Loading vulnerability…
Worldweaver DX Studio Player versions prior to 3.0.29.1, when used as a Firefox plug-in, expose the shell.execute JavaScript API method without proper access restrictions. This allows remote attackers to craft malicious .dxstudio files that invoke shell.execute, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the victim's system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a command execution vulnerability in the Worldweaver DX Studio Player browser plugin (CVE-2009-2011). The exploit is designed for Windows systems running Internet Explorer or Firefox with the vulnerable plugin installed (version 3.0.29 or earlier). The module sets up a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page and a .dxstudio file. When a victim visits the attacker's page, the vulnerable plugin processes the .dxstudio file, which uses scripting features to write a batch file to disk and execute it via shell.execute(), allowing arbitrary command execution. The exploit uses a VBS command stager to deliver the payload. The main entry point is the 'on_request_uri' method, which handles both the initial HTML delivery and the payload. The only endpoints are the HTTP server (attacker-controlled) and the temporary batch file created on the victim. The module is operational and leverages Metasploit's framework for payload handling and delivery.
