Hi !

I do not think there are other ways to use xp_cmdshell (as I don't think there 
are many ways to launch an cmd command ...), but there are a couple of useful 
undocumented extended procedures basic MS DBAs do not get ride of when securing 
ther DBs :)

For example, "exec master..xp_dirtree" will give you the same than your "exec 
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell "dir"; --"

You will get more infos here:

Hope this helps !

Objet : xp_cmdshell with low permission

Hello all,

I'm conducting a pentest on a IIS/Coldfusion/MSSQL server.
I've found a sql injection flaw, but the server does not allow me to run 
"xp_cmdshell" commands.

I use the following trick : exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell "dir"; --

The server response :
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'master', owner 
'dbo'.

I understand the coldfusion script use a low privileged user. So, two questions 
:

- Is there another way to use xp_cmdshell ?
- Is it possible to change the current user ? (like 
http://../script?param=1';user(sa,"sa");exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell "dir"; --

Thanks in advance for ideas.

FRED
