A persistent vulnerability in the Narrator accessibility tool has been a concern, allowing attackers to compromise systems. The exploit relies on replacing a DLL used by Narrator, enabling malicious code execution without alerting users. The technique, uncovered by TrustedSec, emphasizes the need for vigilance regarding DLL paths and registry changes.
Attackers can gain persistence by modifying registry entries, allowing the malicious DLL to execute at user login. This method provides a stealthy foothold within user contexts and can escalate to SYSTEM-level persistence. Notably, attackers can utilize remote access tools to deploy the exploit, showcasing a robust means of lateral movement across affected systems. Without an assigned CVE, the urgency for organizations to address these legacy vulnerabilities is critical, especially in ensuring the safe operation of accessibility features.
