WebAdmin contains a buffer overflow in WebAdmin.exe that is reachable through an HTTP request to WebAdmin.dll. Supplying an overly long USER argument can overflow the affected buffer and enable remote arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2003-0471) in Alt-N WebAdmin (versions 2.0.1 to 2.0.4) for Windows. The exploit abuses insufficient bounds checking on the 'USER' parameter in HTTP POST requests to /WebAdmin.DLL, allowing remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges. The module automatically detects the WebAdmin version and selects the appropriate return address for exploitation. The payload is customizable (up to 830 bytes, with specific bad characters avoided) and is delivered as part of the crafted POST request. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain full control of vulnerable systems. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the Metasploit framework.
