Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the BeginPrint method of the BarCodeAx.dll ActiveX control (version 4.9) from RKD Software. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker supplies an overly long argument to the BeginPrint method, resulting in a buffer overflow on the stack. This can be exploited via a malicious web page or script that instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control and passes crafted input.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (barcode_ax49.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the RKD Software BarCodeAx.dll v4.9 ActiveX control (CVE-2007-3435). The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page with embedded JavaScript. When a vulnerable client visits the page, the script invokes the BeginPrint method of the ActiveX control with an overly long string, triggering the buffer overflow and executing attacker-supplied shellcode. The module is operational and allows for customizable payloads via Metasploit. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server root ("/"), and the exploit specifically targets the BarCodeAx.dll ActiveX control identified by its CLSID. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module and is intended for use within the Metasploit Framework.
