CVE-2010-3654 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 9.0.289.0 and 10.x before 10.1.102.64 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, and before 10.1.95.1 on Android. The issue also affects authplay.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4, including the corresponding AuthPlayLib.bundle/libauthplay.so components. A remote attacker can trigger the flaw by supplying crafted SWF content, including SWF embedded in web pages, PDF files, Microsoft Office documents, or other containers that render Flash content. Successful exploitation can corrupt memory and lead to arbitrary code execution or application crash. The vulnerability was reported as exploited in the wild in October 2010.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (adobe_flashplayer_button.rb) that exploits CVE-2010-3654, a remote code execution vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player (versions 9.x and 10.0) and applications embedding Flash, such as Adobe Reader and Acrobat. The exploit works by generating a malicious PDF file ('msf.pdf') containing a specially crafted SWF file ('CVE-2010-3654.swf') and JavaScript for heap spraying. When a vulnerable target opens the PDF, the embedded Flash content triggers the vulnerability, allowing arbitrary code execution via a ret2lib technique to bypass DEP. The module allows the attacker to specify a Metasploit payload, which is encoded and delivered to the target. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of SWF creation, JavaScript heap spray, and PDF generation logic. No network endpoints are present; the attack vector is file-based, requiring user interaction to open the malicious PDF.
