Loading vulnerability…
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the RealAudioObjects.RealAudio ActiveX control (rmoc3260.dll) used by RealNetworks RealPlayer Enterprise, RealPlayer 10, RealPlayer 10.5 (prior to build 6.0.12.1675), and RealPlayer 11 (prior to 11.0.3 build 6.0.14.806). The vulnerability is triggered by improper memory management of the Console and Controls properties, where repeated assignments of long string values can lead to an overwrite of freed heap memory, enabling remote code execution or denial of service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (realplayer_console.rb) that exploits a heap corruption vulnerability (CVE-2008-1309) in the RealPlayer rmoc3260.dll ActiveX control. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by Metasploit's HTTP server. When a victim using a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer on Windows XP visits the page, JavaScript code interacts with the RealPlayer ActiveX control's 'Console' property, triggering a heap corruption and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports customizable payloads, enabling the attacker to execute code of their choice on the victim's system. The main attack vector is through the browser, specifically targeting users who visit the malicious page. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server delivering the exploit and the CLSID of the vulnerable ActiveX control. The repository is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework.
