Descriptions

Rapid7 Insight Agent, version 2.6.3 and prior, suffers from a local privilege escalation due to an uncontrolled DLL search path. Specifically, when Insight Agent 2.6.3 and prior starts, the Python interpreter attempts to load python3.dll at "C:\DLLs\python3.dll," which normally is writable by locally authenticated users. Because of this, a malicious local user could use Insight Agent's startup conditions to elevate to SYSTEM privileges. This issue was fixed in Rapid7 Insight Agent 2.6.4.

Insight Agent de Rapid7, versión 2.6.3 y anteriores, sufre de una escalada de privilegios locales debido a una ruta (path) de búsqueda de DLL no controlada. Específicamente, durante el inicio de Insight Agent versión 2.6.3 y anteriores, el intérprete de Python intenta cargar python3.dll en "C:\DLLs\python3.dll", que comúnmente es escribible por usuarios autenticados localmente. Debido a esto, un usuario local malicioso podría usar las condiciones de inicio de Insight Agent para elevar los privilegios a SYSTEM. Este problema fue solucionado en Rapid7 Insight Agent versión 2.6.4.
