ICONICS WebHMI ActiveX Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in ICONICS WebHMI's ActiveX control. By supplying a long string of data to the 'SetActiveXGUID' parameter, GenVersion.dll fails to do any proper bounds checking before this input is copied onto the stack, which causes a buffer overflow, and results arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
