In this article, the focus is on the privilege escalation process used by attackers to gain administrative rights through exploiting the unquoted service path vulnerability. This vulnerability, although mitigated in newer systems, persists in older or poorly configured systems, allowing attackers to execute malicious code with SYSTEM privileges. The article also discusses detection methods and security measures to address this vulnerability. Affected: systems with unquoted service path vulnerabilities, organizations targeted by FIN13, users of SAP software
Keypoints :
- Attackers may exploit the unquoted service path vulnerability to gain administrative rights.
- This vulnerability allows attackers to execute code with SYSTEM privileges, compromising system integrity.
- Older or poorly configured systems are particularly susceptible to these security issues.
- Detection methods include examining log entries for process creation events or using PowerShell commands to find unquoted paths.
- FIN13 is an example of a cyber threat group that has exploited unquoted path vulnerabilities.
- Preventive measures include fixing unquoted paths and restricting executable paths on systems.
