Vulnerability discussion

The Secondary Logon service provides a means for entering alternate credentials, typically used to run commands with elevated privileges. Using privileged credentials in a standard user session can expose those credentials to theft.

Check content

Run "Services.msc". Locate the "Secondary Logon" service. If the "Startup Type" is not "Disabled", this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the "Secondary Logon" service "Startup Type" to "Disabled".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
