Windows named pipes are used to facilitate inter-process communication (IPC) including the transfer of application-specific data.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p><strong>See also:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/japan-investigates-potential-leak-of-prototype-missile-design-in-mitsubishi-hack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Japan investigates potential leak of prototype missile data in Mitsubishi hack<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Named pipes are able to impersonate the running client account which &#8220;allows the service to drop its credentials in favor of the connecting client,&#8221; Pen Test Partner notes, and while this is a legitimate feature, in some cases, it can also be abused.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This specific right, called &#8220;Impersonate a client after authentication,&#8221; is assigned to specific accounts by default including admin, IIS App Pool, and network service under the Service Control Manager.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anything started by the Service Control Manager will automatically get the impersonation privilege, no matter which account is used to start the service,&#8221; the team says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If an attacker is able to execute code under the context of a process with these privileges, they could set up a malicious pipe to compromise the Docker software, impersonate the system, and elevate their privileges to system-level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, this would require an initial attack vector to pull off, something the team has acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s say you happen to be hosting a vulnerable IIS Web Application on the same machine as Docker for Windows,&#8221; the researchers explained. &#8220;This could be one example of a successful attack vector. The initial attack vector could utilize a vulnerability in the web application to perform code execution under the limited IIS App Pool account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pen Test Partners disclosed their research on March 25. Originally, Docker said impersonation is a Windows feature and as such, the report should be sent to Microsoft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/how-to\/what-is-tor-a-beginners-guide-to-using-the-private-browser\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">What is Tor? A beginner&#8217;s guide to using the private browser<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, after submitting Proof-of-Concept (PoC) code and arguing that while it is a feature, it is also the developer&#8217;s responsibility to &#8220;ensure that impersonation is disabled if such a feature is not needed,&#8221; the research teams&#8217; findings were accepted as a security vulnerability on April 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A day later, fixes were pushed to the Edge release of Docker and a CVE number was assigned. On May 11, Docker released version 2.3.0.2 which <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.docker.com\/docker-for-windows\/release-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">includes a patch<\/a> for the vulnerability, involving the use of the SecurityIdentification impersonation level when connecting to the named pipes of spawned child processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will allow the server end of the pipe to get the identity and privileges of the client but not allow impersonation,&#8221; Pen Test Partners commented.<\/p>\n<p>Docker Desktop Community and Enterprise are now protected against this vulnerability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Previous and related coverage<\/h3>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Have a tip?<\/strong>
