This module exploits a buffer overflow in FTPGetter Standard v3.55.0.05 ftp client. When processing the response on a PWD command, a stack based buffer overflow occurs. This leads to arbitrary code execution when a structured exception handler gets overwritten.

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/ftp/ftpgetter_pwd_reply
msf exploit(ftpgetter_pwd_reply) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ftpgetter_pwd_reply) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ftpgetter_pwd_reply) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ftpgetter_pwd_reply) > 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.
