Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the latest version 3.5 of TugZip archiving utility. In order to trigger the vulnerability, an attacker must convince someone to load a specially crafted zip file with TugZip by double click or file open. By doing so, an attacker can execute arbitrary code as the victim 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.
