Summary

AVACAST by eMPIA Technology has an Unquoted Service Path vulnerability, allowing a privileged local attacker to place a malicious executable in a specific directory, resulting in arbitrary code execution with system privileges when the AVACAST service starts.

Risk Assessment

It enables a local privileged attacker to escalate to SYSTEM and fully compromise the host, though it requires write access to the relevant directory.

Recommendation

Fix the AVACAST service configuration by quoting the executable path, or update the software to a patched version. Restrict write permissions in service directories.
