Description

This module exploits an unquoted parameter call within the Teamviewer
URI handler to create an SMB connection to an attacker controlled IP.
TeamViewer
12.0.258869, 13.2.36220, 14.2.56676, 14.7.48350, and 15.8.3 are
vulnerable.
Only Firefox can be exploited by this vulnerability, as all other
browsers encode the space after 'play' and before the SMB location,
preventing successful exploitation.
Teamviewer 15.4.4445, and 8.0.16642 were succssfully tested against.
