This module exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer Sandbox which allows to escape the Enhanced Protected Mode and execute code with Medium Integrity. The vulnerability exists in the IESetProtectedModeRegKeyOnly function from the ieframe.dll component, which can be abused to force medium integrity IE to user influenced keys. By using registry symlinks it’s possible force IE to add a policy entry in the registry and finally bypass Enhanced Protected Mode.
