------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Exploit Title: Riot Games League of Legends Insecure File Permissions Privilege Escalation # Date: 03/06/16 # Exploit Author: Cyril Vallicari (i give credit also to Vincent Yiu he probably found this too) # Vendor Homepage: http://www.leagueoflegends.com # Version : LeagueofLegends_EUW_Installer_2016_05_13.exe (last version) and LeagueofLegends_EUW_Installer_9_15_2014.exe (an old one) # Tested on: Windows 7 Professional x64 fully updated. But it should work on all windows system Description: The League of Legends Folder is installed with insecure file permissions. It was found that all folder and most file permissions were incorrectly configured during installation. It was possible to replace most binaries. This can be used to get a horizontal and vertical privilege escalation.

We are going to mark this as a won't fix as we're planning on will be taking this functionality offline soon with our new league client." "we determined that there are some design choices regarding the game client install location and default permissions that prevent us from changing the current behavior." I've try to explain that file permissions aren't a functionality that you take offline or design choices, without success. Sorry guys you will have to patch this manually..
