Description
By design, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 automatically executes code in the Load event of a user-defined control (UserControl1_Load function), which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking the user into opening a malicious Visual Studio project file.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
