This is the recently discovered Follina exploit which is assigned as CVE-2022-30190. It allows the hacker to get a Remote Code Execution (RCE) on your computer. In-order to trigger this exploit, the user need not even open the maldoc, he/she just needs to preview it! The vulnerability lies in the MS-MSDT URL protocol - Windows blindly executes code when this protocol is used along with some parameters and a powershell expression.

A workaround for this vulnerability is to disable MSDT URL protocol on your computer. In-order to do that:

1. Open cmd as administrator
2. Backup your registry key with the command: reg export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ms-msdt filename
3. Disable MSDT: reg delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ms-msdt /f

This should make you invulnerable to this exploit until the patch releases.
