Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the SetSource method of the Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX control (version 1.0.0.15, PlayerPT.ocx) used by the Cisco WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet video camera. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker supplies an overly long string as the sURL argument to the SetSource method, resulting in a buffer overflow on the stack and allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2012-0284) in the Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX Control (version 1.0.0.15), which is installed with the web interface of the Cisco Linksys WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the Metasploit framework. When a victim visits the page using Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8 on Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP2, the exploit triggers a buffer overflow in the SetSource method of the ActiveX control, allowing for arbitrary code execution. The module uses heap spraying and, for IE8, a ROP chain to bypass protections. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the CLSID of the vulnerable ActiveX control. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single file.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow in the Cisco Linksys PlayerPT 1.0.0.15 ActiveX control (CVE-2012-0284). The exploit is weaponized and allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim's Windows system when the victim visits a malicious web page using Internet Explorer (versions 6-9) with the vulnerable ActiveX control installed. The module serves a crafted HTML page with embedded JavaScript that performs a heap spray and triggers the overflow via the SetSource method of the ActiveX control, exploiting the insecure use of sprintf. The exploit supports multiple target configurations, including various versions of Internet Explorer and Windows, and can deliver any Metasploit payload. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the HTTP server hosting the malicious page and the specific ActiveX classid. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file within the Metasploit framework, leveraging its payload and exploitation infrastructure.
