Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Microsoft Office's ClickOnce
feature. When handling a Macro document, the application fails to recognize
certain file extensions as dangerous executables, which can be used to bypass
the warning message. This can allow attackers to trick victims into opening the
malicious document, which will load up either a python or ruby payload, and
finally, download and execute an executable.
