| Jan 19, 2014 at 21:41 | comment | added | abstrask | As I read the blog entry you linked to, they've just made sure that changing UAC level, will trigger UAC confirmation too (which sounds sensible). As per Leo's website (which I linked to): "Everything below still applies to the final retail release of Windows 7 (and all updates as of 14/Sep/2011)". I know lots of patches have been released since, but it doesn't sounds like it's considered a security hole and MS may not want to patch it ("this behavior is by design")? | |

Changed "remote code execution" to "code injection"
