CVE-2014-6332 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows OLE Automation implementation in OleAut32.dll. The flaw is triggered by improper handling of array size values during SAFEARRAY resizing operations, specifically in logic associated with SafeArrayRedim and the SafeArrayDimen function. A crafted web page can induce an array-redimensioning condition that causes incorrect processing of a size value, leading to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution. The issue affects multiple Windows client and server versions, and exploitation was commonly observed through Internet Explorer using VBScript-based exploit chains.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'ms14_064_ole_code_execution.rb', which exploits CVE-2014-6332, a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 3.0 to 11) via a flaw in Windows OLE Automation arrays. The exploit targets Windows XP and Windows 7 systems, using VBScript for XP and Powershell for 7. The module sets up an HTTP server that serves a malicious HTML page with embedded VBScript. For Windows XP, the script downloads a VBS payload (disguised as a .gif file) and executes it via wscript.exe. For Windows 7, it attempts to execute a Powershell command to run the payload. The payload is customizable and can be any Metasploit-supported Windows payload (e.g., reverse shell, meterpreter). The main attack vector is browser-based: the victim must visit the attacker's web server with a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer. The module is weaponized, allowing for easy payload customization and automated exploitation. The code is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of exploit logic, payload delivery, and target selection.
