Local privilege escalation to Windows system
Published Jul 2, 2024 · Updated Mar 21, 2025
Improper privilege management in Jungo WinDriver 6.0.0 through 16.1.0 allows local users to gain Windows system privileges. Public vendor records identify the affected locus only as WinDriver's Windows kernel component and do not disclose the incorrect privileged operation. Exploitation requires a local low-privileged user to execute malicious code and complete user interaction, after which arbitrary commands run with Windows system privileges.
