Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sherpa Connector Service version 2020.2.20328.2050

Description The issue is related to an unquoted service path in the Sherpa Connector Service, which could allow a local user to escalate privileges. This can be achieved by creating a specific file, for example, "C:Program FilesSherpa SoftwareSherpa.exe".

Recommendations For version 2020.2.20328.2050, consider updating to a newer version that quotes the service path to prevent privilege escalation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the SherpaConnectorService.exe to minimize the risk of exploitation.
