  • [Summary]
    The Pronestor service "PNHM" (aka Health Monitoring or HealthMonitor) 
    before 8.1.12.0 has "BUILTIN\Users:(I)(F)" permissions for 
    the "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\proNestor\Outlook add-in for Pronestor\PronestorHealthMonitor.exe" file, 
    which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse PronestorHealthMonitor.exe file.
    
    During the installation of Pronestors Outlook-Add-In (version 8.1.11.0 
    and older) the installer creates a service named PNHM (Pronester 
    Health Monitoring) with weak file permission running as SYSTEM.
    The vulnerability allows all "Authenticated Users" to potentially 
    execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM on the local system.
    
    [Additional Information]
    Tested on Windows 7.
    Version: Outlook Add-In 8.1.11.0 and older
    Also tested on version 5.1.6.0 with same result.

    Notice: "BUILIN\Users:(I)(F)". (F) = Full access!
    This means that an authenticated user can change the file
    
    [Attack Vectors]
    Replace the file "PronestorHealthMonitor.exe" with a malicious file 
    also called "PronesterHealthMonitor.exe". Next time the service (PNHM) 
    starts, the malicious file will get executed as SYSTEM. The service 
    starts on every reboot.
    
    [Affected Component]
    PronestorHealthMonitor.exe
    This exe will be executed on every reboot by a service named PNHM running as SYSTEM.
