Local Privilege Escalation via Unquoted Service Path in Arcsoft PhotoStudio 6.0.0.172 (ArcSoft Exchange Service)
Arcsoft PhotoStudio 6.0.0.172 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the Windows service "ArcSoft Exchange Service". Because the service binary path is not properly quoted, Windows may resolve and execute an attacker-controlled executable placed earlier in the interpreted search path (e.g., in a writable directory corresponding to a space-delimited segment of the service path). A local attacker can leverage this to cause the service to launch the malicious executable, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the service’s security context (reported as SYSTEM-level).
