Threat: Trojan.Win32.Autoit.fhj
Vulnerability: Insecure Permissions
Description: The malware writes two hidden DLL files "vp8decoder.dll" and "vp8encoder.dll" to its installation directory granting full (F) permissions to the Everyone user group. Any user can replace the PE files dropped by the malware to disable it or replace it with their own executable. Then wait for a privileged user to logon to the infected machine to potentially escalate privileges.
