Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Netdata versions 2.0.0 through 2.10.3
Description
During the MSI repair process of the Netdata Windows Agent,
powershell.exe is executed with SYSTEM privileges without the -NoProfile flag. This causes the system to load the Microsoft.PowerShell profile.ps1 file from the %USERPROFILE%DocumentsWindowsPowerShell directory of the low-privileged user who started the repair. Consequently, any commands placed within that profile by the user are executed with elevated SYSTEM privileges.Recommendations
Update to version 2.10.4.
