vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2022-30147 is a Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability that was disclosed in June 2022. The vulnerability affects various versions of Microsoft Windows, including Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server installations (NVD, CVE).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 HIGH, with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. This indicates that the vulnerability requires local access and low privileges to exploit, but can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).
Impact
Once successfully exploited, an attacker can elevate their initial level of access up to that of an administrator, which would allow them to disable security tools and, in the case of ransomware attacks, leverage access to more sensitive data before encrypting files (Hacker News).
Mitigation and workarounds
Microsoft has released security patches for all affected versions of Windows, including Windows Server Core installations. Organizations are advised to apply the available patches as soon as possible to mitigate this vulnerability (Tenable).
