This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/ezserver_http.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in EZHomeTech EZServer versions 6.4.017 and earlier (CVE-2024-23985). The exploit targets the service running on TCP port 8000 (default) on Windows XP. It uses the egghunter technique to deliver and execute arbitrary shellcode, bypassing buffer size constraints. The module is operational and allows the attacker to execute code of their choice on the target system. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, including references, target definitions, and payload handling. No hardcoded IP addresses, URLs, or file paths are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 8000. The exploit is not a detection script or a fake, and is suitable for use in penetration testing or red teaming engagements.
