Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the NeoTraceExplorer.NeoTraceLoader ActiveX control (NeoTraceExplorer.dll) in NeoTrace Express 3.25 and NeoTrace Pro 3.25 (also known as McAfee Visual Trace). The vulnerability is triggered by passing an overly long argument string to the TraceTarget method, which can result in execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the McAfee Visual Trace 3.25 ActiveX Control (NeoTraceExplorer.dll 1.0.0.1), identified as CVE-2006-6707. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the Metasploit framework, which instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control in Internet Explorer and calls its TraceTarget() method with an overly long string, triggering the overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpServer::HTML mixin to serve the exploit. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the vulnerable DLL (NeoTraceExplorer.dll) and its CLSID. The exploit is operational and allows for arbitrary payloads to be executed on vulnerable Windows XP SP2 systems running the affected ActiveX control.
