CVE-2019-1229 — An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Dynamics On-Premise v9

High CVSS 8.8

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Dynamics On-Premise v9. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could leverage a customizer privilege within Dynamics to gain control of the Web Role hosting the Dynamics installation. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to have credentials for a user that has permission to author customized business rules in Dynamics, and persist XAML script in a way that causes it to be interpreted as code. The update addresses the vulnerability by restricting XAML activities to a whitelisted set.

Matched remediation archetype

Privilege escalation and unsafe privilege management

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map service accounts, operating-system identities, roles, capabilities, impersonation, set-user transitions, and administrative helper paths.
  • Determine whether untrusted users or lower-privilege processes can reach the affected transition or modify inputs it trusts.
  • Review file, socket, registry, device, job, container, and cloud-role permissions used before and after privilege changes.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and redesign privileged operations as a minimal, authenticated, allowlisted interface.
  • Drop privileges before processing untrusted input, verify the drop succeeds, and remove unnecessary roles, capabilities, and write permissions.
  • Validate ownership and permissions at time of use and add explicit lower-to-higher privilege boundary tests.
