Windows Power Dependency Coordinator Flaw

August 13, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Alerts

CVE-2024-38107 is a zero-day elevation of privilege vulnerability affecting the Windows Power Dependency Coordinator (pdc.sys), a driver responsible for managing power on Windows systems. This vulnerability allows attackers to escalate their privileges to SYSTEM level, providing them with full control over the compromised system. The flaw has been actively exploited in the wild, though no specific indicators of compromise (IOCs) or detailed telemetry have been made publicly available at the time of disclosure.

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSSv3 score of 7.8, classifying it as “important” in terms of severity. An attacker exploiting CVE-2024-38107 could potentially execute malicious code with elevated privileges, significantly increasing the risk of system compromise. This type of attack can lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of critical system components, further escalating the potential damage.

Microsoft has issued patches to mitigate this vulnerability across all supported versions of Windows and Windows Server. The company has emphasized the importance of applying these patches immediately to reduce the risk of exploitation, given the active nature of this zero-day attack. Organizations should prioritize patching systems to ensure they are protected from potential exploitation.

Despite the availability of patches, Microsoft has not provided detailed information on how the vulnerability is being exploited in real-world attacks. The lack of exploit telemetry or specific indicators means that security teams must rely heavily on patching as the primary means of defense. Continuous monitoring of systems for unusual activity is recommended to detect any signs of exploitation related to this flaw.
