Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the GomManager (GomWeb Control) ActiveX control, specifically in GomWeb3.dll version 1.0.0.12, as used by Gretech Online Movie Player (GOM Player) version 2.1.6.3499. The vulnerability is triggered by passing an excessively long argument to the OpenUrl method, resulting in a buffer overflow condition that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (gom_openurl.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the GOM Player ActiveX control (GomWeb3.dll) version 2.1.6.3499 (CVE-2007-5779). The exploit works by serving a malicious HTML page via an HTTP server. When a victim visits the page using a vulnerable Internet Explorer browser with the affected GOM Player ActiveX installed, the exploit triggers a buffer overflow via the OpenURL() method, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports customizable payloads and is weaponized for use within the Metasploit framework. The main attack vector is browser-based, and the exploit targets Windows XP SP2 Pro English systems. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server delivering the exploit and the specific ActiveX classid used to identify the vulnerable control.
