Summary
Argus Surveillance DVR 4.0 has an unquoted service path vulnerability in the DVRWatchdog service, allowing local attackers to escalate privileges by placing a malicious executable in the Program Files directory.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can place a malicious file that executes with LocalSystem privileges when the service starts, leading to full system control.
Recommendation
Update Argus Surveillance DVR to a version that fixes the unquoted service path.
