CVE-2016-10031

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2016-10031. PoCs published by Heliand Dema.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This is a writeup detailing a local privilege escalation vulnerability in WampServer 3.0.6 due to weak file permissions on service executables. Authenticated but non-privileged users can replace the executables to achieve SYSTEM-level code execution.

WampServer 3.0.6 installs two services called 'wampapache' and 'wampmysqld' with weak file permissions, running with SYSTEM privileges. This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system. To properly exploit this vulnerability, the local attacker must insert an executable file called mysqld.exe or httpd.exe and replace the original files. The next time the service starts, the malicious file will get executed as SYSTEM. NOTE: the vendor disputes the relevance of this report, taking the position that a configuration in which "'someone' (an attacker) is able to replace files on a PC" is not "the fault of WampServer.
