​MS-MSDT Office RCE

MS Office docx files may contain external OLE Object references as HTML files. There is an HTML sceme "ms-msdt:" which invokes the msdt diagnostic tool, what is capable of executing arbitrary code (specified in parameters). The result is a terrifying attack vector for getting RCE through opening malicious docx files (without using macros).
