SHFolder.DLL Local Privilege Elevation Exploit for Comodo Anti-Virus GeekBuddy Component by @Laughing_Mantis (Greg Linares)
Since it took 146 days to fix a DLL Hijack issue I decided to drop this PoC:
###Technical Geeky Stuff###
GeekBuddy stores several helper applications within the C:\ProgramData\Comodo\lps4\temp folder.
These binaries are individual components of the Comodo Security Suite and are executed whenever
their related function is performed, updated, or uninstalled.
The directory listing is as follows:

The C:\ProgramData\Comodo\lps4\temp\ folder has the following permission configuration:
C:\ProgramData\Comodo\lps4\temp NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(ID)F
BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(ID)F
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(ID)F
BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(ID)R
BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(ID)(special access:)
FILE_WRITE_DATA
FILE_APPEND_DATA
FILE_WRITE_EA
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES
Notice how the folder allows Users to have FILE_WRITE_DATA and FILE_WRITE_EA access.This allows
non-administrator users the ability to create files in the directory but not delete or modify
existing files.
Comodo's main service engine is controlled by the SYSTEM service Launcher-Service.exe which resides
in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\COMODO\ folder.This service is auto launched by the
registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CLPSLauncher
This binary will then launch Unit_Manager.exe in the C:\Program Files\COMODO\GeekBuddy with SYSTEM
level privielges.This binary in turn then launches the binary C:\Program Files\COMODO\GeekBuddy\unit.exe
to handle each sub process in the C:\ProgramData\Comodo\lps4\temp\ folder.
During client connections to update servers and Geek Buddy executions the unit.exe binary will
launch the binary setup_clps_client_transaction_release-4.19.365037.89.exe.This setup binary has
hardcoded DLL loading procedures to look for SHFOLDER.DLL in the current directory which it is
executed from.
.data:00409240 dd offset aShfolder ; "SHFOLDER"
.data:00409244 dd offset aShgetfolderpat ; "SHGetFolderPathA"
During this delay load procedure the exe will load SHFOLDER.DLL from its local directory before
looking in the other PATHS variables.
By planting a malicious SHFOLDER.DLL in the C:\ProgramData\Comodo\lps4\temp\ and triggering an
update or client connection to secure servers (which occurs automatically at user login) a user can
elevate their privileges to SYSTEM and compromise the system fully.
