Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a local privilege escalation caused by an EXE hijacking issue in Acronis DeviceLock DLP (Windows) versions before build 9.0.15051.93227.

EXE hijacking typically involves an attacker placing a malicious executable in a location where a legitimate application mistakenly loads it, allowing the attacker to gain elevated privileges on the affected system.

Impact Analysis

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can escalate their privileges locally on the affected system.

This means the attacker could gain higher-level access rights than originally permitted, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions, compromise system integrity, and access sensitive data.
