Windows Vulnerability With New Public Exploits Lets You Become Admin
(published: January 29, 2022)
A new vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-21882 was discovered by researcher RyeLv in early January 2022. The exploit is a bypass to a previous vulnerability, CVE-2021-1732, and affects all Windows 10 machines that have not applied January’s Patch Tuesday patch. This vulnerability is a privilege escalation exploit, which grants administrator level privileges and allows for the creation of new admin accounts, as well as lateral movement. The exploit abuses a flaw in the manner in which the kernel handles callbacks, changing the flag ConsoleWindow. This will modify the window type, and tricks the system into thinking tagWND.WndExtra is an offset of the kernel desktop heap, thereby granting administrator level read and write access.Analyst Comment: Apply patches when they become available to keep your systems and assets protected from the latest attacks and vulnerabilities. This is essential when new vulnerabilities are discovered as threat actors will actively attempt to exploit them. A strong patch management policy combined with an effective asset management policy will assist you in keeping your assets up to date and protected.MITRE ATT&CK ..
