I'll call you on that.  Set it up, send it out, and show us how many people IRL you can actually get this to be 
exploited on.   Your assumptions that the "majority" will fall because of "inherent casualness" has no basis 
whatsoever, and it just more blah-blah-windows-blah-blah crap from the Windows 95 days.

Seriously.  Put your money where your mouth is.

Hi,
Nice revelations here. what we need to understand here is that the majority of Windows users there *will* fall for the 
remote exploit because of their inherent casualness(some actually think that 7 is the nicest OS ever made). I 
appreciate the efforts taken in finding these exploits, especially on such a closed, undocumented system. Additionally 
, thanks for those amusing tricks with special folders.

keep up the good job.

regards,

yati

Thor, the "Online Proof of Concept" section of the blog post points you to a *remote*
exploit (without any warning) but let me repeat the link here:

http://www.binaryplanting.com/demo/XP_2-click/test.html

Visit this with IE8 on 32-bit Windows XP.

Please find further information here:

http://blog.acrossecurity.com/2011/05/anatomy-of-com-server-based-binary.html
http://blog.acrossecurity.com/2011/05/silently-pwning-protected-mode-ie9-and.html

In general there are two types of remote binary planting exploits: SMB and WebDAV.
The former works inside (local) networks where firewalls block outbound SMB traffic.
WebDAV attacks work through firewalls too since many firewalls allow outbound WebDAV
traffic and Windows silently fall back to WebDAV if SMB doesn't work. If our online
remote exploit doesn't work for you, you can download the PoC locally and test it in
your local network.

I'll be happy to explain it to you further if need be.

Thanks,
Mitja

But it *is* worth mentioning that you have to create the
malicious dll file, copy it to the system, create folders
etc, and all the other mumbo jumbo to "exploit" this in the
"default configuration."   So, the answer to Dan's question
is actually, "no, you can't."  Which brings into question the
actual "worth" of mentioning this in the first place. :)

It would hardly be worth mentioning otherwise.

Does this run code without prompting, on a reasonably default
configuration?

Feel free to try it out online if WebDAV works through your

or download it and test it in your local network or simply
on your computer.
