MS15-004 Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Web Proxy IE Sandbox Escape

This module abuses a process creation policy in Internet Explorer's sandbox, specifically the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Web Proxy IE one, which allows the attacker to escape the Protected Mode, and execute code with Medium Integrity. At the moment, this module only bypass Protected Mode on Windows 7 SP1 and prior (32 bits). This module has been tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1 (32 bits) with IE 8 and IE 11.
