Description

This module exploits an untrusted program execution vulnerability within the
Winds3D Player from AwingSoft. The Winds3D Player is a browser plugin for
IE (ActiveX), Opera (DLL) and Firefox (XPI). By setting the 'SceneURL'
parameter to the URL to an executable, an attacker can execute arbitrary
code.

Testing was conducted using plugin version 3.5.0.9 for Firefox 3.5 and
IE 8 on Windows XP SP3.
