AI-suggested
- Upgrade affected systems to a supported and fully patched version of Windows 10 or later to eliminate exposure to this vulnerability.
- Until patches are available, restrict local user permissions to the minimum necessary and limit the ability to create or manipulate symbolic or hard links.
- Implement strict application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor and block suspicious activities involving the Windows Recovery Driver or file system link manipulations.
- Enforce least privilege principles and disable unnecessary local accounts or services that could be leveraged for exploitation.
- Monitor system logs and audit events related to file access and recovery driver operations to detect potential exploitation attempts.
- Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted content or running unverified applications that could trigger the vulnerability.
- Prepare incident response plans specifically addressing local privilege escalation scenarios to enable rapid containment and remediation.
Description
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Recovery Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
