Loading vulnerability…
The StopModule method in the NTR ActiveX control (prior to version 2.0.4.8) contains a vulnerability where the lModule parameter is insufficiently validated, allowing an attacker to supply a crafted value. This value is subsequently used as a function pointer, enabling execution of arbitrary code at an attacker-controlled memory address.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2012-0267) in the NTR ActiveX 1.1.8.0 control, specifically in the StopModule() method. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the attacker's HTTP server. When a victim using Internet Explorer 6 or 7 on Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista visits the page, JavaScript heap spraying is used to prepare memory, and the vulnerable ActiveX control is invoked with a crafted parameter, leading to arbitrary code execution. The module allows the attacker to deliver any Metasploit payload, such as a reverse shell or meterpreter session. The main entry point is the 'on_request_uri' method, which handles incoming HTTP requests and serves the exploit page. The exploit is operational and customizable, but requires the victim to have the vulnerable ActiveX control installed and to visit the attacker's page.
