How the Exploit Works

The issue arises from a flawed security hardening mechanism within the kiosk browser used to display the Password Self-Service site to end users. The application attempts to restrict privileged actions by overriding the native window.print() function. However, this protection can be bypassed by an attacker who accesses the Password Self-Service site from the lock screen and navigates to an attacker-controlled webpage via the Help function. By hosting a crafted web page with JavaScript, the attacker can restore and invoke the window.print() function, launching a SYSTEM-privileged print dialog. From this dialog, the attacker can exploit standard Windows functionality – such as the Print to PDF or Add Printer wizard – to spawn a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges.

Conceptual Example Code

The following JavaScript code is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:

// Bypass the overridden window.print function
var originalPrint = window.print;
window.print = function() {
// Restore the original print function
window.print = originalPrint;
// Invoke the SYSTEM-privileged print dialog
window.print();
};

This code would be hosted on an attacker-controlled webpage, which the attacker would trick the user into navigating to via the Password Self-Service site’s Help function.
