Embedthis Appweb Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Poc

This is a proof of concept for a remote stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Embedthis Appweb. The vulnerability occurs when processing debugging information in the application. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker can overflow the stack and potentially execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability has been identified in the ASM instructions provided.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to the latest version of Embedthis Appweb that includes a patch for this issue. Additionally, it is recommended to disable debugging information in production environments.
