Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-06-16 00:00 – Updated: 2022-06-25 00:00

Details

Vulnerabilities in the Drive Composer allow a low privileged attacker to create and write to a file anywhere on the file system as SYSTEM with arbitrary content as long as the file does not already exist. The Drive Composer installer file allows a low-privileged user to run a "repair" operation on the product.

Severity

7.8 (High)
