The exploit is intended and created to be run locally from a local security
zone - getting to a local zone in the first place requires other
vulnerabilities.

There are several steps involved in most of all IE command execution
exploits, some of these involve downloading and executing a file once you
are already in a local security zone. What http-equiv did was to simplify
that part of the process by using the Shell.Application object.
