Microsoft Windows XP Explorer allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a HTML and script in a self-executing folder that references an executable file within the folder, which is automatically executed when a user accesses the folder.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
