This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2017-11826, a Microsoft Word vulnerability. The main file, gen_word.py, is a Python script that generates a malicious Word document (demo.docx). The script takes a URL as an argument, which is embedded into a DDEAUTO field in the document. When a victim opens the document in a vulnerable version of Microsoft Word on Windows, the DDEAUTO field triggers the execution of a PowerShell command that downloads a file from the specified URL and executes it. The repository contains only two files: a README.md with a brief description and a reference article, and the exploit generator script. No hardcoded network endpoints are present; the URL is supplied by the user at runtime. The exploit demonstrates the attack vector but does not include a weaponized or customizable payload beyond the download-and-execute mechanism.
