  [Details]
  
  Microsoft 'themepack' files are classic '.theme' files compressed for
  sharing over the internet. Theme files
  allows users to customize visual aspects of their device, such as icons
  for known features like 'My computer'
  and 'trash bin' folders, the default screensaver (which by the way
  allowed attackers to run '.scr' files located
  on shares upon applying a Theme, in the past. Refer to: CVE-2013-0810).
  ThemePack file type uses Microsoft 'CAB' format. The parser contains a
  vulnerability that allows attackers
  to create arbitrary files on arbitrary locations on the user´s system,
  by using the classic
  'parent directory' technique, and thus could lead to creation of some
  executable files on the
  startup folder. This executable will be run on next logon.
  
  
  Conditions:
  
  
  1) The 'themepack' file must contain a valid '[dot] theme' file.
  
  
  The parser allows creating '.theme' files on arbitrary locations, but
  the extension must be
  '.theme'. There´s a trick, though, to overcome this:
  
  NTFS Alternate Data Streams.
  
  By using a specially crafted name like "abc.hta:[dot] theme" it´s
  possible to trick the parser into
  dropping a file with an '[dot] hta' extension instead of the legitimate
  '[dot] theme', potentially allowing
  attackers to compromise the affected systems. The '[dot] hta' extension
  is a good choice since you can
  merge valid code with arbitrary text or binary files.
  
  Note: Patched on October, 2018 Microsoft monthly patch.
  
  
  [PoC]
  
  Proof of concept code that drops an 'hta' file to startup dir.
  
  
  Instructions:
  
   - Create a new project on MS Visual Studio (any version, included free
  ones like 'Express'), choose 'Console Application'
  
  and at 'program . cs' replace the code with the code below
  
  Note: Source code targets dot NET 4.0 and up (previous versions might
  work fine though!)
