DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in Tonec Internet Download Manager up to 6.42 Build 63 on Windows. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file idmwfp.sys of the component Kernel Driver. The manipulation results in improper access controls. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Tonec Internet Download Manager (IDM) versions up to 6.42 Build 63 on Windows allows a low-privileged local attacker to gain full SYSTEM-level kernel control by exploiting improper access controls in the idmwfp.sys kernel driver (CWE-284). A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub under the repository name IDM_LPE_PoC, substantially lowering the barrier to exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must have a local Windows user session (low-privilege OS account is sufficient) on a system where Internet Download Manager version 6.42 Build 63 or earlier is installed and the idmwfp.sys kernel driver is loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N with VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H and E:P reflects a reliable, low-complexity local privilege escalation with kernel-scope impact, and the E:P modifier confirms a public proof-of-concept exists. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis - the vendor did not respond to responsible disclosure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running IDM versions 6.42 Build 63 or earlier and determine business criticality of each. …
