Plantronics Hub < 3.25.1 Privilege Escalation

high Nessus Plugin ID 187379

Language:

Synopsis

A peripheral control utility installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Plantronics Hub installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.25.1. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in its updater system. Due to a race condition, a local attacker can set any permissions on arbitrary files on an affected device. This can be used to run arbitrary code as the Microsoft Windows SYSTEM account by overwriting existing binaries that are executed with SYSTEM privileges as part of the normal operation of the device.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Plantronics Hub version 3.25.1 or later.
