A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the kweditcontrol.kwedit.1 ActiveX control (kwedit.dll) used by the SAP GUI. The vulnerability is triggered by passing an overly long argument to the PrepareToPostHTML function, allowing an attacker to overwrite stack memory.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-3605) in the SAP KWEdit ActiveX Control (kwedit.dll 6400.1.1.41) used by EnjoySAP GUI. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the attacker's HTTP server. When a victim visits the page, JavaScript instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control (identified by CLSID 2137278D-EF5C-11D3-96CE-0004AC965257) and calls its PrepareToPostHTML() method with an overly long string, triggering the buffer overflow and executing attacker-supplied shellcode. The module supports multiple Windows targets (XP Pro SP0/SP1, 2000 Pro) and leverages Metasploit's payload system for arbitrary code execution. The structure is typical for a Metasploit browser exploit: it includes HTTP server logic, payload generation, and dynamic HTML/JavaScript content creation to trigger the vulnerability.
