Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can be exploited locally to escalate privileges on the affected Windows system.

An attacker with standard user access can inject malicious code that will be executed with LocalSystem privileges, which are the highest level of permissions on a Windows system.

This can lead to full system compromise, allowing the attacker to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, install persistent malware, or disrupt system availability.
