Summary

AgataSoft Auto PingMaster 1.5 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Trace Route host name field that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering structured exception handling. Attackers can craft a malicious ping.txt file with shellcode and jump instructions that overwrite the SEH handler pointer to achieve code execution when the file contents are pasted into the application.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of the application, potentially leading to privilege escalation and system compromise.

Recommendation

Discontinue use of AgataSoft Auto PingMaster 1.5 and replace it with a more secure solution, or apply patches from the vendor.
