CVE-2020-1571 (GCVE-0-2020-1571)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-08-17 19:13 – Updated: 2024-08-04 06:39
VLAI?
Summary
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.
Severity ?
