AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A search path or unquoted item vulnerability in Faronics Deep Freeze Server Standard, which affects versions 8.30.020.4627 and earlier. This vulnerability affects the DFServ.exe file. An attacker with local user privileges could exploit this vulnerability to replace the legitimate DFServ.exe service executable with a malicious file of the same name and located in a directory that has a higher priority than the legitimate directory. Thus, when the service starts, it will run the malicious file instead of the legitimate executable, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code, gain unauthorized access to the compromised system or stop the service from running.

Remedy

The vulnerability has been resolved by the Faronics team in version 8.31.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. The Insight Teacher Console application allows unauthenticated attackers to view constantly updated screenshots of student desktops and to submit falsified screenshots on behalf of students. Attackers are able to view screenshots of student desktops without their consent. These screenshots may potentially contain sensitive/personal data. Attackers can also rapidly submit falsified images, hiding the actual contents of student desktops from the Teacher Console.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. It is possible for a remote attacker to communicate with the private API endpoints exposed at /login, /consoleSettings, /console, etc. despite Virtual Host Routing being used to block this access. Remote attackers can interact with private pages on the web server, enabling them to perform privileged actions such as logging into the console and changing console settings if they have valid credentials.

CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. The Insight Teacher Console application exposes the teacher's Console password in cleartext via an API endpoint accessible from localhost. Attackers with physical access to the Teacher Console can open a web browser, navigate to the affected endpoint and obtain the teacher's password. This enables them to log into the Teacher Console and begin trivially attacking student machines.

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. It is possible for an attacker to create a crafted program that functions similarly to the Teacher Console. This can compel Student Consoles to connect and put themselves at risk automatically. Connected Student Consoles can be compelled to write arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on disk with NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM level permissions, enabling remote code execution.

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. It is possible for an attacker to create a proof-of-concept script that functions similarly to a Student Console, providing unauthenticated attackers with the ability to exploit XSS vulnerabilities within the Teacher Console application and achieve remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM on all connected Student Consoles and the Teacher Console in a Zero Click manner.

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. A suitably positioned attacker could perform a man-in-the-middle attack on either a connected student or teacher, enabling them to intercept student keystrokes or modify executable files being sent from teachers to students.

Malicious File Upload
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. An unauthenticated attacker is able to upload any type of file to any location on the Teacher Console's computer, enabling a variety of different exploitation paths including code execution. It is also possible for the attacker to chain this vulnerability with others to cause a deployed DLL file to immediately execute as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. Every keystroke made by any user on a computer with the Student application installed is logged to a world-readable directory. A local attacker can trivially extract these cleartext keystrokes, potentially enabling them to obtain PII and/or to compromise personal accounts owned by the victim.

XSS
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. Attacker-supplied input is not validated/sanitized before being rendered in both the Teacher and Student Console applications, enabling an attacker to execute JavaScript in these applications. Due to the rich and highly privileged functionality offered by the Teacher Console, the ability to silently exploit Cross Site Scripting (XSS) on the Teacher Machine enables remote code execution on any connected student machine (and the teacher's machine).
