Description
This module harnesses Maple's ability to create files and execute commands
automatically when opening a Maplet. All versions up to 13 are suspected
vulnerable. Testing was conducted with version 13 on Windows. Standard security
settings prevent code from running in a normal maple worksheet without user
interaction, but those setting do not prevent code in a Maplet from running.
In order for the payload to be executed, an attacker must convince someone to
open a specially modified .maplet file with Maple. By doing so, an attacker can
execute arbitrary code as the victim user.
