Hacking Windows CE - This paper shows a buffer overflow exploitation example in Windows CE. It covers knowledge about the ARM architecture, memory management and the features of processes and threads of Windows CE. It also shows how to write a shellcode in Windows CE including knowledge about decoding shellcode of Windows CE.

Symantec Vulnerability Research SYMSA-2007-012 - Microsoft Windows CE suffers from a IGMP related denial of service vulnerability.

Secunia Security Advisory - Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows CE, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Windows Mobile version 6.5 TR (WinCE 5.2) MessageBox shellcode for ARM.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of the TextBytesAtom records by Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer. According to Microsoft, the PowerPoint Viewer distributed with Office 2003 SP3 and earlier, as well as Office 2004 for Mac, are vulnerable. NOTE: The vulnerable code path is not reachable on versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista.

Microsoft Windows Vista / Server 2008 suffer from a NtUserCheckAccessForIntegrityLevel use-after-free vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Vista/7 suffers from a DLL hijacking vulnerability in lpksetup.exe.

Microsoft Windows Vista / 7 privilege escalation exploit that has UAC bypass.

The VUPEN Vulnerability Research Team discovered a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability is caused by a stack overflow error in the OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) driver "ATMFD.dll" when processing certain operands within an OpenType font, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista systems via a malicious font, or by local attackers to gain elevated privileges on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems via a malicious application.

Microsoft Windows Vista/Server 2008 nsiproxy.sys local kernel denial of service exploit.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow on DVD X Player 5.5 Pro and Standard. By supplying a long string of data in a plf file (playlist), the MediaPlayerCtrl.dll component will attempt to extract a filename out of the string, and then copy it on the stack without any proper bounds checking, which causes a buffer overflow, and results arbitrary code execution under the context of the user. This Metasploit module has been designed to target common Windows systems such as: Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

This Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow in ACDSee FotoSlate 4.0 Build 146 via a specially crafted id parameter in a String element. When viewing a malicious PLP file with the ACDSee FotoSlate product, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code. This exploit has been tested on systems such as Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in CCMPlayer 1.5. Opening a m3u playlist with a long track name, a SEH exception record can be overwritten with parts of the controllable buffer. SEH execution is triggered after an invalid read of an injectable address, thus allowing arbitrary code execution. This Metasploit module works on multiple Windows platforms including: Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

This Metasploit module exploits an uninitialized variable vulnerability in the Annotation Objects ActiveX component. The activeX component loads into memory without opting into ALSR so this module exploits the vulnerability against windows Vista and Windows 7 targets. A large heap spray is required to fulfill the requirement that EAX points to part of the ROP chain in a heap chunk and the calculated call will hit the pivot in a separate heap chunk. This will take some time in the users browser.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-081 - Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox. Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security researcher Aki Helin from OUSPG found that IDBKeyRange of indexedDB remains in the XPConnect hashtable instead of being unlinked before being destroyed. Security research firm iDefense reported that researcher wushi of team509 discovered a memory corruption on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems with hardware acceleration disabled or using incompatible video drivers. Various other issues have also been addressed.

The vulnerability described in this document can be exploited by a malicious Web page to execute arbitrary code with low integrity. Active scripting must be enabled, and the present exploitation techniques require that font downloading be set to "Enable" or "Prompt" and that the "mailto:" protocol be present. (These requirements are satisfied by default on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.) The user is presented with a message box which must be dismissed before code execution can occur.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in NTR ActiveX 1.1.8. The vulnerability exists in the Check() method, due to the insecure usage of strcat to build a URL using the bstrParams parameter contents, which leads to code execution under the context of the user visiting a malicious web page. In order to bypass DEP and ASLR on Windows Vista and Windows 7 JRE 6 is needed.

Swaparoo - Windows backdoor method for Windows Vista/7/8. This code sneaks a backdoor command shell in place of Sticky Keys prompt or Utilman assistant at login screen.

The Windows kernel does not properly isolate broadcast messages from low integrity applications from medium or high integrity applications. This allows commands to be broadcasted to an open medium or high integrity command prompts allowing escalation of privileges. We can spawn a medium integrity command prompt, after spawning a low integrity command prompt, by using the Win+Shift+# combination to specify the position of the command prompt on the taskbar. We can then broadcast our command and hope that the user is away and doesn't corrupt it by interacting with the UI. Broadcast issue affects versions Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, RT. But Spawning a command prompt with the shortcut key does not work in Vista so you will have to check if the user is already running a command prompt and set SPAWN_PROMPT false. The WEB technique will execute a powershell encoded payload from a Web location. The FILE technique will drop an executable to the file system, set it to medium integrity and execute it. The TYPE technique will attempt to execute a powershell encoded payload directly from the command line but it may take some time to complete.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability on the lrFileIOService ActiveX, as installed with HP LoadRunner 11.50. The vulnerability exists in the WriteFileString method, which allow the user to write arbitrary files. It's abused to drop a payload embedded in a dll, which is later loaded through the Init() method from the lrMdrvService control, by abusing an insecure LoadLibrary call. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on IE8 on Windows XP. Virtualization based on the Low Integrity Process, on Windows Vista and 7, will stop this module because the DLL will be dropped to a virtualized folder, which isn't used by LoadLibrary.

This Metasploit module exploits a remote arbitrary file write vulnerability in SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 2014 SP2 and prior. For targets running Windows Vista or newer the payload is written to the startup folder for all users and executed upon next user logon. For targets before Windows Vista code execution can be achieved by first uploading the payload as an exe file, and then upload another mof file, which schedules WMI to execute the uploaded payload. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 2011 SP0 on Windows XP SP3 (EN) and Windows 7 SP1 (EN).

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) allowing arbitrary code execution, publicly known as "Sandworm". Platforms such as Windows Vista SP2 all the way to Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 and 2012 are known to be vulnerable.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) allowing arbitrary code execution, publicly exploited in the wild as MS14-060 patch bypass. The Microsoft update tried to fix the vulnerability publicly known as "Sandworm". Platforms such as Windows Vista SP2 all the way to Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 and 2012 are known to be vulnerable. However, based on our testing, the most reliable setup is on Windows platforms running Office 2013 and Office 2010 SP2. And please keep in mind that some other setups such as using Office 2010 SP1 might be less stable, and sometimes may end up with a crash due to a failure in the CPackage::CreateTempFileName function.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) allowing arbitrary code execution, bypassing the patch MS14-060, for the vulnerability publicly known as "Sandworm", on systems with Python for Windows installed. Windows Vista SP2 all the way to Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 and 2012 are known to be vulnerable. However, based on our testing, the most reliable setup is on Windows platforms running Office 2013 and Office 2010 SP2. Please keep in mind that some other setups such as those using Office 2010 SP1 may be less stable, and may end up with a crash due to a failure in the CPackage::CreateTempFileName function.

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the NPS Datastore server DLL that ships with Windows Vista. This issue can be exploited by loading the affected DLL as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL iasdatastore2.dll from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.
