Privilege escalation on Windows is not even a vulnerability, you just assume anything can become admin because that's how it always has been and that's how it always will be.

Now there were two causes: «Attacks that require the ability to drop files in arbitrary locations on the user's filesystem» and «Attacks that require physical access to the user’s device».

Yeah, makes sense. This is the general rule of thumb. If someone has physical access to your machine, then its assumed they've compromised it anyways. Nobody cares about local exploits.

>steamcucks stay silent and ignore the thread

this is a vulnerability on steam that will get patched, epic client is malware on its own

Don't need to read it because I don't care chink.

Hey chang, I don't know if you're aware, but writing to HKLM requires admin in the first place, so the EoP is pratically useless

just the opposite for me, I get dozens of account recovery requests for my steam account every month, nothing for my epic account.I figure it's cause I've got about 3000 games on steam. I have 2fa on both at least but it's a real fucking hassle.

You're a retard

Is Epic really trying to push this shit? Of course your shit is going to be compromised if you allow someone admin auth on your system.
If you are allowing people access to your system, you deserve this.
If you are allowing 3rd party sites to access your system, you deserve this.

The Rape of Nanking is Imperialist propaganda and never happened. Xi abolished term limits and Mao killed 100 million gookoids in a magnificent Leap Forward.

Not going to read any of that faggot nerd shit, the thread says steam is letting people steal my password when that literally doesn't matter because of steam guard.

There is nothing to discuss. There is no way for this to happen unless you are intentionally trying to make it happen.
If you were allowing physical access to your device you are an idiot. This was known in the 70s.

Realistically, how much ransom could you get from some autist with 250 indie games in his steam library installed via keys?

If you're dumb enough to get someone else to fix your computer, you're dumb enough the give them your password when they ask for it. Cause they will ask for it. Every time I've had to deal with IT they ask me for shit so they can "test the computer" and I just tell them to fuck off and deal with it myself.

There is new steam exploit every month, it has been like this for literaly 13 years. No one cares anymore

>A solution for your problem could be a background service running in the windows system context. This service is able to write access the registry HKLM hive due to system previleges. This service communicates with your application using an interprocess communication.
Heh

Functionally, you need access to run something on the system, that is all. Can be a restricted user with no admin privileges and this can allow elevation to full admin privileges.

You're a fucking idiot. There is HKLM (Hive Key Local Machine) and HKCU (Hive Key Current User). Both serve similar purposes, but one (LM) is for all users on the computer and therefor requires admin. CU is designed for user level programs to have a place to store their registry entries without impacting all other users on the computer, and doesn't require admin rights

If you need a repair why would you send it to some high street mug to fix it? They literally Google the solution themselves.
I've had official company repairs done on my stuff and they swear up and down they need the password to fix it, yet they fix it fine without.

He is not even wrong though, even if he is a bit obnoxious.

The point is that valve changed the permissions on the registry keys under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam so that all users have full control over them. Try it with a guest account or something if you don't believe me.

fake and gay unless you have meddling family members around

Essentially, if you have common sense 2019 installed, it's a big ball of nothing. Any exploits from this need your computer to be compromised in the first place.

If you download freegames.exe, you get hacked.

and it also requires creating symbolic links, something that you need admin for

if someone has PHYSICAL ACCESS to your computer then why does this exploit being a thing even matter? it's a flaw, but at that point you're already fucked.

While you're correct that nobody cares about you, they do care about a hundred thousand yous which is potentially a fucking lot of money and they absolutely are going to waste their time to try and tap into that "market". Being (largely) safe from high effort handcrafted attacks will not somehow turn you magically immune against generic automated dragnet attacks.

So why don't you record yourself doing this exploit on your computer on a non-administration account and post the video here to prove it? because we all know you're just trying to instigate a flame war and you actually don't know shit about how Windows works

yes they can check it on a guest account you dumb nigger, why would you give them full admin rights?

Why is someone else fixing your machine?

