On Windows the Veyon Service before version 4.4.2 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability, allowing locally authenticated users with administrative privileges to run malicious executables with LocalSystem privileges. Since Veyon users (both students and teachers) usually don't have administrative privileges, this vulnerability is only dangerous in anyway unsafe setups. The problem has been fixed in version 4.4.2. As a workaround, the exploitation of the vulnerability can be prevented by revoking administrative privileges from all potentially untrustworthy users.

A vulnerability has been found in FileZilla Client 3.17.0.0 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\uninstall.exe of the component Installer. The manipulation leads to unquoted search path. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Aviatrix VPN Client before 2.14.14 on Windows has an unquoted search path that enables local privilege escalation to the SYSTEM user, if the machine is misconfigured to allow unprivileged users to write to directories that are supposed to be restricted to administrators.

Dell NetWorker, version(s) prior to 19.11.0.3, all versions of 19.10 & prior versions contain(s) an Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution.

Panini Everest Engine 2.0.4 allows unprivileged users to create a file named Everest.exe in the %PROGRAMDATA%\Panini folder. This leads to privilege escalation because a service, running as SYSTEM, uses the unquoted path of %PROGRAMDATA%\Panini\Everest Engine\EverestEngine.exe and therefore a Trojan horse %PROGRAMDATA%\Panini\Everest.exe may be executed instead of the intended vendor-supplied EverestEngine.exe file.

Windows Setup and Deployment Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

There is an unquoted service path in ASUSTeK Aura Ready Game SDK service (GameSDK.exe) 1.0.0.4. This might allow a local user to escalate privileges by creating a %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\ASUS\GameSDK.exe file.

A local unquoted search path security vulnerability has been identified in HPE Agentless Management Service for Windows version(s): Prior to 1.44.0.0, 10.96.0.0. This vulnerability could be exploited locally by a user with high privileges to execute malware that may lead to a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. HPE has provided software updates to resolve the vulnerability in HPE Agentless Management Service for Windows.

Unquoted service executable path in DXL Broker in McAfee Data eXchange Layer (DXL) Framework 6.0.0 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service and malicious file execution via carefully crafted and named executable files.

Net Monitor for Employees Pro through 5.3.4 has an unquoted service path, which allows a Security Feature Bypass of its documented "Block applications" design goal. The local attacker must have privileges to write to program.exe in a protected directory, such as the %SYSTEMDRIVE% directory, and thus the issue is not interpreted as a direct privilege escalation. However, the local attacker might have the goal of executing program.exe even though program.exe is a blocked application.
