When it comes to user authentication, there are many options available, from passwords at the weaker end of the security spectrum to hardware keys at the other. But what if the hardware security key you use could leave your operating system exposed to attack? Yubico , the security vendor behind the range of YubiKey products, has issued a security advisory warning of just that scenario for Windows users.
Yubico says, “If a user runs the YubiKey Manager GUI as Administrator, browser windows opened by the YubiKey Manager GUI may be opened as Administrator, which could be exploited by a local attacker to perform actions as Administrator.” If this sounds worrying that’s because it is. An attacker, who would already need to have local access to the Windows machine concerned, could use this privilege escalation to further compromise that system.
