How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of a DLL hijacking vulnerability in CYRISMA Agent. A malicious user can place an arbitrary DLL file in a specific path that the software is programmed to call. When the software attempts to load the DLL, it inadvertently executes the malicious DLL instead, allowing the attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code.
Conceptual Example Code
The following pseudocode illustrates the basic concept of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
# Place malicious DLL in the path
place_dll_in_path("path_to_dll", "malicious_dll")
# Trigger the software to call the DLL
trigger_dll_call("path_to_dll")
# The software executes the malicious DLL, leading to privilege escalation and arbitrary code executionMitigation
The recommended mitigation measure is to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. These systems can potentially detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
