Characteristics

This is a detection for an exploit for a vulnerability in Microsoft Works. The ActiveX object WkImgSrv.dll contains a function that can be overflowed by an out of range value, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

The potential exposure for the exploit is low, because Microsoft Works needs to already be installed, and the control is not marked Safe For Scripting by default.

Symptoms

If the exploit is successful, arbitrary code could be executed, which could perform any action the user has the permissions to perform.

Method of Infection
