AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade affected systems from Windows 10 Version 1507 to a supported and fully patched version of Windows 10 or later to eliminate the vulnerability.
  2. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict local access to affected systems by enforcing strict user account controls and limiting administrative privileges.
  3. Implement application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious activity related to Windows Push Notifications or privilege escalation attempts.
  4. Regularly audit and monitor logs for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts, focusing on local privilege escalation indicators.
  5. Disable or restrict Windows Push Notifications service where feasible in high-security environments to reduce attack surface.
  6. Educate system administrators and users about the risks of local privilege escalation and the importance of maintaining updated systems.
  7. Maintain a robust patch management process to quickly apply security updates once patches become available from Microsoft.
  8. Employ network segmentation to limit the impact of compromised systems and prevent lateral movement.

Description

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows Push Notifications allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
