A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the CrystalReports12.CrystalPrintControl.1 ActiveX control (PrintControl.dll version 12.3.2.753) as used in SAP Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.2. The vulnerability is triggered by supplying an overly long value to the ServerResourceVersion property, which can result in memory corruption and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected control.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-2590) in the Crystal Reports 2008 PrintControl ActiveX (PrintControl.dll 12.0.0.683). The exploit is weaponized and leverages a malicious HTML page served by the attacker's HTTP server. When a victim visits the page using Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8 on Windows XP SP3 or Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 SP1, the exploit triggers a buffer overflow via the ServerResourceVersion property of the vulnerable ActiveX control (CLSID: 88DD90B6-C770-4CFF-B7A4-3AFD16BB8824). The module uses JavaScript heap spraying and ROP techniques to bypass DEP and ASLR, ultimately executing a customizable Metasploit payload (such as a reverse shell) on the victim's system. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with options for JavaScript obfuscation and automatic target selection based on the victim's user agent. The only file present is the exploit module itself, written in Ruby.
