Unauthenticated SYSTEM code execution via unsafe deserialization
Published Nov 8, 2022 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Insecure deserialization in Netwrix Auditor before 10.5 allows remote attackers to execute code as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM over TCP port 9004. The UAVRServer .NET remoting endpoint accepts attacker-supplied serialized objects and instantiates them without a trust boundary, triggering gadget-driven command execution. The server is exposed regardless of User Activity configuration; monitored Windows systems are exposed when the User Activity data source or a stale agent is present.
