Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the TreeAction.do component of Sybase EAServer versions 4.2.5 through 5.2. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote authenticated user submits an excessively large 'javascript' parameter, leading to overflow of a stack buffer and potential execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sybase EAServer 5.2 Web Console (CVE-2005-2297). The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's HTTP client capabilities. The module constructs a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the '/WebConsole/Login.jsp' endpoint, overflowing a stack buffer and allowing for arbitrary code execution. The exploit's reliability depends on the Java version used by the target server. The payload is customizable and can be any Metasploit-compatible shellcode up to 1000 bytes, with specific bad characters avoided. The module is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable Sybase EAServer 5.2 installations running on Windows.
