Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report outlines a critical privilege escalation vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-50892. It affects the eudskacs.sys driver version 20250328 shipped with EaseUs Todo Backup 1.2.0.1. The vulnerability can allow a local, low-privileged attacker to perform arbitrary raw disk reads and writes, potentially leading to data leakage or system<\/a> compromise.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-50892
\nSeverity: High, CVSS 7.8
\nAttack Vector: Local
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, denial of service, or local privilege escalation.<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

EaseUs Todo Backup | 1.2.0.1<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises from the eudskacs.sys driver’s failure to properly validate privileges for I\/O requests (IRP_MJ_READ\/IRP_MJ_WRITE) sent to its device object. An attacker with low-level privileges can send these requests to read or write data arbitrarily on the disk. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of system services, or an escalation of the attacker’s privileges on the system.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the nature of this vulnerability, a conceptual exploit would involve a malicious low privileged application making a system call to the vulnerable driver, as demonstrated below:<\/p>\n

#include \nint main() {\nHANDLE hDevice = CreateFile(\"\\\\\\\\.\\\\EUDSKACS\", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);\nif (hDevice == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {\nprintf(\"Failed to open device: %d\\n\", GetLastError());\nreturn 1;\n}\nDWORD bytesReturned;\nif (!DeviceIoControl(hDevice, IOCTL_CODE, &inputBuffer, sizeof(inputBuffer), &outputBuffer, sizeof(outputBuffer), &bytesReturned, NULL)) {\nprintf(\"DeviceIoControl failed: %d\\n\", GetLastError());\nreturn 1;\n}\nCloseHandle(hDevice);\nreturn 0;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this conceptual example, IOCTL_CODE would be a control code for an I\/O operation that the eudskacs.sys driver does not properly validate. The inputBuffer and outputBuffer would contain arbitrary data to be written to or read from the disk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
