Microsoft OneNote Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
RISK: Medium Risk
TYPE: Clients - Productivity Products
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft OneNote parses specially crafted files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
