CVE-2012-0202 is a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the tm1admsd.exe component of IBM Cognos TM1 Admin Server, affecting versions 9.4.1 and 9.5.x prior to 9.5.2 FP2 on AIX, Solaris, and Windows. The flaw allows remote attackers with network access to the Admin Server's listening port to send specially crafted data, causing a buffer overflow that can crash the daemon or potentially allow arbitrary code execution under the privileges of the service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2012-0202) in IBM Cognos Express 9.5's tm1admsd.exe Admin service on Windows XP SP3. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted TCP packet to the service's default port (5498), triggering a buffer overflow via unchecked memcpy usage. The module allows the attacker to deliver and execute arbitrary shellcode payloads (up to 10359 bytes) with the privileges of the vulnerable service. The code is written in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's payload and networking capabilities. The repository is structured as a single exploit file, with no additional scripts or resources.
