Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Poster Software PUBLISH-iT version 3.6d. The vulnerability can be triggered by a remote attacker supplying a specially crafted PUI file, which causes a buffer overflow condition in the application. This may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/fileformat/publishit_pui.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2014-0980) in Publish-It 3.6d for Windows. The exploit works by generating a specially crafted .PUI file that, when opened by a victim in the vulnerable application, triggers a buffer overflow via SEH overwrite, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module allows the attacker to specify a payload, which is encoded and embedded into the malicious file. The exploit is operational and requires user interaction (the victim must open the file). The only fingerprintable endpoints are the malicious .PUI file generated (default name 'msf.pui') and the template file used ('CVE-2014-0980.pui'). The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit file format exploit module.