The average laptop user doesn't even understand what UAC is, much less how to boot into BIOS.
If they did they wouldn't give their laptop to some repair scam.

Ironically enough yes. We were throwing some shit out at work and I called dibs on it. But the point is, if you know how to do any of that, why would you still take your computer somewhere else to get repaired?

so you sidestepped the question on purpose then?
So you admit that Epic's market share is pitiful and they won't be around in 5 years?

No you idiot, it doesn't specifically let you steal passwords, it lets you freely distribute privileges, essentially allowing you to run whatever you want in admin mode.

So basically you need to run something for it do do any harm?
You do know that malwares have existed since the dawn of computers, right?
If there's a malicious dev who wants to upload an infected patch to his game, like you said, he can just bind a fucking malware to his executable and everyone will run it as admin because that's what people do when games ask them for permissions, or he can just use one of the thousand Windows UAC exploits.

So now we're supporting an actual good storefront that can only bring good to the industry run by a vastly more talented dev team with the most popular game in the world AND the most popular game engine. This is competition of the highest caliber and we're just part of the winning team.

This. I use the Epic Games Store exclusively these days. Why? Because not only is it safe gaming you get access to the best games available. Not only that but exclusive access to games made specifically for you. On Epic I know my data is safe, and my gaming needs are met. I have been playing For Honor as of late, Sweeney himself has bought and paid for this one and I enjoy a $40 value game, absolutely free. Great to be apart of the EGS family.

okay, its taking longer than i expected to get this VM set up
i don't see this as a particularly major issue though, as indicated in this post most people use admin accounts, and there's a way to prevent this yourself apparently:
>"Not a Steam option, but rather the windows service named "Steam Client Service". I don't know if it's the same for windows 10, but at least on 8.1 you can go to the Services tab of Task Manager, then click Open Services at the bottom. From there, locate the Steam Client Service, stop it if it's running, and set its startup type to "disabled" on its properties popup."
this has the drawback of UAC kicking in everytime you start a game up for the first time

Windows is actually the only modern OS without a command prompt, the one in Windows is emulated, which is why you have to run it as an admin when you actually want to do anything with it.

This shows how little you care about your privacy, CMD can be exploited. If your public computer can run CMD can run BAT or MSI or EXE that admin didn't explicitly allow to run, you shouldn't log into anything. You are sitting on a computer with potentially running keylogger on it.

Nigger you were saying it was impossible to symlink without admin access. Then you claimed you couldn't open cmd without admin access. Then you jump to a public computer scenario to try and backpedal because that was a straight fucking lie.
The whole point of this exploit is that it can do this shit without admin privileges.

no, people ITT called me an Epic game store shill, while I never even installed that shit, this hurt my feelings.
youtube.com/watch?v=w_os8HqfxHc

Steam is as secure as most secure application on Windows. It's not more or less secure than Maya

I don't care if it runs on my personal computer, that isn't an exploit. If you have access to my personal computer than you have already broken into my home, cracked my windows, cracked my encryption. This is all implausible at best.

45 days? Industry standard is 3-6 months notice

So can workshop mods exploit this?

assuming anything is secure is always unwise
didn't steam have an issue with someone putting malware in their shovelware game a while back?

it looks like by the time this VM installs, the thread will most likely die from hitting the bump limit. but i'm inclined to say this is a legit exploit with so many demonstrations of it.
now, is it big? no, not really, there's only some small cases where i'd argue this would be useful when done remotely, if this was RCE it'd be far more major. but as it stands its a fuckup with privs that'd presumably be easy to fix. in fact, you can fix it yourself right now by disabling the steam client service
is the guy dumb for breaking grace period? yes, he's probably now never gonna get much work in this field for sperging out like this

>implying the only way to use this exploit is by sitting at your computer and be using cmd
What is this dream scenario you have thought up? Regardless this still doesn't disprove the very original point . No matter how many times you move the goalpost. It also doesn't make it not an exploit.

It's almost like he knows is hardly anything but wants to stick it up to valve because reasons.
Maybe he thought he struck it rich on the bounty program.

