What is CVE-2010-20112?

Amlib's NetOpacs webquery.dll is susceptible to a stack-based buffer overflow due to improper management of HTTP GET parameters. This flaw allows attackers to exploit the application by sending disproportionately large input to the app parameter, which can overwrite critical memory structures such as the Structured Exception Handler (SEH). Additionally, the vulnerability may be triggered by malformed parameter names followed by an equals sign, potentially redirecting control flow in unintended ways. This issue is prominent in legacy Windows environments and is accessible via IIS, posing significant risks to web applications utilizing this component.

Affected Version(s)

Amlibweb Library Management System *

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
