Microsoft System Center Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Windows Initial Machine Configuration Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Summary Microsoft was notified that an elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Update, potentially enabling an attacker with basic user privileges to reintroduce previously mitigated vulnerabilities or circumvent some features of Virtualization Based Security (VBS). However, an attacker attempting to exploit this vulnerability requires additional interaction by a privileged user to be successful. Microsoft has developed a security update to mitigate this threat which was made available October 08, 2024 and is provided in the Security Updates table of this CVE for customers to download. Note: Depending on your version of Windows, additional steps may be required to update Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to be protected from this vulnerability. Please refer to the FAQ section for more information. Guidance for customers who cannot immediately implement the update is provided in the Recommended Actions section of this CVE to help reduce the risks associated with this vulnerability and to protect their systems. If there are any further updates regarding mitigations for this vulnerability, this CVE will be updated and customers will be notified. We highly encourage customers to subscribe to Security Update Guide notifications to receive an alert if an update occurs. Details A security researcher informed Microsoft of an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Windows Update potentially enabling an attacker with basic user privileges to reintroduce previously mitigated vulnerabilities or circumvent some features of VBS. For exploitation to succeed, an attacker must trick or convince an Administrator or a user with delegated permissions into performing a system restore which inadvertently triggers the vulnerability.

Incorrect validation of files loaded from a local untrusted directory may allow local privilege escalation if the underlying operating systems is Windows. This may result in the application executing arbitrary behaviour determined by the contents of untrusted files. This issue affects MongoDB Server v5.0 versions prior to 5.0.27, MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.16, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.12, MongoDB Server v7.3 versions prior 7.3.3, MongoDB C Driver versions prior to 1.26.2 and MongoDB PHP Driver versions prior to 1.18.1. Required Configuration: Only environments with Windows as the underlying operating system is affected by this issue

Local privilege escalation due to DLL hijacking vulnerability in Acronis Media Builder service. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (Windows) before build 39612, Acronis True Image 2021 (Windows) before build 39287

Bitmask Riseup VPN 0.21.6 contains a local privilege escalation flaw due to improper access controls. When the software is installed with a non-default installation directory off of the system root, the installer fails to properly set ACLs. This allows lower privileged users to replace the VPN executable with a malicious one. When a higher privileged user such as an Administrator launches that executable, it is possible for the lower privileged user to escalate to Administrator privileges.

Windows Mobile Broadband Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Razer Synapse before 3.7.0228.022817 allows privilege escalation because it relies on %PROGRAMDATA%\Razer\Synapse3\Service\bin even if %PROGRAMDATA%\Razer has been created by any unprivileged user before Synapse is installed. The unprivileged user may have placed Trojan horse DLLs there.

Windows Setup Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

ShowMyPC 3606 on Windows suffers from a DLL hijack vulnerability. If an attacker overwrites the file %temp%\ShowMyPC\-ShowMyPC3606\wodVPN.dll, it will run any malicious code contained in that file. The code will run with normal user privileges unless the user specifically runs ShowMyPC as administrator.
