Loading vulnerability…
The Compressed Folders feature in Plus! for Windows 98 and Windows Me, when configured with password protection, stores password information insecurely by writing it to a file. This allows local users to recover the password and gain unauthorized access to the contents of the compressed folders.

This repository contains a single Metasploit post-exploitation module: 'Windows Gather DynaZIP Saved Password Extraction'. The module is written in Ruby and is designed to be run on a compromised Windows system (specifically Microsoft Plus! 98 or Windows Me) via a Meterpreter or shell session. Its purpose is to extract cleartext passwords from the 'dynazip.log' file, which records passwords used to encrypt ZIP files. The module locates the log file in the Windows directory, parses it for ZIP file paths and their associated passwords, and outputs the results in a table. The exploit targets CVE-2001-0152 and is useful for credential extraction in post-exploitation scenarios. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the file path '%WINDIR%\dynazip.log'. The repository is a single-file Metasploit module with no additional files or dependencies.
