Loading vulnerability…
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in Computer Associates (CA) BrightStor Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) before r11.6. The vulnerabilities are present in the CsAgent service, which fails to properly validate a length parameter in certain service commands with specific opcodes. This lack of validation allows remote attackers to send specially crafted requests that trigger buffer overflows on the stack, leading to the possibility of arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a Metasploit module that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-5082) in Computer Associates BrightStor HSM 11.5 for Windows. The exploit targets the service running on TCP port 2000 by sending a specially crafted request that overflows a buffer, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing the user to select and customize payloads (up to 1026 bytes, with certain bad characters). The exploit is weaponized, providing reliable code execution as a privileged user if successful. The only file present is a Ruby script implementing the exploit logic, using Metasploit's TCP and SEH exploitation mixins. No hardcoded IP addresses or URLs are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the default TCP port 2000 used by the vulnerable service.
