CVE-2025-34128 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the X360 VideoPlayer ActiveX control, VideoPlayer.ocx, version 2.6. The flaw is triggered when the control processes overly long arguments supplied to the ConvertFile() method. Improper handling of the input length can corrupt memory, creating a condition in which attacker-controlled data may influence execution flow. In practical terms, a crafted call into the vulnerable ActiveX method can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the process hosting the control.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-34128) in the X360 VideoPlayer ActiveX control (VideoPlayer.ocx) on Windows. The exploit is delivered via a malicious web server, which serves a crafted HTML page and several JavaScript files (exploit.js, sprayer.js, informer.js, rop_builder.js) to the victim's Internet Explorer 10 browser. The vulnerability is triggered by passing an overly long value to the 'ConvertFile()' method of the ActiveX control, allowing the attacker to bypass ASLR/DEP and execute arbitrary code. The module is fully integrated into Metasploit, allowing for customizable payloads (such as Meterpreter) and automated exploitation. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring the victim to visit a malicious page. The module references several endpoints for delivering exploit components and targets systems with the vulnerable ActiveX control installed. The structure is typical for a Metasploit browser exploit, with clear separation of payload delivery and exploit logic.
