CVE-2014-125114 is a stack-based buffer overflow in i-Ftp version 2.20. The flaw is caused by improper handling of the Time attribute in Schedule.xml during scheduled download parsing. If a specially crafted Schedule.xml file is placed in the i-Ftp application directory, the application can copy or process attacker-controlled Time attribute data into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, resulting in memory corruption. Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected process, or may cause the application to crash.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/fileformat/iftp_schedule_bof.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in i-FTP v2.20 (CVE-2014-125114). The exploit works by generating a specially crafted Schedule.xml file with an overly long 'Time' attribute in an 'Event' element. When this file is placed in the i-FTP folder and processed by the application (tested on Windows XP SP3), it triggers a buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the i-FTP process. The module allows the attacker to specify a custom payload, which is injected into the file. The attack vector is local, as it requires the victim to open or process the malicious file. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the Schedule.xml file itself. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
