TrackerCam 5.12 and earlier are vulnerable to multiple buffer overflow conditions. Specifically, a remote attacker can trigger a buffer overflow by sending an HTTP request with an excessively long User-Agent header or by supplying a long argument to an arbitrary PHP script handled by the application. These flaws are due to insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied input.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (trackercam_phparg_overflow.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2005-0478) in the TrackerCam web server for Windows. The exploit targets the 'userID' parameter of the /tuner/TunerGuide.php3 endpoint, allowing remote code execution with the privileges of the web server process. The module also leverages a directory traversal flaw via /tuner/ComGetLogFile.php3 to fingerprint the system and determine the Windows version by reading files such as boot.ini. The exploit is operational, providing customizable Metasploit payload delivery, and is effective against Windows 2000, Windows XP (SP0/SP1), and Windows NT 4.0 (SP4/SP5/SP6) systems running the vulnerable TrackerCam web server. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of fingerprinting, exploitation, and payload delivery logic.
