Local privilege escalation via insecure folder permissions
Published Jan 28, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Local privilege escalation in Acronis Snap Deploy for Windows before build 4625 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Acronis attributes the flaw to insecure folder permissions but has not disclosed the affected folder or the privileged operation that uses its contents. Exploitation requires existing low-privileged local access, high-complexity conditions, and interaction by another user, and the result is privilege elevation on the host.
