AI-suggested

Organizations should prioritize upgrading from Windows 10 Version 1507 to a supported and patched version of Windows 10 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement strict local access controls to limit the number of users with local privileges. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor and block suspicious activities related to Windows Error Reporting. Regularly audit local user accounts and remove unnecessary privileges. Disable or restrict Windows Error Reporting if it is not essential in the environment, using Group Policy or system configuration tools. Monitor system logs for unusual behavior indicative of privilege escalation attempts. Stay informed about Microsoft’s security advisories for any forthcoming patches or workarounds addressing this vulnerability. Conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments focusing on local privilege escalation vectors to identify and remediate similar weaknesses.

Description

Improper input validation in Windows Error Reporting allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
