Recently a very dangerous exploit was discovered within Warcraft III.
Namely, it's possible to execute bytecode through a map using Jass thus allowing practically anything, including distributing malware (viruses, trojans etc).
But, don't take my word for it, try the proof-map found here yourself (it is recommended that you run it in a window).

thanks for the info... well unless you are almost playing in public places and you use public computers that you dont own... well you might as well wouldnt mind it... This is a good heads up for those computer cafe owners, so that they would be able to prevent any harms this exploit can bring.

Dekar has confirmed this.

for more informations you could try this link

What versions of Warcraft 3 does this exploit apply to? Is it only 1.23? If a private server were to downgrade to a slightly older version would they be safe from this exploit? Lol maybe this could be an excuse to convince whatever private server you play on to downgrade from 1.23. =D

All.

anyone interested in making an exploit? hehe

There's already a PoC of it which execs cmd.exe.

Dang! I'm too noob to understand all the code in PoC.

Note I did not make this application.
Below I have copied and pasted directly from the website part of that post:

Fixes:

I have written an application that mimics the actions of the official Blizzard hotfix for this issue. I can't and won't put any guarantees on this working or causing damage. Unlike the blizzard patch, however, you don't have to login for this to work, works for singleplayer and most likely LAN games also, I highly advise its use.

Instructions:
Extract the executable anywhere.
Run this application.
Run Warcraft III.
You should now be safe from maps that contain bad code.
You will need to do this everytime you restart Wc3.
