then the attacker can use Windows Update ActiveX to:
reboot your machine;
get detailed information on computer - computer name,
hardware, isAdmin, etc.
BUT it's hard for the attacker to execute his EXE.
i've traced into the module("IUENGINE.TEXT").
they first create the
directory(API:"CreateDirectoryW")
then they download the EXE file to the newly created
directory. soon after that, they verify its digest
(API:"LSTRCMPIW"). at last they verify it with
"WinTrust.TEXT" - which i am unable to bypass. if any
of the check fails, they delete the
file(API:"DeleteFileW").
assuming we already got WINDOWSUPDATE.MICROSOFT.COM(
then we easily got MYCOMPUTER):
the only chance is:
"DeleteFileW" fails.
but chances are very very slim.
so generally speaking(generally speaking, we can't
break WinTrust), the maximum risk is "RebootMachine" -
nothing more.
just as a reminder
best wishes
