CVE-2017-11774 is a security-feature bypass in Microsoft Outlook 2010 SP2, Outlook 2013 SP1 and RT SP1, and Outlook 2016. Outlook's legacy per-folder Home Page feature renders a configured remote page in an Internet Explorer frame. Although Internet Explorer zone restrictions prevent direct creation of dangerous COM objects from that context, an attacker-controlled Home Page can access an Outlook Application object and invoke its CreateObject method to instantiate Wscript.Shell, bypassing those restrictions and executing arbitrary commands. The Home Page setting can be remotely modified through Exchange/MAPI by an actor with compromised mailbox credentials, causing execution when the Outlook client synchronizes and renders or refreshes the affected folder.
