Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in HT-MP3Player version 1.0 due to improper handling of long strings in .ht3 files. An attacker can craft a malicious .ht3 file containing an overly long string, which, when opened by the application, triggers a buffer overflow on the stack, potentially allowing for arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2009-2485) in HT-MP3Player 1.0 for Windows. The exploit is implemented as a Ruby fileformat module that generates a malicious .HT3 file. When this file is manually opened by a user in the vulnerable player, it triggers a buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution with the user's privileges. The exploit leverages SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overwrite and supports customizable Metasploit payloads (up to 4108 bytes, UTF-8 safe, alphanumeric-mixed encoded). The module does not exploit a network service but rather relies on social engineering to convince a user to open the crafted file. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module and is operational, providing a working exploit for the specified vulnerability.
