The extSetOwner function in the UfProxyBrowserCtrl ActiveX control (UfPBCtrl.dll) in Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 contains a vulnerability where an attacker can supply an invalid address that is dereferenced as a pointer. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the vulnerable ActiveX control, typically via a malicious web page.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2010-3189) in Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010's ActiveX control (UfPBCtrl.dll, version 17.50.0.1366). The exploit is weaponized and leverages Metasploit's HTTP server to deliver a malicious HTML/JavaScript page to victims using Internet Explorer. The exploit performs a heap spray with attacker-supplied shellcode and triggers the vulnerability by calling the extSetOwner() method of the vulnerable ActiveX control, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is highly customizable, supporting any Metasploit payload, and is effective against Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP2 with Internet Explorer 7. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the HTTP server delivering the exploit, the specific ActiveX CLSID, and the vulnerable DLL file. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
