Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer Sandbox which allows to
escape the Enhanced Protected Mode and execute code with Medium Integrity. The
vulnerability exists in the IESetProtectedModeRegKeyOnly function from the ieframe.dll
component, which can be abused to force medium integrity IE to user influenced keys.
By using registry symlinks it's possible force IE to add a policy entry in the registry
and finally bypass Enhanced Protected Mode.
