CVE-2017-13708 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the web server service of VX Search Enterprise 10.0.14. The issue can be triggered remotely by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to the affected service. Due to improper bounds checking while processing attacker-controlled request data, a remote attacker can overflow a buffer and potentially gain control of program execution, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the vulnerable service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/vxsrchs_bof.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2017-13708) in the web interface of VX Search Enterprise v9.5.12. The exploit targets the HTTP GET request handler of the built-in web server, overflowing the request path buffer to achieve arbitrary code execution. The module uses an egghunter to locate the payload in memory and supports customizable Metasploit payloads up to 500 bytes, avoiding specific bad characters. The exploit has been tested on Windows 7 SP1 x86. The module includes a version check routine and delivers the exploit via a crafted HTTP GET request. The only endpoints involved are the root path (for version checking) and the vulnerable path (for exploitation). The code is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions.
