Local privilege escalation via overprivileged child processes
Published May 16, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Privilege escalation in Acronis Snap Deploy before build 3640 allows local users to gain elevated Windows privileges through child processes. The application assigns excessive permissions to child processes, but Acronis has not identified the affected executable, permission, or launch path. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and user interaction; successful abuse grants elevated control over data and service operation.