Every exploit needs a good and understandably way to exploit it, I have exploit in my house, where I can open bathroom from outside. Is this cause of worry? No.
If you find exploit but can't find reasonable enough case for it, what are you exploiting?

Well it is an exploit for Steam so he probably got excited as fuck for it.

>the only game in my steam library is DOTA2, which I've spent 0$ on
feel free to steal my shit, bros.

You mean trigger people that gave them money.

Good to see you have conceded the point and admitted that at this point it is a matter of practicality. Not whether or not said exploit exists.

I can't believe it took 350 fucking posts for shitposting to settle down and reasonable posts start popping up.

I never said otherwise, this is why i made whole "admin protected", you fucking moron.

From my brainlet understanding, only malicious games or updates can really exploit this.

Don't install or play games that ask for admin, simple as that.

>still finds a way to blame Epic for steaming pile of shit

top lmao

The same way Chris Roberts wasted money away on unneeded bullshit to piss of SA Goons, yes.

The one that chewed the remote?

Only one of them is me and I said that you can't create this exploit without admin access, with is 100% true, if you are running your windows in admin account, stop because you clearly don't understand what is permitted with non admin account.

rent free and btw tencent is owned by south africans, perfect world on the other side is literally chink the company

worst case comes from this happening to a standard user rather than admin.
in this case, you'd need another exploit (usually in something like a web browser) that allows you to remotely access an account, you use this to EoP from a normal user to admin privs. admin privs means le hackerman has full control of your machine

if you used the exploit that gives you remote access and you hit an admin account, this is useless since you've already got admin privs

this can be prevented by disabling the steam client service as mentioned in this post with very little drawback

to put it simple:
>you can prevent this exploit yourself by disabling a service
>EoPs are useful only if you didnt immediately hit an admin account with the exploit you used to access the machine
>most people use an admin account as their main account on their PCs because security is hard
>the most likely case is little timmy gets his chrome hit with a zero day, and the hacker uses this to escalate onto admin privs and ruins the family computer

this can also be done with physical access, but if someone has physical access to your machine you're already fucked (see: evil maid and cold boot attacks)

the other avenue is malicious games, but in that case, don't fucking install shovelware. you also give admin privs to launch games first time anyways, the steam client service works to stop that from happening in every first launch you do.

Epic

Yea what kind of entitled go- i mean guy thinks he deserves to own anything

So if I use Steam Guard (thus making my Steam password useless without access to my phone), does this affect me at all?

So my gut instinct was right and it's a whole lot of nothing as long as you're not an idiot?

Hold up, i need to fix potential vulnerability by myself? Why valve is so anti-consumer

Not unless you use same password for your email as you do for your steam account.

yeah ok that sucks

lmao nope

Oh, so it's nothing.

Is this peak anti-steam drone education?

Good thing I use a special credot card for everything I do online and I never have more than 100 bucks in there

the liberals did this

If you get caught in this, they can do whatever they want to your PC. Your Steam account would be safe though.

This exploit can't give access to your credit card, all it can do is give access to your Steam password, and that is it.

Well more important question then, if the few things that can get people here are malicious games, how good is Steam at detecting literal malware in the hundreds of "games" that get into their store every day?

this isnt for stealing passwords, its for access to your pc
i personally argue its a low risk exploit regardless, but valve will most likely patch it since the person who found it sperged out and gave a low-grade exploit this much publicity

you don't have to fix it yourself, i'm just presenting a temp solution that patches it until valve fixes it. which they will, seeing as it garnered this much publicity for no good reason.
please don't stuff words in my mouth

its not hard to pull off, considering ledditors can do this with instructions
it's just it has such a small base where it could be worth using it, that i'd argue it's a small exploit.

Epic store has had password leak before it sold any games on it, so yea... it kinda isn't any better.

u wot

>Only one of them is me and I said that you can't create this exploit without admin access, with is 100% true
It is 100% not true you fucking retard. Unless of course you are talking about the initial steam install requiring admin usage but that is literally irrelevant since we are talking about an exploit that uses a steam installation. In a scenario where the user is a standard user with no group policy changes since 95% of people don't bother with that it is 100% possible for this exploit to be done. Feel free to test it in a VM if you don't believe me.

