CVE-2010-20120

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2010-20120. PoCs published by Metasploit, scriptjunkie, including Metasploit module exploits/multi/fileformat/maple_maplet.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in Maple software (up to version 13) by crafting a malicious .maplet file that executes arbitrary commands when opened. It generates a payload executable, embeds it in the file, and triggers execution via Maple's scripting capabilities.

Maple versions up to and including 13's Maplet framework allows embedded commands to be executed automatically when a .maplet file is opened. This behavior bypasses standard security restrictions that normally prevent code execution in regular Maple worksheets. The vulnerability enables attackers to craft malicious .maplet files that execute arbitrary code without user interaction.
