Security Feature Bypass – Windows Mark of the Web “Copy2Pwn” (CVE-2024-38213)

Security Feature Bypass - Windows Mark of the Web Copy2Pwn (CVE-2024-38213)

Security Feature Bypass – Windows Mark of the Web “Copy2Pwn” (CVE-2024-38213). The vulnerability was released as part of the August Microsoft Patch Tuesday (although ZDI writes that MS fixed it earlier, in June).

The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass the SmartScreen security feature, which protects users from running potentially malicious files downloaded from the Internet.

What is it about? There is a set of extensions over HTTP for collaborative work with files – WebDAV.

🔹 The WebDAV share can be accessed via a web browser::

http://10_.37.129.2/example_webdav_folder/somefile

🔹 Or you can do it via Windows Explorer (like SMB):

\\10_.37.129.2@80\example_webdav_folder

When copying from the WebDAV share via Windows Explorer, the Mark-of-the-Web label was not set. 🤷‍♂️ That’s why the name is “Copy2Pwn”. 😏

According to ZDI, the vulnerability has been exploited by the DarkGate malware operator since at least March 2024.
