Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the SetActiveXGUID method of the VersionInfo ActiveX control (GenVersion.dll 8.0.138.0) used in the WebHMI subsystem of ICONICS BizViz 9.x before 9.22 and GENESIS32 9.x before 9.22. The vulnerability is triggered by passing an overly long string as an argument to SetActiveXGUID, allowing an attacker to overwrite stack memory.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-2089) in the ICONICS WebHMI GenVersion.dll ActiveX control. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the Metasploit framework, which uses JavaScript to trigger the SetActiveXGUID method with a specially crafted payload. The module supports multiple targets, specifically Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on Windows XP SP3 and Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista. The exploit leverages ROP chains and heap spraying techniques to bypass protections and execute arbitrary shellcode, which is customizable via Metasploit's payload system. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring the victim to visit a malicious page. The module is operational and can be used to gain code execution on vulnerable systems. The only file in the repository is a Ruby script structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making use of the Metasploit framework's HTTP server and payload delivery mechanisms.
