Rapid7 Nexpose Unquoted Service Path Vulnerability

The Rapid7 Nexpose Security Console version 6.6.240 on Windows 10 x64 is vulnerable to an unquoted service path issue. By inserting malicious code into the system root path, an attacker could potentially execute the code with elevated privileges during application startup or reboot.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should ensure that all service paths are quoted correctly. Regular security checks and monitoring for unauthorized system changes can also help prevent exploitation.

# Step to discover Unquoted Service Path:

C:\Users\saudh>wmic service where 'name like "%nexposeconsole%"' get name, displayname, pathname, startmode, startname

DisplayName               Name            PathName                                                 StartMode  StartName 
Nexpose Security Console  nexposeconsole  "C:\Program Files\rapid7\nexpose\nsc\bin\nexlaunch.exe"  Auto       LocalSystem

# Service info:

        DEPENDENCIES       :
        SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem


#Exploit:

A successful attempt would require the local user to be able to insert their code in the system root path undetected by the OS or other security applications where it could potentially be executed during application startup or reboot. If successful, the local user's code would execute with the elevated privileges of the application.
