CEServer.exe in the CEServer component of the Remote Agent module in InduSoft Web Studio versions 6.1 and 7.0 does not require authentication for remote access. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging functionality related to file creation, DLL loading, and process control, without any authentication barrier.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting InduSoft Web Studio Remote Agent for Windows (pre-Vista, specifically tested on 6.1 SP6 on XP/2003). The exploit leverages a lack of authentication on the agent's TCP service (default port 4322) to upload arbitrary files to the target system. It uploads a custom EXE payload to the system32 directory and a MOF file to the wbem\mof directory, which triggers Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to execute the payload as SYSTEM. The module is operational, allowing remote code execution with full privileges, and is suitable for use with custom Metasploit payloads. The code is well-structured, with clear separation of version checking, file upload, and exploitation logic. No detection or fake code is present; this is a real, weaponizable exploit.
