IXP Data

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to weak permissions on the Engine Service share. The default file permissions of the IXP$ share on the server allows modification of directories and files (e.g., bat-scripts), which allows remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" on the target server and clients.


Remediation

Install updates from vendor's website.
