Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in the script-fu server component on GIMP <= 2.6.12. By sending a specially crafted packet, an attacker may be able to achieve remote code execution under the context of the user. This module has been tested on GIMP for Windows from installers provided by Jernej Simoncic.

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.
