Description
Photodex ProShow Producer version 5.0.3256 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of plugin load list files. When a specially crafted load file is placed in the installation directory, the application fails to properly validate its contents, leading to a buffer overflow when the file is parsed during startup. Exploitation requires local access to place the file and user interaction to launch the application.

An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. The public collections list a Metasploit module for it. 4 references of the record are tagged as an exploit. CISA's SSVC rates its exploitation: a proof of concept is public.
