Local executable modification via incorrect default permissions
Published Jan 21, 2024 · Updated May 30, 2025
Incorrect default permissions in the European Chemicals Agency IUCLID 7.10.3 Desktop Installer on Windows allow local users to modify iuclid6.exe. The installer assigns permissions to iuclid6.exe that leave the installed executable modifiable by users who should lack write access. Low-privilege local access is required; published evidence does not establish privilege escalation or code execution.
