| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS14-027, 2962488) for 'Vulnerability in Windows Shell Handler Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker runs a specially crafted application that uses ShellExecute. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.
- Windows Shell File Association Vulnerability (CVE-2014-1807)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Shell improperly handles file associations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the Local System account. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
