
Rex::BindFailed actually isn't the only error that could be raised
by #job_run_proc. As far as I can tell registering the same resource
again could, too. With this patch, the user should be able to see this
error too.
Since the exploit object does not have access to the methods in
Msf::Simple::Exploit, plus there is no other code using
handle_exception and setup_fail_detail_from_exception, I decided
to move these to lib/msf/core/exploit.rb so they are actually
callable.
Some exploits currently succeed, but can fail during cleanup, leading to a
false-negative. Reverting this so that the affected exploits can be fixed
first.
This reverts commits b0858e9d46 and
b3f754136e.
Auxiiary modules already do this, but looks like we forgot to do the
same for post modules.
I also changed the error to allow "reason" in order to be more
informative about what the user should do.
Fix#4307
If the user supplies an invalid session (as in not on the session
list), it will cause a backtrace, because the setup method from
Msf::PostMixin isn't actually called.
We have thought about implementing this in a new OptSession instead.
But you can't use or even pass framework to option_container.rb, so
this is NOT possible.
The original PR was #3956.

Calling init_module_paths takes 6 seconds on my machine even when there are no
files to that are changed just because it takes that long to walk the
directories and gather the mtime for each file. Therefore, calling it
more than once should be avoided. Also, there is no reason to call it
twice as to add paths later, `modules.add_module_paths` should be used.

Fully-qualify `Msf::MODULE_TYPES`, `Msf::MODULE_ANY`,
Msf::MODULE_ENCODER`, `Msf::MODULE_EXPLOIT`, `Msf::MODULE_NOP`,
`Msf::MODULE_AUX`, `Msf::MODULE_PAYLOAD`, `Msf::MODULE_POST` so that
their usage isn't dependent on nested lexical scoping.
On August 15, shuckins-r7 merged the Metasploit 4.10.0 branch
(staging/electro-release) into master. Rather than merging with
history, he squashed all history into two commits (see
149c3ecc63 and
82760bf5b3).
We want to preserve history (for things like git blame, git log, etc.).
So on August 22, we reverted the commits above (see
19ba7772f3).
This merge commit merges the staging/electro-release branch
(62b81d6814) into master
(48f0743d1b). It ensures that any changes
committed to master since the original squashed merge are retained.
As a side effect, you may see this merge commit in history/blame for the
time period between August 15 and August 22.
This fixes a huge number of hard-to-detect runtime bugs
that occur when a default utf-8 string from one of these
libraries is passed into a method expecting ascii-8bit

Allow rails engines (and other applications, like
Metasploit::Pro::Engine::Application) to define their own module paths
using the paths['modules'] entry for Rails Applications/Engines.
