CVE-2019-12889
An unauthenticated privilege escalation exists in SailPoint Desktop Password Reset 7.2. A user with local access to only the Windows logon screen can escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\System. An attacker would need local access to the machine for a successful exploit. The attacker must disconnect the computer from the local network / WAN and connect it to an internet facing access point / network. At that point, the attacker can execute the password-reset functionality, which will expose a web browser. Browsing to a site that calls local Windows system functions (e.g., file upload) will expose the local file system. From there an attacker can launch a privileged command shell.

Un usuario con acceso local solo a la pantalla de inicio de sesión de Windows puede escalar sus privilegios a NT AUTHORITY-System. Un atacante necesitaría acceso local a la máquina para una explotación con éxito. El atacante debe desconectar el equipo de la red local / WAN y conectarlo a un punto de acceso de internet / network. En ese momento, el atacante puede ejecutar la funcionalidad de restablecimiento de contraseña, que expondrá un navegador web. Explorar en un sitio que llama a funciones del sistema local de Windows (por ejemplo, carga de archivos) expondrá el sistema de archivos local. Desde allí, un atacante puede activar un comando de shell privilegiado."
