CVE-2007-4915

This exploit bypasses HTTP Basic Authentication in Boa/0.93.15 by sending an excessively long username, allowing an attacker to set a new password without proper authentication. The PoC uses Python's urllib2 to send a crafted request.

This exploit leverages an authentication bypass vulnerability in Boa web server by overwriting the password via a crafted HTTP request. It uses a long username to trigger the vulnerability and sets a new password to gain unauthorized access.

This Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow in Boa HTTP Server (0.93.x - 0.94.11) to bypass basic authentication by sending a long username (127+ bytes) that overwrites the password in memory, allowing password reset or DoS.
