Summary0007735: Powershell Empire unable to use CSharp stagers/modules since update to 4.6.0-kali-0kali1
Description

Since updating to 4.6.0-kali-0kali1, Empire on Kali appears to be unable to generate C# stagers or utilize C# modules.

csharp_exe stager generates a "Sharpire.exe" file that contains the only the text "[!] Error in launcher command generation". C# modules give a "module compile failed" message when attempting to execute them.

I engaged BC Security on their Discord and one of their staff claims this is an issue with the Kali package of Empire:

I just tested and the Kali version is broken. Looks like they broke the recursive install

Steps To Reproduce
  • Start powershell-empire server
  • Connect with powershell-empire client
  • usestager windows/csharp_exe
  • execute
  • The message "[+] Sharpire.exe written to /var/lib/powershell-empire/empire/client/generated-stagers/Sharpire.exe" is displayed, but this file is not a valid executable and contains the error message "[!] Error in launcher command generation"
