by Windows UAC Protection Bypass (Via Slui File Handler Hijack) By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Thu, 31 May 2018 20:50:19 GMT This Metasploit module will bypass UAC on Windows 8-10 by hijacking a special key in the Registry under the Current User hive, and inserting a custom command that will get invoked when any binary (.exe) application is launched. But slui.exe is an auto-elevated binary that is vulnerable to file handler hijacking. When we run slui.exe with changed Registry key (HKCU:SoftwareClassesexefileshellopencommand), it will run our custom command as Admin instead of slui.exe. The module modifies the registry in order for this exploit to work. The modification is reverted once the exploitation attempt has finished. The module does not require the architecture of the payload to match the OS. If specifying EXE::Custom your DLL should call ExitProcess() after starting the payload in a different process.

by Trend Micro Security 2019 Security Bypass Protected Service Tampering By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 16:42:02 GMT Trend Micro Maximum Security is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution as it allows for creation of registry key to target a process running as SYSTEM. This can allow a malware to gain elevated privileges to take over and shutdown services that require SYSTEM privileges like Trend Micros "Asmp" service "coreServiceShell.exe" which does not allow Administrators to tamper with them. This could allow an attacker or malware to gain elevated privileges and tamper with protected services by disabling or otherwise preventing them to start. Note administrator privileges are required to exploit this vulnerability. Full Article
