BeyondTrust vulnerabilities

BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and certain older versions of Privileged Remote Access (PRA) contain a critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability. By sending specially crafted requests, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute operating system commands in the context of the site user.

A medium-severity vulnerability has been identified in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows versions <=25.7. Under certain conditions, a local authenticated user with elevated privileges may be able to bypass the product’s anti-tamper protections, which could allow access to protected application components and the ability to modify product configuration.

Prior to 25.4.270.0, when wmic.exe is elevated with a full admin token the user can stop the Defendpoint service, bypassing anti-tamper protections. Once the service is disabled, the malicious user can add themselves to Administrators group and run any process with elevated permissions.

Prior to version 25.4.270.0, a local authenticated attacker can manipulate user profile files to add illegitimate challenge response codes into the local user registry under certain conditions. This allows users with the ability to edit their user profile files to elevate their privileges to administrator.

The chat feature within Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) is vulnerable to a Server-Side Template Injection vulnerability which can lead to remote code execution.

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) versions prior to 25.1 are vulnerable to a local authentication bypass. A local authenticated attacker can view the connection details of a ShellJump session that was initiated with external tools, allowing unauthorized access to connected sessions.

Prior to 25.2, a local authenticated attacker can elevate privileges on a system with Privilege Management for Windows installed, via the manipulation of COM objects under certain circumstances where an EPM policy allows for automatic privilege elevation of a user process.

A vulnerability has been discovered in Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) which can allow an attacker with existing administrative privileges to inject commands and run as a site user.

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) products which can allow an unauthenticated attacker to inject commands that are run as a site user.

A medium severity vulnerability has been identified within Privileged Identity which can allow an attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting attacks.

A medium severity vulnerability in BIPS has been identified where an authenticated attacker with high privileges can access the SSH private keys via an information leak in the server response.

A low severity vulnerability in BIPS has been identified where an attacker with high privileges or a compromised high privilege account can overwrite Read-Only smart rules via a specially crafted API request.

Prior to 23.1, an information disclosure vulnerability exists within BeyondInsight which can allow an attacker to enumerate usernames.

Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in BeyondTrust U-Series Appliance on Windows, 64 bit (filesystem modules) allows DLL Side-Loading.This issue affects U-Series Appliance: from 3.4 before 4.0.3.

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows before 24.1. When an low-privileged user initiates a repair, there is an attack vector through which the user is able to execute any program with elevated privileges.

The Challenge Response feature of BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows (PMfW) before 2023-07-14 allows local administrators to bypass this feature by decrypting the shared key, or by locating the decrypted shared key in process memory. The threat is mitigated by the Agent Protection feature.

In BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows (aka PMfW) through 5.7, a SYSTEM installation causes Cryptbase.dll to be loaded from the user-writable location %WINDIR%\Temp.

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows through 5.6. If the publisher criteria is selected, it defines the name of a publisher that must be present in the certificate (and also requires that the certificate is valid). If an Add Admin token is protected by this criteria, it can be leveraged by a malicious actor to achieve Elevation of Privileges from standard user to administrator.

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows through 5.6. When specifying a program to elevate, it can typically be found within the Program Files (x86) folder and therefore uses the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable. However, when this same policy gets pushed to a 32bit machine, this environment variable does not exist. Therefore, since the standard user can create a user level environment variable, they can repoint this variable to any folder the user has full control of. Then, the folder structure can be created in such a way that a rule matches and arbitrary code runs elevated.

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows through 5.6. When adding the Add Admin token to a process, and specifying that it runs at medium integrity with the user owning the process, this security token can be stolen and applied to arbitrary processes.

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Mac before 5.7. An authenticated, unprivileged user can elevate privileges by running a malicious script (that executes as root from a temporary directory) during install time. (This applies to macOS before 10.15.5, or Security Update 2020-003 on Mojave and High Sierra, Later versions of macOS are not vulnerable.)

An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows through 5.6. An attacker can spawn a process with multiple users as part of the security token (prior to Avecto elevation). When Avecto elevates the process, it removes the user who is launching the process, but not the second user. Therefore this second user still retains access and can give permission to the process back to the first user.

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) versions 22.2.x to 22.4.x are vulnerable to a local authentication bypass. Attackers can exploit a flawed secret verification process in the BYOT shell jump sessions, allowing unauthorized access to jump items by guessing only the first character of the secret.

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) versions 23.2.1 and 23.2.2 contain a command injection vulnerability which can be exploited through a malicious HTTP request. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute underlying operating system commands within the context of the site user. This issue is fixed in version 23.2.3.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been reported and confirmed for BeyondTrust Secure Remote Access Base Software version 6.0.1 and older, which allows the injection of unauthenticated, specially-crafted web requests without proper sanitization.

Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) before 8.8.15 Patch 7 allows SSRF when WebEx zimlet is installed and zimlet JSP is enabled.
