The reason I think you have to run wab.exe its because that's the foolish app that has the corresponding dll isssue. The cvs is just a bonus, I could be wrong.

Instead of it executing "wab.exe (Windows Address Book) and open the file test.vcf", one can directly get any .exe file open.The whole point is that launching wab.exe and opening a test file is relatively innocuous - but if you can do that, you're basically holding the user's testicles in one hand and a very sharp knife in the other. It *could* have been anything - but we'll just do something mostly harmless just to be nice.
I thought that the point is that the victim does not invoke wab.exe directly, but simply double-clicks on the innocent VCF file. The attacker provides an innocent (and innocent-looking) VCF or similar file, and places some DLLs in the same folder (or in some cases in a lower-level folder). The unsafe application foolishly looks for its DLLs in (or under) the current dir.
