What to do

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately verify their DriveLock versions and prioritize upgrading to versions 24.1.6, 24.2.7, or 25.1.5 or later where the vulnerability is patched. In the absence of immediate patching, organizations should enforce strict local user privilege management, restricting access to only trusted users and minimizing the number of users with local access rights. Implement application whitelisting and monitor for unusual process manipulations related to DriveLock. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect anomalous command executions and privilege escalations. Regularly audit local accounts and remove or disable unnecessary ones. Network segmentation can limit the impact of compromised endpoints. Additionally, educate users about the risks of local access exploitation and enforce strong physical security controls to prevent unauthorized local access to devices. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to quickly recover from potential compromises.

Description

An issue was discovered in DriveLock 24.1 before 24.1.6, 24.2 before 24.2.7, and 25.1 before 25.1.5. Local unprivileged users can manipulate a DriveLock process to execute arbitrary commands on Windows computers.
