AI-suggested
- Upgrade affected systems to a supported and fully patched version of Windows 10 or later, as Windows 10 Version 1607 is an older release with limited support.
- Restrict local access to systems running the affected version by enforcing strict access controls, including limiting administrative privileges and using least privilege principles.
- Implement application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts.
- Use network segmentation to isolate legacy systems and reduce the attack surface.
- Regularly audit user accounts and permissions to detect and remove unnecessary local accounts.
- Monitor system logs for unusual activity related to the CSC service or privilege escalation attempts.
- If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider disabling or restricting the CSC service where feasible, understanding the operational impact.
- Stay alert for official patches or advisories from Microsoft and apply them promptly once available.
Description
Improper access control in Windows Client-Side Caching (CSC) Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
