This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting CVE-2013-3184, a use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) on Windows 7. The exploit leverages a memory corruption bug in the CFlatMarkupPointer object, triggered via a crafted HTML page with specific JavaScript and meta tags. The module serves a malicious web page to the victim, exploiting the vulnerability when the page is loaded in a vulnerable browser. The exploit uses heap spraying and ROP techniques to execute arbitrary code, typically resulting in a reverse shell or Meterpreter session. The module is operational and allows for customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server that delivers the exploit page. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
