Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2013-0758 is a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, Firefox ESR, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. The vulnerability arises from improper interaction between plugin objects and SVG elements, specifically due to inconsistent base URI resolution between nsPluginHost::DoURLLoadSecurityCheck and nsPluginInstanceOwner::GetURL. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging plugin instances cloned into anonymous content of SVG 'use' elements, enabling the loading of arbitrary chrome-privileged pages and escalation of privileges. The vulnerability was demonstrated to allow remote code execution, such as launching calc.exe on Windows, and was exploitable via drive-by downloads.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (firefox_svg_plugin.rb) that exploits two vulnerabilities (CVE-2013-0758 and CVE-2013-0757) in Mozilla Firefox 17.0 and 17.0.1. The exploit targets users with the Flash plugin installed and leverages a combination of SVG and Flash to gain code execution in the browser's privileged chrome context. The module serves a malicious HTML page and a specially crafted SWF file to the victim. Upon successful exploitation, it writes and executes a payload on the victim's system, providing remote code execution. The module is operational and allows for custom payloads via the Metasploit framework. The main attack vector is through the browser, requiring user interaction (visiting a malicious page). The code references fingerprintable endpoints such as the 'chrome://browser/content/' URL and the 'cve-2013-0758.swf' file used in the attack chain. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, written in Ruby, and includes embedded JavaScript and HTML for the browser-based attack.
