Local privilege escalation via binary hijacking
Published Mar 26, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Binary hijacking in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent for Windows before build 39713 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Acronis identifies an untrusted search path but has not disclosed the affected binary, searched resource, or attacker-controlled path. Exploitation requires existing low-privileged local access and high-complexity conditions; successful abuse exposes confidential data and permits modification with elevated rights.
