| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS07-061, KB943460) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Windows URI' has not been applied. Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused due to an input validation error within the Windows shell (shell32.dll) when handling specially-crafted URIs with registered URI handlers (e.g. "mailto", "news", "nntp", "snews", "telnet", and "http"). By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted URI containing a "%" character and ending with a certain extension (e.g. ".bat" or ".cmd"), a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands on the system.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
