CVE-2017-11774 is a security feature bypass in Microsoft Outlook 2010 SP2, Outlook 2013 SP1 and RT SP1, and Outlook 2016 that can be leveraged for arbitrary command execution. The issue stems from Outlook's legacy per-folder Home Page/WebView feature, which renders attacker-supplied content in an Internet Explorer frame and exposes Outlook application objects to that context. Although Internet Explorer zone restrictions block direct creation of dangerous COM objects from script, the exposed OutlookApplication object can be abused to invoke CreateObject and instantiate components such as WScript.Shell, bypassing the intended sandbox restrictions. In practical exploitation, an attacker with the ability to modify mailbox folder properties can set a malicious Home Page URL so that when Outlook synchronizes and renders the folder view, script executes in the Outlook process and launches attacker-controlled commands.
