Descriptions

A vulnerability in the AppDynamics .NET Agent for Windows could allow an attacker to leverage an authenticated, local user account to gain SYSTEM privileges. This vulnerability is due to the .NET Agent Coordinator Service executing code with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker with local access to a device that is running the vulnerable agent could create a custom process that would be launched with those SYSTEM privileges. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. This vulnerability is fixed in AppDynamics .NET Agent Release 21.7.

Una vulnerabilidad en el agente .NET de AppDynamics para Windows, podría permitir a un atacante aprovechar una cuenta de usuario local autenticada para alcanzar privilegios SYSTEM. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a que NET Agent Coordinator Service ejecuta código con privilegios SYSTEM. Un atacante con acceso local a un dispositivo que esté ejecutando el agente vulnerable podría crear un proceso personalizado que podría ser iniciado con esos privilegios SYSTEM. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo subyacente. Esta vulnerabilidad es corregida en AppDynamics .NET Agent versión 21.7.
