WINDOWS DRIVE-BY RCE HAUNTS.!
Date: December 8, 2021Author: PravinKarthik 0 Comments
A drive-by remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Windows 10 that can be
triggered simply by clicking a malicious URL could allow attackers full access
to a victim’s files and data.
Advertisements
The security flaw, an argument injection in the Windows 10/11 default handler
for ms-officecmd: URIs, is present in Windows 10 via Internet Explorer 11/Edge
Legacy browsers and Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft has since released a patch, but researchers claim that the fix –
applied five months after the bug report “fails to properly address the
underlying argument injection which is currently also still present on Windows
11”.
Windows internally uses ms-officecmd: URIs to start various Microsoft programs.
Researchers revealed how it is possible to craft an URL in such a way that, when
clicked, it will execute a malicious command while also starting Microsoft
Teams.

Chained together with a security issue in Internet Explorer 11/Edge Legacy,
visiting a malicious website is enough to trigger the exploit. The researchers
also warned that this vulnerability is still present in the operating system.
The attack starts with a victim either visiting a malicious website in IE11/Edge
Legacy or clicking a malicious link in another browser or desktop application.
The link is then forwarded to LocalBridge.exe, which in turn runs various Office
executables with a segment of the link as argument.
Possibility to inject additional arguments exists, which allowed us to achieve
code execution by triggering the launch of Microsoft Teams with an additional
–gpu-launcher argument that is then interpreted by Electron.
Exploitation through other browsers requires the victim to accept an
inconspicuous confirmation dialog. Alternatively, a malicious URI could also be
delivered via a desktop application performing unsafe URL handling. However, a
precondition for this exploit is to have Microsoft Teams installed but not
running.

When the issue was reported, Microsoft told the team that since this was a
social engineering attack, it was not eligible for a bug bounty reward. A
lengthy appeal process eventually resulted in the researchers being awarded a
$5,000 reward – a figure that they argued was still insufficient, since it was
just 10% of the maximum reward.
Although the proof-of-concept no longer works, the argument injection
vulnerability has not been patched.
