Affected packages
• NuGet DSInternals.Common: >= 2.21, < 4.8 → fixed in 4.8
Description
Impact
A vulnerability exists in the `DSInternals.Common.Data.RoamedCredential.Save()` method, which incorrectly parses the `msPKIAccountCredentials` LDAP attribute values. As a consequence, a malicious actor would be able to modify the file system of the computer where an application using this function is executed with administrative privileges.
A similar security issue used to be present in the Windows operating system, as DSInternals re-implements the Credential Roaming feature of Windows.
Exploitability
The vulnerability can be exploited under the following circumstances:
• An attacker is able to modify the `msPKIAccountCredentials` attribute of a user account in Active Directory. This attribute is used by the Credential Roaming feature of Windows and each AD user can modify their own roamed credentials. AND
• A 3rd party application uses the `DSInternals.Common` library to export roamed credentials from Active Directory to a file system. AND
• The application has administrative privileges on the local system.
The probability of any 3rd-party product using the `DSInternals.Common` library being affected by this vulnerability is extremely low.
Patches
The issue had been fixed in DSInternals 4.8.
