Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the WWW Proxy Server component of Qbik WinGate version 6.1.1.1077. The vulnerability is triggered when the server processes an HTTP request containing an excessively long URL, leading to a buffer overflow on the stack. This can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the proxy server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Qbik WinGate WWW Proxy Server version 6.1.1.1077 and earlier (CVE-2006-2926). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the proxy service on TCP port 80, overflowing a buffer in the URL processing logic and allowing for arbitrary code execution. The module includes a check method to fingerprint the target by looking for the 'Server: WinGate 6.1.1 (Build 1077)' banner. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and is injected into the overflowed buffer. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain privileged code execution on vulnerable Windows systems running the affected WinGate proxy. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file within the Metasploit framework's exploit modules directory.
