A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the AntServer module (AntServer.exe) of BigAnt IM Server as used in BigAnt Messenger 2.2. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a specially crafted long URI in a request to TCP port 6080, which can overflow a stack buffer and allow for remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the BigAnt Messaging Service, part of the BigAnt Server suite (version 2.50 SP1). The exploit targets the service running on TCP port 6660 and leverages a crafted 'GET' request to trigger the overflow, allowing for arbitrary code execution via a customizable Metasploit payload. The module supports multiple Windows targets, including Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro (SP0/SP1), and references CVE-2008-1914. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 6660, which is the default for the vulnerable service. The repository structure is typical for a Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in BigAnt Server 2.2 (CVE-2008-1914). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the server's TCP port 6080, triggering a SEH-based buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports customizable payloads up to 750 bytes, with specific bad characters avoided. It targets English versions of Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro SP0/SP1. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The code is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit module structure.
