CVE-2011-3497 is a remote command execution vulnerability in Measuresoft ScadaPro 4.0.0 and earlier. The vulnerability exists in service.exe, where the XF function exposes an insecure method that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary DLL functions by sending specially crafted messages to the service, typically over UDP port 11234. This is due to insufficient access control on exposed methods.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting Measuresoft ScadaPro (version 4.0.0 and earlier) for Windows. The exploit abuses a directory traversal vulnerability in the SCADA service's 'xf' command, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via system() in msvcrt.dll. The module works by generating a VBS stager script that downloads an attacker-hosted executable payload (such as Meterpreter) to the target's C:/Windows/Temp directory and executes it. The exploit communicates with the SCADA service over TCP port 11234. The code is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities, enabling full compromise of the target system. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and all exploit logic is contained within this file.
