CVE-2015-8536Network attack vector

SYSTEM code execution via cross-origin service requests

Published Mar 27, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Lenovo Solution Center before 3.3.002 allows remote attackers to execute code with SYSTEM privileges. The LSCTaskService HTTP daemon on port 55555 accepts cross-origin GET and POST requests from any domain and dispatches them to unsafe LSCController.dll methods. Exploitation requires the service to have been launched and a user to view crafted HTML; closing Solution Center stops the service.
