Descriptions

A local attacker can create a hard-link between a file to which the Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows before E80.96 writes and another BAT file, then by impersonating the WPAD server, the attacker can write BAT commands into that file that will later be run by the user or the system.

Un atacante local puede crear un enlace físico entre un archivo en el cual el cliente para Windows de Check Point Endpoint Security escribe, en versiones anteriores a E80.96, y otro archivo BAT, y luego, haciéndose pasar por el servidor WPAD, el atacante puede escribir comandos BAT en ese archivo que más tarde será ejecutado por el usuario o el sistema.
