Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Windows Script Host. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted DLL file in a directory or on a remote share (e.g., WebDAV, SMB share). When the target application (wscript.exe) is loaded by the target user, the application may load the remote user's DLL instead of the intended DLL and execute arbitrary code. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
This type of exploit is also known as "binary planting" or "DLL preloading".
