Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Atera (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises from the C:WindowsTempAgent.Package.AvailabilityAgent.Package.Availability.exe file being automatically launched as SYSTEM when the system reboots. Since the C:WindowsTempAgent.Package.Availability folder inherits permissions from C:WindowsTemp and Agent.Package.Availability.exe is susceptible to DLL hijacking, standard users can write a malicious DLL to it and elevate their privileges.
