Check for possible actions inside the GUI application

Common Dialogs are those options of saving a file, opening a file, selecting a font, a color... Most of them will offer a full Explorer functionality. This means that you will be able to access Explorer functionalities if you can access these options:

  • Close/Close as
  • Open/Open with
  • Print
  • Export/Import
  • Search
  • Scan

You should check if you can:

  • Modify or create new files
  • Create symbolic links
  • Get access to restricted areas
  • Execute other apps

Command Execution

Maybe using a Open with option you can open/execute some kind of shell.

Windows

For example cmd.exe, command.com, Powershell/Powershell ISE, mmc.exe, at.exe, taskschd.msc... find more binaries that can be used to execute commands (and perform unexpected actions) here: https://lolbas-project.github.io/
