Summary of the Pull Request
Added a rule to detect possible exploitation of ZDI-CAN-25373 as reported by Trendmicro.
According to Trendmicro, ZDI-CAN-25373 relates to the way Windows displays the contents of shortcut (.lnk) files through the Windows UI. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can prepare a malicious .lnk file for delivery to a victim. Upon examining the file using the Windows-provided user interface, the victim will not be able to tell that the file contains any malicious content. The sections below explain the vulnerability in further detail.
