Of course that's enough to run malware. Just inject Win+R, cmd, enter, <your shell code here>

You are missing the point you don’t need a rubber ducky to input malware, all you need is a sheet of paper and some time.

On restricted workstations even if you can run command prompt which isn’t guaranteed it won’t lead to anything.
