-
Subverting Environment Variable Values
The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
-
Footprinting
An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
-
Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client.
An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client.
There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
-
Browser Fingerprinting
An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
-
Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.
-
Reusing Session IDs (aka Session Replay)
This attack targets the reuse of valid session ID to spoof the target system in order to gain privileges. The attacker tries to reuse a stolen session ID used previously during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking. Another name for this type of attack is Session Replay.
-
Using Slashes in Alternate Encoding
This attack targets the encoding of the Slash characters. An attacker would try to exploit common filtering problems related to the use of the slashes characters to gain access to resources on the target host. Directory-driven systems, such as file systems and databases, typically use the slash character to indicate traversal between directories or other container components. For murky historical reasons, PCs (and, as a result, Microsoft OSs) choose to use a backslash, whereas the UNIX world typically makes use of the forward slash. The schizophrenic result is that many MS-based systems are required to understand both forms of the slash. This gives the attacker many opportunities to discover and abuse a number of common filtering problems. The goal of this pattern is to discover server software that only applies filters to one version, but not the other.

NASL family | Windows : Microsoft Bulletins | NASL id | SMB_NT_MS18_JUL_4338819.NASL | description | The remote Windows host is missing security update 4338819.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in .NET
Framework which could allow an attacker to elevate their
privilege level. (CVE-2018-8202)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
Microsoft .NET Framework components do not correctly
validate certificates. An attacker could present expired
certificates when challenged. The security update
addresses the vulnerability by ensuring that .NET
Framework components correctly validate certificates.
(CVE-2018-8356)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt
memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
could gain the same user rights as the current user.
(CVE-2018-8242, CVE-2018-8296)
- A Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in .NET
software when the software fails to check the source
markup of a file. An attacker who successfully exploited
the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the
context of the current user. If the current user is
logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker
could take control of the affected system. An attacker
could then install programs; view, change, or delete
data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
(CVE-2018-8260)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists when Windows
improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause a
target system to stop responding. (CVE-2018-8309)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
that the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in
memory in Microsoft Edge. The vulnerability could
corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could
execute arbitrary code in the context of the current
user. An attacker who successfully exploited the
vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the
current user. (CVE-2018-8280, CVE-2018-8286,
CVE-2018-8290, CVE-2018-8294)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
Windows when the Windows kernel-mode driver fails to
properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could run
arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then
install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
create new accounts with full user rights.
(CVE-2018-8282)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists when Windows
improperly handles File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
connections. An attacker who successfully exploited the
vulnerability could cause a target system to stop
responding. (CVE-2018-8206)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
Microsoft Edge improperly handles objects in memory. An
attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
could obtain information to further compromise the users
system. (CVE-2018-8289, CVE-2018-8297, CVE-2018-8324,
CVE-2018-8325)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Device
Guard that could allow an attacker to inject malicious
code into a Windows PowerShell session. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could inject
code into a trusted PowerShell process to bypass the
Device Guard Code Integrity policy on the local machine.
(CVE-2018-8222)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
Microsoft Internet Explorer improperly handles requests
involving UNC resources. An attacker who successfully
exploited the vulnerability could force the browser to
load data that would otherwise be restricted.
(CVE-2018-0949)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
Windows kernel fails to properly handle objects in
memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
An attacker could then install programs; view, change,
or delete data; or create new accounts with full user
rights. (CVE-2018-8308)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
Microsoft WordPad improperly handles embedded OLE
objects. An attacker who successfully exploited the
vulnerability could bypass content blocking. In a file-
sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a
specially crafted document file designed to exploit the
vulnerability, and then convince a user to open the
document file. The security update addresses the
vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft WordPad
handles input. (CVE-2018-8307)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the
Microsoft Chakra scripting engine that allows Control
Flow Guard (CFG) to be bypassed. By itself, the CFG
bypass vulnerability does not allow arbitrary code
execution. However, an attacker could use the CFG bypass
vulnerability in conjunction with another vulnerability,
such as a remote code execution vulnerability, to run
arbitrary code on a target system. (CVE-2018-8276)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
way that the Windows Kernel API enforces permissions. An
attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
could impersonate processes, interject cross-process
communication, or interrupt system functionality.
(CVE-2018-8313)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt
memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
could gain the same user rights as the current user.
(CVE-2018-8287, CVE-2018-8288, CVE-2018-8291)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory.
The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way
that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in
the context of the current user. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the
same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2018-8125,
CVE-2018-8262, CVE-2018-8274, CVE-2018-8275,
CVE-2018-8279, CVE-2018-8301)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
Microsoft .NET Framework fails to validate input
properly. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
An attacker could then install programs; view, change,
or delete data; or create new accounts with full user
rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have
fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted
than users who operate with administrative user rights.
(CVE-2018-8284)
- A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge
improperly handles specific HTML content. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could
trick a user into believing that the user was on a
legitimate website. The specially crafted website could
either spoof content or serve as a pivot to chain an
attack with other vulnerabilities in web services.
