A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Ability Server 2.34, and possibly other versions, due to improper handling of input in the STOR command. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted, overly long STOR command, leading to a buffer overflow condition.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/ability_server_stor.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Ability Server FTP (versions 2.34, 2.32, and 2.25) on Windows XP SP2/SP3. The exploit targets the FTP service (default port 21) by sending a specially crafted 'STOR' command after authenticating with valid FTP credentials. The buffer overflow allows execution of arbitrary code, with the payload being user-selectable via Metasploit (e.g., reverse shell, meterpreter). The module includes logic to check for the vulnerable server version and supports multiple Windows XP targets with specific return addresses. The exploit is operational and requires network access to the FTP service and valid credentials.