>Is there anything wrong with epic?

So it literally doesn't mean shit unless you use your on the shared family computer. Thanks, I guess. I guess that means I'm fine since I'm not an underage faggot who lives with their mom.

Well, standard user has admin privileges not all but most of them. But question is, why use this case? What good does this case bring? Injecting persons computer with a scrip and retrieving his Steam password? What will that achieve? What is the maximum harm that is possible with this exploit under this case?

If someone can do any of this in the first place, you're already fucked regardless of Steam.

what's odd is the lack of info on EGS, maybe because its still new? though i did find this in a quick search

malware in steam games has happened in the past, from a quick google search:

the main lesson is don't download shitty shovelware
i'd like to assume since these are the only two cases i can find, that valve runs quick tests on games now, but i don't work there so i can't verify

This is clearly a conspiracy Valve themselves planted because they're pumping large amounts of money into Linux so the more they fuck with Windows the better.

So how much do you think Epic paid for this leak?

Seems like you data was leaked somewhere else and even thought you are a fucking moron, epic still manage to protect your account. Why are you seething over this?

Heart by group_inou

>But question is, why use this case?
Because the only people that could potentially be affected by this are people with enough sense not to use a admin account for daily use or anyone on a family computer.
> What good does this case bring? Injecting persons computer with a scrip and retrieving his Steam password?
I'm not sure what you're attempting to say here due to your ESL garbage but assuming you mean what does the exploit allow you to do? All it does is let you elevate and run anything with admin privileges. So pretty much the usual drive encryption -> data ransoming, installing more malicious software. This wouldn't let you retrieve the steam password. Maybe you should actually read the PoCs and the initial writeup on the exploit.

zdnet.com/article/epic-games-unreal-engine-forums-hacked-in-latest-data-breach/
cnet.com/news/fortnite-had-a-security-vulnerability-that-let-hackers-take-over-accounts/

so if this is, all about gaining admin access in an admin access account, why use this exploit instead of billions others? WannaCry didn't even need admin access to being with. It's far easier and faster to get access to run arbitrary code in Windows than hoping for everyone to use Steam.

Weird, why do i feel like you are trying to manipulate people out there?

Yes, one is 4 years old forum breach. The other one requires you to fall for the "free v-buck" link, which is fixed.

Your point?

>all about gaining admin access in an admin access account
This is pointless when your definition of "admin access account" clearly differs from windows.

you would be surprised with how many people use an admin account on their home computer.
i personally don't think of this as too major, since you either need a dumb user to install something or a 0day on say a browser to get the initial access to pull this off.
this was still disclosed within grace period, which was a really shitty thing to do. i think it'll get fixed quickly since it's hilariously easy to do.

Awesome, I can surprise people with free games while playing their games.

if you go to User Accounts in CP, you will find that your standard account is marked as "administrator"

Wait, OP. Are you sure you are first to find this out?

Funny how I posted both Steam and Epic's pages, and also found a recent one involving their most popular game
Isn't it also amusing that the Valve exploits you linked are from HL1?

Why do I feel like you're trying to discredit someone explaining the exploit but also presenting both having issues with security?
Any and all popular software has exploits, it just used to be easier back in the day

nobody claimed that Steam isn't full of holes that people haven't found out yet. unfortunately this is how all of software is, this includes Steam, Epic, Paint fucking everything is like this. EGS just has had way more incidents in last year than any other game store out there.

That doesn't negate Epic's security issues, you absolute mongoloid.

Steam isn't safe either, this thread is proof of that. Only cock sucking retards defend distribution platforms.

Probably can figure the PoC is trying to do naughty things (aka priv escalation)
In the real world an exploit would be more clever about hiding what its trying to do

Fuck I hate steam, if it wasn't for the exclusives on it I would have dropped it years ago.

