Description

This module searches for Obsidian vaults for a user, and uploads a malicious community plugin to the vault. The vaults must be opened with community plugins enabled (NOT restricted mode), but the plugin will be enabled automatically. Tested against Obsidian 1.7.7 on Kali, Ubuntu 22.04, and Windows 10.

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.
