CVE-2011-10028 affects the RealNetworks RealArcade platform via an ActiveX control, InstallerDlg.dll version 2.6.0.445. The control exposes the StubbyUtil.ProcessMgr COM object and its Exec method to web content. The Exec method permits execution of attacker-supplied commands on the local Windows system without proper validation or restriction. In practice, this is an unsafe ActiveX method exposure that allows a remote attacker to invoke local process execution through the browser context when the vulnerable control is present.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a vulnerability in the Real Networks Arcade Games ActiveX control (InstallerDlg.dll v2.6.0.445). The exploit is designed for use in the Metasploit Framework and leverages the vulnerable 'exec' function to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's Windows machine. The attack is performed by hosting a malicious web page that, when visited by a vulnerable Internet Explorer user, triggers the ActiveX control to download and execute a payload from the attacker's server. The payload is a Windows executable generated by Metasploit, delivered via HTTP, and executed using a custom VBScript stager. The exploit requires the victim to have the vulnerable ActiveX control installed and to visit the attacker's web page. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file implementing the Metasploit module, with embedded logic for payload delivery and execution. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the attacker's server details are configured at runtime.
