Summary

A Windows Storage Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability has been identified. This vulnerability is related to improper link resolution before file access, also known as 'link following'. It affects multiple versions of Windows operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server editions.

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker with low privileges to elevate their privileges on the system. The impact is severe, with potential for high confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches. An attacker could potentially gain administrative access, manipulate or delete sensitive data, and disrupt system operations. This vulnerability requires local access to exploit and does not need user interaction, making it easier for an attacker to take advantage of it if they already have limited access to the system.

Exploitation

There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.

Patch

Patches are available for this vulnerability. Microsoft has released updates to address this issue across affected Windows versions. The patches were initially made available on October 8, 2024, and information was updated on October 17, 2024.

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is strongly recommended to apply the latest security updates provided by Microsoft for the affected Windows versions. Specific version numbers to patch up to include: 1. Windows 11 21H2: Update to version 10.0.22000.3260 or later 2. Windows Server 2022: Update to version 10.0.20348.2762 or later 3. Windows 11 22H2: Update to version 10.0.22621.4317 or later 4. Windows 10 22H2: Update to version 10.0.19045.5011 or later 5. Windows 10 21H2: Update to version 10.0.19044.5011 or later 6. Windows Server 2016: Update to version 10.0.14393.7428 or later 7. Windows 10 1607: Update to version 10.0.14393.7428 or later 8. Windows 10 1809: Update to version 10.0.17763.6414 or later 9. Windows Server 2022 23H2: Update to version 10.0.25398.1189 or later 10. Windows 11 24H2: Update to version 10.0.26100.2033 or later 11. Windows 11 23H2: Update to version 10.0.22631.4317 or later 12. Windows Server 2019: Update to version 10.0.17763.6414 or later Additionally, implement the principle of least privilege, ensuring users and applications operate with minimal necessary permissions. Regularly monitor systems for suspicious activities, particularly those that might indicate privilege escalation attempts.
