CVE-2018-9059 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Easy File Sharing (EFS) Web Server 7.2. The flaw is triggered by a malicious login request sent to the forum.ghp endpoint, where insufficient bounds checking on attacker-controlled input allows data to overflow a stack buffer. Successful exploitation can corrupt stack memory and redirect control flow, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the vulnerable EFS Web Server process. The available description notes that this issue may overlap with CVE-2014-3791.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overflow vulnerability in Easy File Sharing HTTP Server version 7.2 (CVE-2018-9059). The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's TCP and SEH exploitation capabilities. The module constructs a specially crafted HTTP GET request to overflow the SEH handler, allowing execution of arbitrary code (Metasploit payloads up to 390 bytes, with specific bad characters filtered). The exploit targets TCP port 80 on the victim system. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in one file. Its purpose is to provide remote code execution against vulnerable Easy File Sharing HTTP Server 7.2 installations on Windows.
