Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in mediaserver.exe in ALLMediaServer 1.6. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends a long string to TCP port 888, causing a buffer overflow on the stack. This is related to a previously reported issue, CVE-2017-17932.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow (SEH overwrite) vulnerability in ALLMediaServer 1.6 (CVE-2022-28381). The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's TCP and SEH exploitation mixins. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a specially crafted TCP payload to the ALLMediaServer service, typically running on port 888. The exploit is only effective against x86 or WoW64 Windows targets (not x64). The module allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system, with the payload being customizable via Metasploit (e.g., reverse shell, Meterpreter). The repository structure is standard for Metasploit modules, with the exploit logic contained in a single Ruby file. No hardcoded IP addresses or URLs are present, but the default port (888) is fingerprintable. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems.
