High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Total Defense Anti-virus 9.0.0.773, insecure access control for the directory %PROGRAMDATA%\TotalDefense\Consumer\ISS\9\bd\TDUpdate2\ used by AMRT.exe allows local attackers to hijack bdcore.dll, which leads to privilege escalation when the AMRT service loads the DLL.
