File Sharing Wizard 1.5.0 contains a vulnerability where a remote attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by exploiting a buffer overflow in the handling of HTTP POST parameters. The overflow occurs due to improper bounds checking, allowing the attacker to overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and redirect execution flow. This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2010-2330 and CVE-2010-2331, which also involve SEH-based buffer overflows.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/file_sharing_wizard_seh.rb) that exploits a SEH-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2019-16724) in File Sharing Wizard version 1.5.0 running on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (x86). The exploit is unauthenticated and targets the HTTP service (default port 80) by sending a specially crafted POST request that overflows a buffer and overwrites the SEH handler, allowing arbitrary code execution. The default payload is a Meterpreter reverse shell, but this can be customized within Metasploit. The module includes a check method that attempts to detect the vulnerable service by looking for a 'WWW-Authenticate' header with the realm 'File Sharing Wizard'. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit: it includes metadata, target definitions, a check method, and the exploit logic. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the target is specified by the user at runtime.
