Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-64

Weakness Allowed

Windows Shortcut Following (.LNK)

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Incomplete

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently handle when the file is a Windows shortcut (.LNK) whose target is outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files.

Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Notes

Research Gap

Under-studied. Windows .LNK files are more "portable" than Unix symlinks and have been used in remote exploits. Some Windows API's will access LNK's as if they are regular files, so one would expect that they would be reported more frequently.

Title
Information Tampering Vulnerability in Multiple Processes of GENESIS64, ICONICS Suite, MobileHMI, Hyper Historian, AnalytiX, IoTWorX, MC Works64, and GENESIS
Summary
Windows Shortcut Following (.LNK) vulnerability in multiple processes of Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric MobileHMI versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric AnalytiX versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric IoTWorX version 10.95, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS version 11.00, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions MobileHMI versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions AnalytiX versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions IoTWorX version 10.95, and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS version 11.00 allows a local authenticated attacker to make an unauthorized write to arbitrary files, by creating a symbolic link from a file used as a write destination by the processes of the affected products to a target file. This could allow the attacker to destroy the file on a PC with the affected products installed, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the PC if the destroyed file is necessary for the operation of the PC.

Title
Duo Authentication Proxy Installer Denial of Service Vulnerability
Summary
The Duo Authentication Proxy installer prior to 5.2.1 did not properly validate file installation paths. This allows an attacker with local user privileges to coerce the installer to write to arbitrary privileged directories. If successful, an attacker can manipulate files used by Duo Authentication Proxy installer, cause Denial of Service (DoS) by deleting file(s), or replace system files to potentially achieve elevation of privileges. This is only exploitable during new installations, while the installer is running, and is not exploitable once installation has finished. Versions 5.2.1 of Duo Authentication Proxy installer addresses this issue.

Details

Windows Shortcut Following (.LNK) vulnerability in multiple processes of Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS version 11.00, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, and Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS version 11.00 allows a local authenticated attacker to make an unauthorized write to arbitrary files, by creating a symbolic link from a file used as a write destination by the processes of the affected products to a target file. This could allow the attacker to destroy the file on a PC with the affected products installed, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the PC if the destroyed file is necessary for the operation of the PC.

Severity
5.9 (Medium)

Mitigation MIT-48.1
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

  • Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
  • Denying access to a file can prevent an attacker from replacing that file with a link to a sensitive file. Ensure good compartmentalization in the system to provide protected areas that can be trusted.
