Nidesoft DVD Ripper 5.2.18 – Local Buffer Overflow (SEH)
This exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Nidesoft DVD Ripper version 5.2.18. By running a specially crafted Python script, an attacker can create a file that, when pasted into the 'License Code' parameter within the registration process, triggers a buffer overflow. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, potentially allowing an attacker to gain unauthorized access or control of the affected system.
Mitigation:
The vendor should release a patch or update to fix the buffer overflow vulnerability. In the meantime, users are advised to avoid using the affected software or to apply any available mitigations recommended by the vendor.
