Stack Buffer Overflow in HP Power Manager formExportDataLogs

This repository is a small standalone exploit repo containing one Python exploit script and a README. The script targets CVE-2009-3999 in HP Power Manager 4.2 Build 7 by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the web interface endpoint /goform/formExportDataLogs. Structurally, the exploit has three main parts: (1) automatic shellcode generation via a local msfvenom invocation for windows/shell_reverse_tcp with explicit bad characters, (2) exploit buffer construction using an egg marker plus shellcode in the Accept header and an egghunter placed in the overflowing fileName parameter, and (3) delivery over a raw TCP socket followed by launching a local netcat listener. The exploit is operational rather than a simple PoC because it automates payload generation and listener setup, but it still uses a basic hardcoded reverse shell workflow. Fingerprintable target-side indicators include the HP Power Manager export logs path /goform/formExportDataLogs and referer path /Contents/exportLogs.asp?logType=Application. The README confirms intended use against HP Power Manager 4.2 Build 7 and shows an example resulting in a SYSTEM-level reverse shell on Windows.

Repository contains a single Python 3 exploit script and a short README. The exploit targets CVE-2009-3999 in HP Power Manager 4.2 (Build 7), specifically the web endpoint /goform/formExportDataLogs. It crafts an HTTP POST where the form field fileName is overflowed with a buffer composed of padding, a NOP sled, an egghunter stub, a short jump, and an overwritten return address (noted as a gadget in DevManBE.exe: "pop esi; pop ebx; ret 10"). The actual payload shellcode is stored separately in the HTTP Accept header, prefixed with an egg marker ("b33fb33f") so the egghunter can locate it in memory and transfer execution. The README instructs generating a Windows reverse_tcp shell payload with msfvenom and pasting it into the script. After sending the exploit to <RHOST>:<RPORT>, the script runs 'sudo nc -nlvp <LPORT>' to catch the reverse shell. Overall purpose: achieve remote code execution on a vulnerable HP Power Manager instance over the network via a classic stack buffer overflow with egghunter technique.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Power Manager's web interface (CVE-2009-3999). The exploit abuses the 'fileName' parameter in a POST request to the /goform/formExportDataLogs endpoint, causing a buffer overflow that allows for arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM. The module uses an egghunter to locate the payload in memory and is capable of delivering any Metasploit-compatible payload. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to have network access to the vulnerable HP Power Manager web interface running on Windows XP SP3 or Windows Server 2003 SP0. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single file.
