Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Online Registration Facility of Algorithmic Research PrivateWire VPN software up to version 3.7. The vulnerability is triggered by a long GET request, which can overflow a buffer and allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ADMCREG.EXE component of the PrivateWire Online Registration Facility (CVE-2006-3252). The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit Framework's HTTP client capabilities. It constructs a specially crafted HTTP request with an oversized URI, embedding a customizable payload (up to 8000 bytes) that is executed on the target system if the overflow is successful. The exploit targets specific versions of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 (English, various service packs), and requires knowledge of the installation path of the PrivateWire application (default: C:\Cipgw). The module allows for payload customization and is operational, providing remote code execution upon successful exploitation. No hardcoded network endpoints are present, as the target is specified at runtime. The repository structure is typical for a Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
