Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VIPRE Advanced Security (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the Patch Management Agent component of VIPRE Advanced Security, which incorrectly handles symbolic links before accessing a file. This allows an attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations by creating a symbolic link to abuse the agent and delete a file, potentially executing arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system to exploit this vulnerability.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
