Nessus 5.2.1 Local Privilege Escalation

Posted Mar 21, 2014

Authored by Neil Jones | Site nccgroup.com

An authenticated Nessus scan of a target machine may result in local privilege escalation on that target machine if scanned with the Malicious Process Detection plugin (Plugin ID 59275). The Malicious Process Detection plugin created a service which ran as SYSTEM however this binary could be modified by a low level user allowing for privilege escalation. Nessus appliance engine version 5.2.1 the plugin set 201402092115 is affected.
