CVE-2025-14493Hinoki check available

SYSTEM code execution via exposed service function

Published Dec 23, 2025 · Updated Dec 23, 2025

Dangerous function exposure in the SAS Core Service in RealDefense SUPERAntiSpyware 10.0.1276 allows local users to run code as SYSTEM. The service exposes a dangerous function without adequately restricting low-privileged callers, but published material does not identify the function or interface. Low-privileged code execution on the Windows host is required, after which arbitrary code runs in the SYSTEM context.
