Descriptions

Wibu-Systems CodeMeter Runtime before 5.20 uses weak permissions (read and write access for all users) for codemeter.exe, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

Wibu-Systems CodeMeter Runtime anterior a 5.20 utiliza permisos débiles (acceso de lectura y escritura para todos los usuarios) para codemeter.exe, lo que permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios a través de un fichero troyano.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the codemeter.exe Windows service. When installed with the default settings, this service allows Read/Write access to any user, meaning any user can modify the location of the binary executed by the service with SYSTEM privileges.
