CVE-2018-12441: Corsair Utility Engine

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The CorsairService Service in Corsair Utility Engine is installed with insecure default permissions, which allows unprivileged local users to execute arbitrary commands via modification of the CorsairService BINARY_PATH_NAME, leading to complete control of the affected system. The issue exists due to the Windows "Everyone" group being granted SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS permissions to the CorsairService Service.

Affected products

• Corsair Corsair Utility Engine: version 3.2.87 only; version 3.3.103 only; version 3.4.95 only; version 3.6.109 only; version 3.7.99 only
