Technical Analysis
This is a print spooler vulnerability similar to CVE-2020-1048, but it uses a specially-crafted *.SHD to trigger a print to a trusted location. Introduced at Blackhat on August 6, 2020, a patch is expected to appear next week in Microsoft’s patch Tuesday.
The vulnerability does require low privilege access and for the spooler service to restart.
PoC will be uploaded to https://github.com/SafeBreach-Labs/spooler on August 12.
This is extremely valuable to attackers. The exploit is most likely present on all versions of Windows from Windows 7 to present and the race is now on to patch it while PoCs are already in the wild.
