version VX Search Enterprise 10.0.14↗

version VX Search Enterprise v9.5.12↗

• → Detect oversized HTTP GET request paths sent to the VX Search Enterprise built-in web server; the vulnerability is triggered by improper bounds checking of the request path in GET requests. ↗
• → Monitor for crafted HTTP GET requests targeting the VX Search Enterprise web server service that may indicate exploitation attempts of the stack-based buffer overflow. ↗

• · The Metasploit module was tested specifically on Windows 7 SP1 x86; exploit reliability on other Windows versions or architectures is not confirmed. ↗
• · Two different vulnerable versions are referenced across sources (10.0.14 per NVD, v9.5.12 per Metasploit module); detection and patching should account for both version ranges. ↗
