Remote Code Execution


[CVE Reference]
CVE-2019-9491


[Security Issue]
Trend Micro Anti-Threat Toolkit (ATTK) will load and execute arbitrary .EXE files if a malware author
happens to use the vulnerable naming convention of "cmd.exe" or "regedit.exe" and the malware can be
placed in the vacinity of the ATTK when a scan is launched by the end user.

Since the ATTK is signed by verified publisher and therefore assumed trusted any MOTW security warnings
are bypassed if the malware was internet downloaded, also it can become a persistence mechanism as
each time the Anti-Threat Toolkit is run so can an attackers malware.

Standalone affected components of ATTK and other integrations (e.g. WCRY Patch Tool, OfficeScan Toolbox, etc.)
