Earlier this week we announced the release of Metasploit 6.3 which came with a tonne of new modules and improvements.
The whole team worked super hard on this and we're very excited that everyone can now get their hands on it and all of the new features it has to offer!
I won't go over everything we did here because we have a whole separate blog post dedicated to the 6.3 release that you should check out if you missed it.
Dirty Cow available on macOS
We have a new module provided by timwr to exploit Dirty Cow on macOS. This module exploits a race condition in the kernel that gives the opportunity for a user to get code execution as root.

Enhancements and features (11)
- #16946 from cgranleese-r7 - Updates the
show targets and show actions command to display a visual indicator beside the currently selected value.
- #17481 from h00die - An update has been made to the
modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/options.rb module to modernize a few of its options, tidy up the code, and to handle an edge case when a target server might respond with a Tomcat error page.
- #17504 from ErikWynter - Two aliases for
show favorites have been added, namely favorite -l and favorites, to allow for easier listing of modules that users have marked as their favorites.
- #17559 from cgranleese-r7 - Adds support for Ruby 3.2
- #17560 from adfoster-r7 - Updates the Kerberos inspect_ticket module to show unsupported pac buffer ul_types in a clearer way to the user.
- #17563 from bcoles - Improves documentation and code quality for
modules/exploits/multi/local.
- #17564 from serializingme - Improves the
CIPCTlv definition for the exploits/windows/local/anyconnect_lpe module.
- #17570 from zeroSteiner - The list of default queries used by the ldap_query module has been updated to add in the
ENUM_DOMAIN and ENUM_MACHINE_ACCOUNT_QUOTA queries and to make some small updates to existing queries.
- #17575 from zeroSteiner - Updates the Kerberos ccache functionality to automatically perform sname switching on Service Tickets when the ticket sname does not match the Metasploit module's required sname. This allows for a service ticket associated with the SPN
service_a/host.domain.local to be used and updated to service_b/host.domain.local dynamically as part of service authentication.
- #17577 from bcoles - Updates
modules/exploits/qnx to run the check command before attempting to exploit the target.
- #17581 from bcoles - This PR modifies the conditions in 45 local privilege escalation modules to check whether the operator set
ForceExploit to true before checking the permissions required for exploitation on the remote target, which is more efficient and quieter over the network.
Bugs fixed (4)
- #17444 from hamax97 - A bug has been fixed whereby issuing a command line argument that contained nested equals signs would not be parsed correctly, and would instead be treated as two separate command line statements.
- #17557 from zeroSteiner - This fixes the logon timestamp in the MS14-068 exploit so the generated ticket works.
- #17558 from cgranleese-r7 - Fixes running msfconsole's
analyze command crashing when a WinRM session was opened.
- #17561 from gwillcox-r7 - This fixes the direction for some Railgun function definitions in iphlpapi.
Documentation added (1)
- #17565 from adfoster-r7 - Updates the docs site to add color to Metasploit console examples.
