lastore-daemon D-Bus Privilege Escalation

This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges on Deepin Linux systems by using lastore-daemon to install a package. The lastore-daemon D-Bus configuration on Deepin Linux 15.5 permits any user in the sudo group to install arbitrary system packages without providing a password, resulting in code execution as root. By default, the first user created on the system is a member of the sudo group. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully with lastore-daemon version 0.9.53-1 on Deepin Linux 15.5 (x64).
