Descriptions

Secdo tries to execute a script at a hardcoded path if present, which allows a local authenticated user with 'create folders or append data' access to the root of the OS disk (C:\) to gain system privileges if the path does not already exist or is writable. This issue affects all versions of Secdo for Windows.

Secdo intenta ejecutar un script en una ruta embebida si está presente, lo que permite a un usuario autenticado local con acceso a "create folders or append data" en la root del disco del Sistema Operativo (C:\) para alcanzar privilegios system si la ruta aún no existe o es escribible. Este problema afecta a todas las versiones de Secdo para Windows.
