Description

This module exploits an untrusted program execution vulnerability within the Winds3D Player from AwingSoft. The Winds3D Player is a browser plugin for IE (ActiveX), Opera (DLL) and Firefox (XPI). By setting the 'SceneURL' parameter to the URL to an executable, an attacker can execute arbitrary code. Testing was conducted using plugin version 3.5.0.9 for Firefox 3.5 and IE 8 on Windows XP SP3.

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.
