'Name' => 'Chilkat Crypt ActiveX WriteFile Unsafe Method',  
'Description' => %q{  
This module allows attackers to execute code via the 'WriteFile' unsafe method of  
Chilkat Software Inc's Crypt ActiveX control.  
  
This exploit is based on shinnai's exploit that uses an hcp:// protocol URI to  
execute our payload immediately. However, this method requires that the victim user  
be browsing with Administrator. Additionally, this method will not work on newer  
versions of Windows.  
  
NOTE: This vulnerability is still unpatched. The latest version of Chilkat Crypt at  
the time of this writing includes ChilkatCrypt2.DLL version 4.4.4.0.
