HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs
Summary
The AdvancedSystemCareService10 service in IObit Advanced SystemCare 10.0.2 has an unquoted service path vulnerability. A local attacker can place a malicious executable in the service path, leading to privilege escalation to LocalSystem when the service restarts or the system reboots.
Risk Assessment
The organization faces the risk of a local attacker gaining full system control, allowing arbitrary code execution with system privileges, which could lead to data theft, malware installation, or further network compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update IObit Advanced SystemCare to the latest version that fixes this vulnerability. As a preventive measure, also enclose the service path in quotes in the system registry.
