PredatorSense V3: Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability
Overview
Description

PredatorSense version 3.00.3136 to 3.00.3196 contain Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability.The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing any authenticated local user to execute arbitrary code with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges and to delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges. By leveraging this, an attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.

Scoring
CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 4.0 HIGH 8fc372e3-d9c5-46e4-9410-38469745c639
CVSS 4.0 HIGH 8fc372e3-d9c5-46e4-9410-38469745c639
Solution
Address misconfigured Named Pipe to prevent privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.
  • Restrict access to the Windows Named Pipe.
  • Validate input in the custom protocol.
  • Apply vendor patches or updates.
  • Review service configurations for System privileges.
