A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the Tabular Data Control (TDC) ActiveX control in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 (including 6 SP1 and versions on Windows XP SP2/SP3). The vulnerability is triggered by passing a long URL to the DataURL parameter, leading to memory corruption in the CTDCCtl::SecurityCHeckDataURL function. This can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running Internet Explorer.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploiting CVE-2010-0805, a memory corruption vulnerability in the Tabular Data Control ActiveX component of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML/JavaScript page. When a victim visits the page using a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer, the exploit uses heap spraying and a specially crafted 'DataURL' parameter to trigger a buffer overflow in the ActiveX control (CLSID: 333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83). This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code, typically a shell or Meterpreter session, on the victim's machine. The module is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing for customizable payloads and automated exploitation. The only file present is the Ruby module itself, which contains all exploit logic and payload delivery mechanisms.
