Exploit Derived From ETERNALSYNERGY Upgraded to Target Newer Windows Versions

itman · Jul 17, 2017

Thai security researcher Worawit Wang has put together an exploit based on ETERNALSYNERGY that can also target newer versions of the Windows operating system.

ETERNALSYNERGY is one of the NSA exploits leaked by the Shadow Brokers hacking group in April this year. According to a Microsoft technical analysis, the exploit can allow an attacker to execute code on Windows machines with SMB services exposed to external connections.

The exploit works up to Windows 8. According to Microsoft, the techniques used in the original ETERNALSYNERGY exploit do not work on newer platforms due to several kernel security improvements.

Under the hood, ETERNALSYNERGY leverages a vulnerability in version 1 of the SMB file sharing protocol. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2017-0143.
