As a researcher I often run into situations in which I need to make a compiled binary do things that it wouldn’t normally do or change the way it works in some way. Of course, if one…
As soon as they mentioned FixDirPrivileges as a command sent over IPC to a privileges process, I knew it was over. Being able to give read-write access to “Everybody” simply by sending a command is asking for trouble. They might’ve even taken the long route of creating a DLL that the privileged process loads. Is it no possible to replace the privileged process altogether with any random binary?
