AI-suggested

  1. 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.
  2. Restrict local access to systems running the affected version by enforcing strict access controls, including limiting administrative privileges and using least privilege principles.
  3. Implement application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts.
  4. Use network segmentation to isolate legacy systems and reduce the attack surface.
  5. Regularly audit user accounts and permissions to detect and remove unnecessary local accounts.
  6. Monitor system logs for unusual activity related to the CSC service or privilege escalation attempts.
  7. If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider disabling or restricting the CSC service where feasible, understanding the operational impact.
  8. 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.
