CVE-2013-2465 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment 2D component affecting Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, Java SE 6 Update 45 and earlier, Java SE 5.0 Update 45 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7. The issue was described as involving incorrect image-channel verification in BufferedImage processing. It may permit a malicious Java applet to escape Java sandbox restrictions; Oracle did not confirm the third-party characterization of the issue as a sandbox-bypass vulnerability.

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.
