Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2006-0476 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Nullsoft Winamp 5.12 triggered when Winamp processes a crafted playlist (.pls) containing an overly long file name in the "File1" field. Opening the malicious playlist causes memory corruption, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running Winamp.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in Winamp 5.11 and 5.12 (CVE-2006-0476). The exploit works by acting as an HTTP server that delivers a specially crafted .pls playlist file to victims who visit the attacker's server (typically via a web browser). The playlist contains a UNC path with an overly long computer name, which triggers a buffer overflow in Winamp when the playlist is opened, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports customizable payloads (up to 526 bytes) and filters out problematic characters. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain code execution on vulnerable systems. The only file in the repository is a Ruby script designed for use within the Metasploit framework.
