CVE-2020-5755: Webroot Endpoint Agents

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Webroot endpoint agents prior to version v9.0.28.48 did not protect the "%PROGRAMDATA%\WrData\PKG" directory against renaming. This could allow attackers to trigger a crash or wait upon Webroot service restart to rewrite and hijack dlls in this directory for privilege escalation.

Affected products

• Webroot Endpoint Agents: before 9.0.28.48 (fixed in 9.0.28.48)
