HIGH
Net Monitor for Employees Pro < 5.3.4 - Unquoted Service Path Privilege Escalation
Record summary
CVE-2017-7180 has a selected CVSS score of 7.3 (high); EIP currently links 1 catalogued exploit.
Description
Net Monitor for Employees Pro through 5.3.4 has an unquoted service path, which allows a Security Feature Bypass of its documented "Block applications" design goal. The local attacker must have privileges to write to program.exe in a protected directory, such as the %SYSTEMDRIVE% directory, and thus the issue is not interpreted as a direct privilege escalation. However, the local attacker might have the goal of executing program.exe even though program.exe is a blocked application.
