The "nssm-2.24 exploit" refers to a potential vulnerability in NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager) version 2.24. NSSM is a service manager for Windows that allows you to run and manage services on Windows systems, similar to how services are managed on Unix-like systems. nssm-2.24 exploit
This feature describes the most common way NSSM 2.24 is exploited: leveraging misconfigured file permissions in bundled software. The Scenario : Many applications (like Apache CouchDB Wowza Streaming Engine Get-WmiObject Win32_Service | Where-Object $_
NSSM 2.24, when used to install a service, creates a service with default permissions. By default, the SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS is not granted to low-privileged users. However, if an administrator installs a service using NSSM without locking down the service’s DACL (Discretionary Access Control List), a local attacker with authenticated access could modify the service binary path. The Scenario : Many applications (like Apache CouchDB
NSSM is often flagged by antivirus software as "potentially unwanted software" because threat actors use its legitimate ability to restart processes for maintaining persistence Weak File Permissions (LPE): In some third-party software installers (e.g., Apache CouchDB 2.0.0 Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 ), the directory containing
