## Vulnerable Application

### Description

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
on affected installations of Exchange Server. Authentication is
required to exploit this vulnerability. Additionally, the target user
must have the `Data Loss Prevention` role assigned and an active
mailbox.
wvu marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

If the user is in the `Compliance Management` or greater `Organization
Management` role groups, then they have the `Data Loss Prevention`
role. Since the user who installed Exchange is in the `Organization
Management` role group, they transitively have the `Data Loss
Prevention` role.

The specific flaw exists within the processing of the `New-DlpPolicy`
cmdlet. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of
user-supplied template data when creating a DLP policy. An attacker
can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of
`SYSTEM`.

Tested against Exchange Server 2016 CU14 on Windows Server 2016.

### Setup

Set up a [vulnerable target](#targets).

## Verification Steps

Follow [Setup](#setup) and [Scenarios](#scenarios).
