Visual Ping 0.8.0.0 – ‘Host’ Denial of Service (PoC)
Visual Ping 0.8.0.0 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when the user inputs a specially crafted string into the 'Host, Time Out,packet size, Pause, Loops' fields. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by executing the Visual_Ping.py code, copying the contents of VisualPing.txt to the clipboard, executing VPing.exe, and then copying the clipboard contents into the 'Host, Time Out,packet size, Pause, Loops' fields. When the 'Start' button is clicked, the application will crash.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Visual Ping 0.8.0.0.
