A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the web proxy component of GateKeeper Pro version 4.7. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends a specially crafted, excessively long GET request to the proxy, resulting in a buffer overflow condition. This flaw allows for the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Proxy-Pro Professional GateKeeper 4.7 (CVE-2004-0326). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to the service's default TCP port 3128. The buffer overflow allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable service. The module is written in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's payload system, allowing the user to select from a variety of payloads (such as reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions). The exploit is operational and requires the target to be running the vulnerable version of the software, listening on the default port. No hardcoded IPs or URLs are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 3128. The repository structure is typical for a Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
