An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Setup in the way it handles permissions. A locally authenticated attacker could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. After successfully exploiting the vulnerability, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring Windows Setup properly handles permissions.

Incorrect Default Permissions on C:\Programdata\Secdo\Logs folder in Secdo allows local authenticated users to overwrite system files and gain escalated privileges. This issue affects all versions Secdo for Windows.

Improper permissions in the installer for the Intel(R) Brand Verification Tool before version 11.0.0.1225 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

A smart camera product of ZTE is impacted by a permission and access control vulnerability. Due to the defect of user permission management by the cloud-end app, users whose sharing permissions have been revoked can still control the camera, such as restarting the camera, restoring factory settings, etc.. This affects ZXHN HS562 V1.0.0.0B2.0000, V1.0.0.0B3.0000E

Incorrect default permissions in the installer for the Intel(R) SSD Data Center Tool, versions downloaded before 12/31/2020, may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Incorrect default permissions in the Intel(R) NUC M15 Laptop Kit Driver Pack software before updated version 1.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Incorrect default permissions in the Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory for Windows software versions before 2.00.00.3842 or 1.00.00.3515 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

The Gw2-64.exe in Guild Wars 2 launcher version 106916 suffers from an elevation of privileges vulnerability which can be used by an "Authenticated User" to modify the existing executable file with a binary of his choice. The vulnerability exist due to the improper permissions, with the 'F' flag (Full Control) for 'Everyone' group, making the entire directory 'Guild Wars 2' and its files and sub-dirs world-writable.

Autodesk Licensing Installer was found to be vulnerable to privilege escalation issues. A malicious user with limited privileges could run any number of tools on a system to identify services that are configured with weak permissions and are running under elevated privileges. These weak permissions could allow all users on the operating system to modify the service configuration and take ownership of the service.

The Adobe ColdFusion installer fails to set a secure access-control list (ACL) on the default installation directory, such as C:\ColdFusion2021\. By default, unprivileged users can create files in this directory structure, which creates a privilege-escalation vulnerability.
