Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Zabbix Agent and Agent 2 on Windows, where the OpenSSL configuration file is loaded from a path that low-privileged users can write to. This allows an attacker with local access to modify the configuration file maliciously, potentially injecting a DLL that leads to local privilege escalation.
