Description

This module exploits the Task Scheduler 2.0 XML 0day exploited by Stuxnet.
When processing task files, the Windows Task Scheduler only uses a CRC32
checksum to validate that the file has not been tampered with. Also, In a default
configuration, normal users can read and write the task files that they have
created. By modifying the task file and creating a CRC32 collision, an attacker
can execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges.

NOTE: Thanks to webDEViL for the information about disable/enable.
