Siemens Solid Edge ST4 SEListCtrlX ActiveX Remote Code Execution
Description
This module exploits the SEListCtrlX ActiveX installed with the Siemens Solid Edge product. The vulnerability exists on several APIs provided by the control, where user supplied input is handled as a memory pointer without proper validation, allowing an attacker to read and corrupt memory from the target process. This module abuses the methods NumChildren() and DeleteItem() in order to achieve memory info leak and remote code execution respectively. This module has been tested successfully on IE6-IE9 on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1, using Solid Edge 10.4.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
