A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Konica Minolta FTP Utility 1.0, where remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted, overly long CWD command to the FTP server. The vulnerability is due to improper bounds checking when processing the CWD command, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/kmftp_utility_cwd.rb) that exploits a SEH-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2015-7768) in the Konica Minolta FTP Utility 1.00 running on Windows 7 SP1 x86. The exploit targets the FTP 'CWD' command, which fails to properly check input size, allowing an attacker to overwrite the SEH handler and execute arbitrary code. The module leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing the attacker to deliver a customizable payload (such as a reverse shell) up to 1500 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters. The exploit does not require authentication due to the default anonymous access on the target FTP server. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, written in Ruby, and it is fully operational for exploitation purposes.
