Blogger: Windows 7 UAC Feature Still Vulnerable

A security vulnerability in Windows 7’s User Account Control (UAC) feature can be exploited. A Microsoft blogger who first pointed out the vulnerability claims it still exists and that Microsoft won’t fix it. Zheng said he was able to turn the feature off remotely with keyboard shortcuts and code. Zheng also pointed to an instructional document by Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich that attempts to explain UAC. Microsoft did not officially respond to a request for comment on Zheng’s claim and video post, but a company spokesperson said privately that Zheng may have misinterpreted the document.”]
