Motorola Timbuktu Pro 8.6.5 for Windows contains a stack-based buffer overflow in processing of input sent through the PlughNTCommand named pipe. A remotely supplied long malformed string can overwrite stack memory and enable arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Timbuktu Pro (version 8.6.6 and earlier) on Windows. The exploit targets the 'PlughNTCommand' named pipe over SMB. The attack is performed in two stages: first, a memory leak is triggered to obtain stack addresses by abusing the nNumberOfBytesToWrite argument, and then the actual buffer overflow is performed using the leaked information to reliably execute arbitrary code. The module supports customizable Metasploit payloads (default space: 2048 bytes) and is capable of granting the attacker code execution with the privileges of the Timbuktu Pro process. The exploit requires network access to the target's SMB service and is operational, but not weaponized (payloads are customizable but not fully automated for mass exploitation). The only fingerprintable endpoint is the '\PlughNTCommand' named pipe accessed via SMB.
