Description Simple Startup Manager version 1.17 contains a local buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

An attacker can craft a malicious payload of 268 bytes to trigger code execution, bypassing Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and overwriting memory addresses. In a reported instance, attackers launched calc.exe. The 'File' input parameter is a component used to process file-related operations within the application.
