Since this screen saver is not integrated with Windows NT's security, it opens a big security hole that allows anyone with physical access to the machine unlimited access without knowing the screensaver password.   Credit: The economist's web site: http://www.economist.com/ Free Website Security Scan Free Fuzzer Report Vulnerability Assessment Detect web app vulnerabilities University study comparing the top Accurate and automated scanning Get guidance from professionals. 6 commercially availble fuzzers. for networks of any size.    Details Protect your website! Free Trial, Nothing to install. No interruption of visitors. www.beyondsecurity.com/vulnerability-scanner When the Economist screen saver is active, it is possible to launch Internet Explorer (Running under SYSTEM security context). From this point it is trivial to browse the network and open files, excel spreadsheets, word documents, or anything else on the local computer and network neighborhood. After all this, the status of the screen saver remains unchanged - making it almost impossible to know whether someone accessed your computer while you weren't at you desk. This has been verified on NT Workstation 4.0 SP5 with IE5, but probably affects all Windows versions.  Comments: blog comments powered by Disqus	All Sections Security News Unix focus Exploits Tools Windows focus Security Reviews  Related Articles Microsoft IE RemoveChild Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Visio Viewer Tree Object Type Confusion Visio File Handling Arbitrary Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Windows Modern Mail Spoofing Weakness Vulnerability Microsoft SharePoint Callback Function URL Handling Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft IE CCaret Use-after-free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Windows 8 TrueType Font (TTF) Handling DoS Vulnerability Microsoft IE OnResize Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Windows USB Driver Memory Object Handling Local Privilege (2013-1287) Vulnerability Microsoft IE SaveHistory Onload Event Handling Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft IE CMarkupBehaviorContext Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft SharePoint XSS Vulnerability Microsoft IE OnBeforeCopy Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Windows USB Driver Memory Object Handling Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft OneNote Buffer Size Validation ONE File Handling Information Disclosure Vulnerability Microsoft IE GetMarkupPtr execCommand Print Event Handling Use-after-free Execution Vulnerability Microsoft SharePoint Remote Overflow DoS Vulnerability Microsoft IE CTreeNode Use-After-Free Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Windows USB Driver Memory Object Handling Local Privilege (2013-1286) Vulnerability Microsoft IE CTreeNode Use-After-Free Use-After-Free Arbitrary Execution Vulnerability Microsoft IE Proxy Server TCP Session Re-Use Cross-User Information Disclosure Weakness Vulnerability  Featured Articles Microsoft SharePoint Callback Function URL Handling Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft Windows USB Driver Memory Object Handling Local Privilege (2013-1287) Vulnerability Microsoft Windows USB Driver Memory Object Handling Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft Windows Kernel Memory Object Handling Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft Windows SSL/TSL Forced Downgrade MitM Weakness Microsoft Windows Memory Object Handling Local Memory Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Microsoft .NET Framework Serialization Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Visio Viewer VSD File Format Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft .NET Framework Input Serialization CVE-2012-0160 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft .NET Framework ASP.NET Forms Authentication Bypass Vulnerability 'TrendMicro Control Manager CASProcessor.exe BLOB Code Execution Vulnerability' 'HP iNode Management Center iNodeMngChecker.exe Code Execution Vulnerability' 'HP Data Protector Backup Client Service EXEC_SCRIPT Code Execution Vulnerability' 'Microsoft Internet Explorer Property Change Memory Corruption Vulnerability' 'Microsoft Office PowerPoint PersistDirectoryEntry Code Execution Vulnerability' 'CA Total Defense Suite Heartbeat Web Service Code Execution Vulnerability' 'HP Web Jetadmin Unauthorized Access to Managed Resources Vulnerability' 'Novell Zenworks Handheld Management ZfHIPCnd.exe Opcode 2 Code Execution Vulnerability' 'Microsoft Windows Shell Graphics biCompression Buffer Overflow Vulnerability'
