Vendor Workaround
Trust the Fiddler Classic certificate only in the Current User certificate store. When the application asks to install the certificate in the Local Computer (local machine) store, choose No. If a machine-wide trust is required, export the certificate to a file and import that file into the Local Computer Trusted Root Certification Authorities store manually.

| Description | In Progress® Telerik® Fiddler® Classic for Windows, versions prior to v6.0.20262.10021, a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in the installation of the HTTPS interception root certificate into the Local Computer certificate store. Fiddler writes the certificate to a temporary file in a user-writable location and then launches the external TrustCert helper application, which elevates and imports the certificate from that file. A local threat actor with low privileges who replaces the temporary file between the time it is written and the time the elevated helper reads it can cause an attacker-supplied root certificate to be installed in the Local Computer Trusted Root Certification Authorities store, enabling subsequent interception and modification of TLS-protected traffic on the machine. Successful exploitation requires the user to initiate the certificate trust operation and approve the elevation prompt. | |
