| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Windows NT and Windows 2000
Description
The issue arises from the registry entry for the Windows Shell executable (Explorer.exe) using a relative path name. This allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by inserting a Trojan Horse named Explorer.exe into the %Systemdrive% directory.
Recommendations
For Windows NT and Windows 2000, consider using an absolute path name for the Windows Shell executable registry entry to prevent exploitation.
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the %Systemdrive% directory to minimize the risk of a Trojan Horse being inserted.
Avoid executing commands from untrusted sources until the issue is resolved.
