Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in MicroP 0.1.1.1600. A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when the content of a .mppl file gets copied onto the stack, which overwrites the lpFileName parameter of a CreateFileA() function, and results arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.

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.
