Description

This module exploits a flaw in the WSReset.exe file associated with the Windows
Store. This binary has autoelevate privs, and it will run a binary file
contained in a low-privilege registry location. By placing a link to
the binary in the registry location, WSReset.exe will launch the binary as
a privileged user.
