eParakstītājs Windows Update Code Execution Vulnerability

Assigner: ENISA

Description

eParakstītājs 3.0 for Windows before version 1.10.0 retrieves and executes its automatic updates over a channel that is not authenticated or integrity-protected. On each launch the application fetches an update descriptor (XML) over TLS but accepts any TLS certificate (a permissive TrustManager and a HostnameVerifier that always returns true), does not verify any digital signature on the update descriptor, and does not verify the Authenticode signature or a checksum of the downloaded installer before running it. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to redirect www.eparaksts.lv can serve a crafted update descriptor pointing to an attacker-controlled executable, which the client downloads and executes, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the victim host.

Executive Summary

eParakstītājs 3.0 for Windows before version 1.10.0 has an insecure update mechanism. The application fetches update files over TLS but does not properly verify the authenticity or integrity of these updates. It accepts any TLS certificate, lacks digital signature checks on update descriptors, and does not validate the installer's Authenticode signature or checksum before execution. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to replace legitimate updates with malicious ones.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires monitoring network traffic for unsecured update requests or unusual executable downloads. Check if eParakstītājs versions before 1.10.0 are installed and inspect TLS traffic to www.eparaksts.lv for missing certificate validation. Use packet capture tools like Wireshark to analyze update descriptor downloads.

Impact Analysis

If you use eParakstītājs 3.0 for Windows before version 1.10.0, an attacker on the same network or between you and the update server could intercept and replace updates with malware. This could lead to arbitrary code execution on your system, potentially compromising sensitive data, installing ransomware, or giving attackers full control over your device.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized code execution, potentially exposing personal or sensitive data. This may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information, depending on the data processed by the application.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately upgrade eParakstītājs to version 1.10.0 or later. Block or monitor outbound connections to www.eparaksts.lv if not required. Disable automatic updates if manual verification is not possible. Ensure all executables are verified before execution.
