Summary

Microsoft Management Console Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability is related to improper neutralization and allows for remote code execution. The attack vector is local, requires user interaction, and no privileges are needed to exploit it.

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to a complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. An attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the user running the Microsoft Management Console. This could result in unauthorized access, data theft, system manipulation, or service disruption.

Exploitation

There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. The vulnerability is actively being exploited in the wild and was added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerability list. Its exploitation has been reported by various sources, including tenable.com.

Patch

A patch is available. Microsoft released a security update to address this vulnerability on October 8, 2024.

Mitigation

1. Apply the security update provided by Microsoft as soon as possible. 2. Implement the principle of least privilege, ensuring users only have the necessary permissions to perform their tasks. 3. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted files or content, especially when using the Microsoft Management Console. 4. Consider implementing application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized code execution. 5. Regularly monitor and audit system logs for any suspicious activities related to the Microsoft Management Console. 6. Keep all Microsoft products and operating systems up-to-date with the latest security patches.

CVE-2024-43572 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - Microsoft Management Console Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution? The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required , this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

CISA: CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
CISA has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog , based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2024-43047 Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets Use-After-Free Vulnerability CVE-2024-43572 Microsoft Windows Management Console Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2024-43573 Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Spoofing Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria .
