# Version: CompuSource Systems - Real Time Home Banking  
# Tested on: Windows 7  
# CVE : TBD  
  
Note: Windows Server 2003/2008/2012 *may* be vulnerable, depending on  
system configuration.  
  
This vulnerability has been reference checked against multiple installs.  
This configuration was identical across all systems tested.  
  
Executables/Services:  
  
%SystemRoot%/css50/csdir/RealTimeHomeBankingSvc.exe  
HomeBankingService  
  
Attack Detail:  
The application installs with LOCAL SYSTEM service credentials in the  
directory %SystemRoot%/css50/csdir  
  
  
The executables that are installed, by default, allow AUTHENTICATED USERS  
to modify, replace or alter the file. This would allow an attacker to  
inject their code or replace the executable and have it run in the context  
of the system.  
  
  
This would allow complete compromise of a machine on which it was  
installed, giving the process LOCAL SYSTEM access to the machine in  
question. An attacker can replace the file or append code to the  
executable, reboot the system or restart the service and it would then  
compromise the machine. As LOCAL SYSTEM is the highest privilege level on a  
machine, this allows total control and access to all parts of the system.  
  
  
Remediation:  
  
Remove the modify/write permissions on the executables to allow only  
privileged users to alter the files.  
Apply vendor patch when distributed.
