Description

This module allows execution of native payloads from a privileged Firefox Javascript shell. It places the specified payload into memory, adds the necessary protection flags, and calls it, which can be useful for upgrading a Firefox javascript shell to a Meterpreter session without touching the disk.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
