Loading vulnerability…
A vulnerability in Apple QuickTime Java extensions (QTJava.dll), specifically in the toQTPointer method of the quicktime.util.QTHandleRef class, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. By passing crafted parameters to this method, attackers can modify arbitrary memory locations when creating QTPointerRef objects. This vulnerability is exploitable via web browsers such as Safari when Java is enabled, as demonstrated at the CanSecWest 2007 "PWN 2 OWN" contest.

This repository contains a Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/browser/qtjava_pointer.rb) that exploits CVE-2007-2175, an arbitrary memory access vulnerability in Apple's QuickTime 7 Java API (QTJava). The exploit acts as a malicious HTTP server, delivering a crafted HTML page that loads a Java applet (QTJavaExploit.class) to the victim's browser. The module dynamically patches the Java applet with a Metasploit payload appropriate for the detected target (Windows x86, Mac OS X PPC, or Mac OS X x86). When a vulnerable user visits the attacker's page, the applet is executed, leading to arbitrary code execution on the victim's system. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and targeting multiple platforms. The main entry point is the Ruby file itself, which leverages Metasploit's HttpServer::HTML mixin to serve the exploit content.
