CVE-2003-0822 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the debug functionality of fp30reg.dll in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) 2000 and 2002. The flaw can be triggered by sending a crafted HTTP request using chunked transfer encoding to a server running the vulnerable FPSE components. Available context indicates the issue is reachable remotely without authentication through FPSE's remote debugging support, and successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the Microsoft IIS ISAPI FrontPage fp30reg.dll chunked encoding buffer overflow vulnerability (MS03-051, CVE-2003-0822). The exploit is designed for Windows 2000 systems (SP0-SP3) and leverages a crafted HTTP POST request with 'Transfer-Encoding: Chunked' to overflow a buffer in the fp30reg.dll ISAPI extension. The module allows the attacker to specify the path to the vulnerable DLL (default: /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll) and delivers a customizable Metasploit payload for arbitrary code execution. The exploit attempts the attack multiple times, refreshing the target process as needed, and includes a check method to detect the presence of the vulnerability. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure.