>Isn't it also amusing that the Valve exploits you linked are from HL1?

The ones you posted are all linked to unreal tournament or unreal engine so yeah. You are clearly biased, so maybe drop the mask already?

Great examples.

In the past year epic had one incident

If it's that easy to fix then why hasn't Valve done anything about it yet?

I have a few accounts that I made when I was like 10 that I haven't touched in well over a decade. Should I be worried?

I then linked an issue with Fortnite in the same post
Please, drop the act, no program is secure, neither steam nor epic

Reminder that the bank owns your money, not you. If a security breach occurs you'll lose everything and the bank won't reimburse you because that's just a known risk lmao

Horseshit. People are constantly having their credit card stolen on epic, retard nigger.

Well, then you can't run CMD without popup menu asking for permission, unless otherwise edited. making your whole exploit mooter than it was before. Editing Windows folder is also not possible, making your exploit almost useless.

Literally worse than anything that ever happened to Steam.

I'd say that they've got bigger priorities, such as setting up shit for that unusual hat fiasco that happened a couple weeks back
It's also generally expected that people actually follow grace periods and not sperg out and post shit way earlier than it should

Yes you can. I didn't do shit to group policies or this account and UAC did not pop up. CMD does not have to be run in admin mode despite your beliefs.

>Literally worse than anything that ever happened to Steam

Like scam links were never a thing in steam lol

This is correct
Regular users can use CMD, though a number of commands (among other things you could do) aren't allowed due to lack of admin privs
Unfortunately, the commands done with this don't require such privs

If CMD isn't admin tool, you are fucked as you can disable UAC from CMD, you can make your account administrative from CMD. What is the point of your exploit at this point?

>Reminder that the bank owns your money, not you. If a security breach occurs you'll lose everything and the bank won't reimburse you because that's just a known risk lmao

Of course a product like Steam is gonna have security breaches over it's lifetime, you dip. Pretty much every software does, from time to time, no software is perfect. Look up any, and I do mean ANY software that's as old as Steam that isn't fucking made by a literal who and used by like 10 people and you'll find just as many security issues over the years. Security issues happen, no matter the software. The only thing that really matters is how fast they can patch these issues once people know about them, if you don't fix them before people find out. And let's be frank here, with this shit, both Steam and Epic still have issues to fix.

>you are fucked as you can disable UAC from CMD, you can make your account administrative from CMD. What is the point of your exploit at this point?
No you can't you mouthbreather. From a normal CMD access will be denied.

that isnt the case where i live, where i'm at if the bank gets fucked in any way, you're entitled to have your money back up to a certain limit, which is a generous limit
this limit is for each individual bank you reg with, so you could just have a bunch of different accounts if you're really paranoid about the chance of the economy crashing

No it wont, windows has about ten garillion of privilege escalation exploits most of them done in CMD some in regedit, some in netstat. You found just one of million of ways to elevate privileges, congrats you aren't special.

and the source is where OP?
gotta say EPIC needs to up their game on PR
very weak

>this exploit shouldn't be fixed/doesn't exist because there are other exploits.
Nice. Also you would gladly cite some of those other exploits right? Ones that work on a fully updated windows 10 machine?

It is fairly obvious you don't have a clue and just want to look smart on the internet.
>netstat
lmao

i don't trust (((banks))), but where else can i hold all my money, you know? I dont like to have cash and i like using my credit card to build up my credit score.

If you have the permissions nessecary to even use this exploit in the first place then you don't even need Steam to fuck over someone's computer. This exploit just makes you jump through extra unnessecary hoops to achieve the same fucking thing. I mean this doesn't mean Valve shouldn't fix this shit, they definitely should, but pretty much nobody with the access nessecary to use this exploit in the first place would bother using this because there's much easier ways to do it.

where im at that moneyback thing is guaranteed by the (((government))) rather than (((banks)))

its a brainlet EoP, anyone can do it. however its fucking useless since its public
anything public usually gets patched super fast
