CVE-2016-20091

Estado: AplazadaAlta (8.5)—

Windows Firewall Control 4.8.6.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by inserting malicious executables in the service path. Attackers can place executable files in unquoted path directories that the wfcs.exe service will execute with LocalSystem privileges upon service restart or system reboot.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad de ruta de servicio sin comillas (CWE-428) en acceso local con PR:L permite escalada a LocalSystem. Insertar ejecutable malicioso en ruta no entrecomillada logra ejecución de código con máximos privilegios.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
