Attack Background

A remote code execution vulnerability (RCE) exists in Windows when the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) is called by a Microsoft Office application, such as Microsoft Word, through the MSDT URL protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker tricks the victim into downloading a malicious .docx or .rtf document through techniques such as phishing or social engineering. When the victim opens or previews the document, the Office application automatically sends an HTTP GET request for an HTML file. This HTML file contains a script tag with a malicious command that runs a payload through the MSDT URL protocol on the victim device.
