A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in FileCOPA FTP Server versions prior to 1.01 (released on 18th July 2006). The vulnerability is triggered when a remote authenticated attacker sends an excessively long argument to the LIST command, resulting in a buffer overflow condition. This can allow the attacker to overwrite memory and potentially execute arbitrary code on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the FileCopa FTP Server (versions prior to July 18, 2006). The exploit abuses the LIST command to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's FTP mixin for connectivity and payload delivery. It supports two specific Windows targets: Windows 2000 Server SP4 English and Windows XP Pro SP2 Italian, each with a hardcoded return address for reliable exploitation. The payload is customizable (up to 400 bytes) and filtered for bad characters. The exploit requires valid FTP credentials and network access to the target service. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the FTP service, typically running on TCP port 21. The repository is operational and provides a working exploit for CVE-2006-3726.
