Re: Point of Sale WinREST machines remote privilege escalation

[Douglas Held <risk () douglasheld net>]

Victor,

Impressive work but it seems to me you went further than necessary. The
consequences of the open access were obvious without actually logging on
and tainting the target system.

Did you at least try to inform PIE of the vulnerable deployment? What was
their response?

regards,
Doug
