Descriptions

Ubiquiti UniFi Video before 3.8.0 for Windows uses weak permissions for the installation directory, which allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges via a Trojan horse taskkill.exe file.

Ubiquiti UniFi Video, en versiones anteriores a la 3.8.0 para Windows, emplea permisos débiles para el directorio de instalación, lo que permite que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios SYSTEM mediante un archivo troyano taskkill.exe.

Ubiquiti UniFi Video version 3.7.3 (Windows) suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to insecure directory permissions.
