This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Successful exploitation requires that the target user browse to a malicious web page. The specific flaw exists in the Microsoft WMIScriptUtils.WMIObjectBroker2 ActiveX control which is bundled with Visual Studio 2005. An attacker can utilize this control to bypass Internet zone security restrictions and instantiate other dangerous objects that can be leveraged to result in arbitrary code execution.
