EasyFTP 1.7.0.2 contains a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an unspecified function of its MKD command handler. A remote attacker can trigger the flaw through manipulation of that handler.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/easyftp_mkd_fixret.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in EasyFTP Server versions 1.7.0.11 and earlier (CVE-2011-10005). The exploit targets the FTP 'MKD' command, which is vulnerable due to insufficient input validation, allowing an attacker to overwrite the stack and execute arbitrary code. The module uses a 'fixRet' stub to bypass buffer size limitations and inject a larger payload. The attacker must have valid FTP credentials with directory creation permissions. The exploit is fully weaponized, allowing the user to select and deliver any Metasploit payload (such as a reverse shell) to the target Windows system. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the FTP service on the target host. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
