CVE-2013-2465 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment 2D component affecting Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, 6 Update 45 and earlier, 5.0 Update 45 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7. The available supporting content consistently associates the flaw with Java 2D and describes it as an "incorrect image channel verification" issue in buffered image handling. Oracle’s June 2013 CPU described the issue only as allowing remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to 2D, while third-party reporting and exploit analyses characterize it as a Java sandbox bypass that can be used to achieve arbitrary code execution. Observed exploit-kit implementations delivered a malicious JAR or JNLP/applet chain to vulnerable clients and then invoked the flaw to escape the Java security model, request elevated permissions such as java.security.AllPermission, and execute a downloader or native payload on the host.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'java_storeimagearray.rb', which exploits CVE-2013-2465, an invalid array indexing vulnerability in Java's storeImageArray() function. The exploit targets Java 7u21 and earlier on both Windows and Linux platforms. The module sets up a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page containing a Java applet. When a victim visits the page and allows the applet to run, a dynamically generated JAR file is delivered, containing obfuscated Java class files that exploit the vulnerability to achieve memory corruption and escape the Java sandbox. This allows arbitrary code execution via a Metasploit Java payload. The module requires user interaction (click-to-play) and does not bypass Java's security prompts. The repository structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit module, with the Ruby file orchestrating the delivery of the exploit and payload. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the Java class files loaded from the Metasploit data directory. The exploit is operational and can be used to deliver customizable payloads to vulnerable clients.
