New Windows 10 vulnerability bypasses OS defenses, says security researcher

Vulnerability could be exploited to run arbitrary code on PCs.

Windows 10 PCs are at risk from hackers exploiting a file format to bypass key defenses in the OS, according to new security research.

The .SettingContent-ms file type can be used to to run arbitrary, and potentially dangerous, code, research by the security firm Specter Ops security has found.

The arbitrary code could be run on a target machine by getting a user to open a Word document that contains an embedded .SettingContent-ms file.
