A type confusion vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player (prior to 11.7.700.257, 11.8.x, and 11.9.x prior to 11.9.900.170 on Windows and Mac OS X, and prior to 11.2.202.332 on Linux) and Adobe AIR (prior to 3.9.0.1380, including SDK and Compiler). The vulnerability is triggered by crafted .swf content that causes a type confusion, leading to memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability was exploited in the wild in December 2013.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a type confusion vulnerability (CVE-2013-5331) in the ActiveX component of Adobe Flash Player. The exploit is weaponized and leverages the Metasploit framework's BrowserExploitServer to serve a malicious HTML page and SWF file to victims. The module is designed to exploit users running Internet Explorer 6-10 on Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7 SP1 with vulnerable versions of Adobe Flash Player (11.7, 11.8, or 11.9 prior to 11.9.900.170). The attack vector is browser-based: the victim must visit a web page controlled by the attacker. The exploit delivers a customizable Metasploit payload (such as a reverse shell) via a crafted SWF file. The module references the Flash ActiveX CLSID and uses the official Macromedia codebase URL for the object instantiation. The structure is typical for a Metasploit browser exploit, with methods for serving the SWF, generating the malicious HTML, and handling incoming requests. The repository is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework.
