SMB: Windows WebView Word Doc Script Injection
This signature detects Word files with malicious metadata. An attacker could create a Word document with improper characters in the document metadata. If a user selects the file from a directory over SMB, it can allow the attacker to run scripts on the target computer. The file does not need to be opened for the script to run.
Extended Description
Exploiting this vulnerability enables the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
