The LPE was found by @zux0x3a, here is his blog post: http://0xsp.com/security%20research%20&%20development%20(SRD)/local-administrator-is-not-just-with-razer-it-is-possible-for-all
After plugging the keyboard, windows 10 start the process of installation and then immediately popped up the software installer. What have to understand from the installation process is that the software will first download another setup file “SteelSeriesGG6.2.0Setup.exe” and place the whole content into C:\windows\temp folder which means that the user cannot select a folder to save. ... In any setup process, there is a user agreement that needs users’ approval to proceed, by looking into the dialog I have spotted a learn more link is clickable and could allow me to abuse it to lunch another process with the same SYSTEM level. |
