Mr.Robot Hacks (Hack with a CD?!)

Hello everyone.

This is my first post here, so...

I was watching Mr.Robot, the part that Dark Army hacks Angela's PC with a CD.

but i know that it's not possible, because in Windows Vista and later there is no Autorun that run without permission!

so my mind goes for USB Rubber Duck. of course i know it has a chip and... (I didn't see it myself!)

but i believe we could make something like that with a CD.

Maybe i'm just talking ridiculous but if someone could tell me is that possible or not, and how it's possible to get a shell with just a CD, i appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
