Loading vulnerability…
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the WindsPlayerIE.View.1 ActiveX control (WindsPly.ocx) versions 3.5.0.0 Beta, 3.0.0.5, and earlier, as used in AwingSoft Awakening Web3D Player and Winds3D Viewer. The vulnerability is triggered by supplying an overly long value to the SceneUrl property, leading to memory corruption. This is distinct from CVE-2009-2386.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (awingsoft_web3d_bof.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2009-4588) in the AwingSoft Winds3D Player ActiveX control (WindsPly.ocx) via the 'SceneURL' property. The exploit targets users running Internet Explorer 6 or 7 on Windows XP with the vulnerable ActiveX control installed. When a victim visits a malicious web page served by the attacker, the module delivers a specially crafted HTML/JavaScript payload that overflows a buffer in the ActiveX control, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and allows the attacker to specify a custom Metasploit payload. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring user interaction (visiting the attacker's page). The module references the vulnerable ActiveX control by its CLSID and serves the exploit over HTTP. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit Framework.
