Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Cisco Linksys PlayerPT 1.0.0.15 as the installed with the web interface of Cisco Linksys WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera. The vulnerability, due to the insecure usage of sprintf in the SetSource method, when handling a specially crafted sURL argument, allows to trigger a stack based buffer overflow which leads to code execution under the context of the user visiting a malicious web page.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
