Acer · Acer Quickaccess · CVE-2022-24286
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Acer QuickAccess versions 2.01.300x through 2.01.3029
Acer QuickAccess versions 3.00.30xx through 3.00.3037
**Description**
The issue concerns a local privilege escalation. It involves a user process communicating with a system authority service through a named pipe, where the named pipe has read and write rights for general users. The service program fails to verify the user during communication, allowing a thread to exist with a specific command. When the path of the program to be executed is sent, it results in local privilege escalation, where the service program executes the path with system privileges.
**Recommendations**
For Acer QuickAccess versions 2.01.300x through 2.01.3029, update to version 2.01.3030 or later.
For Acer QuickAccess versions 3.00.30xx through 3.00.3037, update to version 3.00.3038 or later.
