medium Nessus Plugin ID 271811
Language:
Synopsis
A system management application installed on the remote host is affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability.Description
The Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager application installed on the remote host is missing a security hotfix documented in the vendor advisory. It is, therefore, affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by modifying the user principal name (UPN) of a valid Microsoft Entra ID account or create a new Account to impersonate an Active Directory user with the same UPN that was not synchronized to Entra ID. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized administrative control over Microsoft Configuration Manager and its managed clients.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Apply the security patch according to the vendor.See Also
