ScriptFTP LIST Remote Buffer Overflow

Disclosed

Description

AmmSoft's ScriptFTP client is susceptible to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability that is triggered when processing a sufficiently long filename during a FTP LIST command resulting in overwriting the exception handler. Social engineering of executing a specially crafted ftp file by double click will result in connecting to our malicious server and perform arbitrary code execution which allows the attacker to gain the same rights as the user running ScriptFTP. This vulnerability affects versions 3.3 and earlier.

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.
