Summary

A carefully crafted DLL copied to the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder allows a local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges during driver installation.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker with low privileges could achieve code execution with elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise. This requires the ability to write to the specified folder.

Recommendation

Restrict write permissions to the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder to trusted accounts and administrators only. Update Synaptics drivers to a fixed version and monitor for unusual DLL files in that directory.
