Subject: Microsoft Word Protection Bypass
Hi all,
Microsoft Word provides an option to protect "forms" by password. This is
used to ensure that unauthorized users cannot manipulate the contents of
documents except within specially designed "form" areas. This feature is
also often used to protect documents which do not even have form areas
(quotations/offers etc.).
This form protection can easily be removed without any additional tools
(apart from a hex-editor).
Please find the full advisory attached.
best regards,
/tdk
