This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-4798) in the HP LoadRunner lrFileIOService ActiveX control (version 11.50) on Windows XP. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the attacker's HTTP server. When a vulnerable Internet Explorer (6.0-8.0) browser visits the page, JavaScript is used to write a malicious DLL (LrWeb2MdrvLoader.dll) to disk using the WriteFileString method of the vulnerable ActiveX control. The DLL is then loaded via the lrMdrvService control's Init() method, resulting in arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and provides a customizable payload (DLL) generated by Metasploit. The exploit is only effective on Windows XP due to later Windows versions' virtualization protections. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following standard Metasploit module conventions, and does not contain any extraneous files.
