Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Tonec Internet Download Manager versions prior to 6.42 Build 64
Description An improper access control issue exists in the idmwfp.sys kernel driver of Tonec Internet Download Manager on Windows. The driver exposes the .IDMWFP device interface to authenticated local users with generic access. Specifically, the IOCTL 0x12C028 handler processes registry-operation subcommands 0x0C through 0x0F without authenticating the caller or enforcing registry permissions. This allows a low-privileged local authenticated user to read, create, modify, and delete arbitrary registry values under HKLM and HKU. Such manipulation can lead to Local Privilege Escalation to SYSTEM, high-privilege persistence, and unauthorized modification of system configurations, compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
