Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Unicam FX (All versions)

Description The issue is related to the incorrect use of privileged APIs in the Windows installer agent used by Unicam FX. This could allow an attacker to perform a local privilege escalation attack by exploiting the vulnerability, which triggers the Windows Console Host (conhost.exe) as a child process with SYSTEM privileges.

Recommendations For Unicam FX (All versions), consider disabling the Windows installer agent temporarily until a patch is available to prevent potential exploitation. Restrict access to privileged APIs to minimize the risk of local privilege escalation attacks.
