# Exploit Title      : KioWare Server Version 4.9.6 - Weak Folder Permissions Privilege Escalation
# Date               : 10/12/2018
# Exploit Author     : Hashim Jawad - @ihack4falafel
# Vendor Homepage    : https://www.kioware.com/
# Tested on          : Windows Server 2016 Standard (x64)
# CVE                : CVE-2018-18435

Description:
============
KioWare Server version 4.9.6 and older installs by default to "C:\kioware_com" with weak folder permissions granting any user full permission "Everyone: (F)" to the contents of the directory and it's sub-folders. In addition, the program installs a service called "KWSService" which runs as "Localsystem", this will allow any user to escalate privileges to "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" by substituting the service's binary with a malicious one.

Proof:
======
