Summary
A vulnerability was identified in Planet9 due to incorrect file permissions on an application executable used by the background service. The service runs with SYSTEM privileges, while the executable grants excessive permissions to non-administrative users. An authenticated local user could modify or replace the executable and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
