Net Monitor · Net Monitor For Employees Pro · CVE-2017-7180
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Net Monitor for Employees Pro versions 5.3.4 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows a Security Feature Bypass of the "Block applications" design goal. A local attacker with privileges to write to program.exe in a protected directory, such as the %SYSTEMDRIVE% directory, can exploit this. The goal of the attacker might be to execute program.exe even though it is a blocked application.
**Recommendations**
For Net Monitor for Employees Pro versions 5.3.4 and earlier, consider restricting write access to the program.exe file in protected directories to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional access controls to prevent the execution of blocked applications until a fix is available.
