CVE-2012-1533 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Deployment component of Oracle Java SE, affecting JRE 7 Update 7 and earlier, and 6 Update 35 and earlier. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. It is distinct from CVE-2012-3159 and is part of a set of critical vulnerabilities addressed in Oracle's October 2012 Critical Patch Update. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication and may impact both client and server deployments, particularly through untrusted Java applets and Web Start applications.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (java_ws_double_quote.rb) that exploits CVE-2012-1533, a double quote injection vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start (JRE <= 1.6.35 and <= 1.7.07) on Windows. The exploit abuses improper sanitization of the initial-heap-size and max-heap-size parameters in JNLP files, allowing injection of JVM options to load a malicious jvm.dll from a remote UNC path. The module acts as an HTTP/WebDAV server, serving crafted responses to trigger the vulnerability when accessed by a vulnerable browser. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution as the browser user. The module is operational, requires specific server and client configurations, and is designed for use within the Metasploit framework. The main attack vector is via browser-based network interaction, and the primary endpoints are the HTTP/WebDAV server and the remote DLL path.
