Speaking at a conference today, a security researcher has revealed a new exploit impacting the Windows IoT Core operating system that gives threat actors full control over vulnerable devices.

The vulnerability, discovered by Dor Azouri, a security researcher for SafeBreach, impacts the Sirep/WPCon communications protocol included with Windows IoT operating system.
The vulnerability does not impact Windows IoT Enterprise, the more advanced version of the Windows IoT operating system,

"This exploit works on cable-connected Windows IoT Core devices, running Microsoft's official stock image," Azouri said in a research paper shared with ZDNet.
During his tests, Azouri built such a tool, a remote access trojan (RAT) that he named SirepRAT, which he plans to open-source on GitHub.
