Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published May 16, 2025 · Updated May 16, 2025
Uncontrolled search path in CBEWIN AnyTXT Searcher 1.3.1128.0 allows local users to elevate privileges through ATService.exe. The public disclosure identifies ATService.exe as the affected indexing service but does not name the searched resource, attacker-controlled directory, or unsafe load operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and high attack complexity; successful use runs attacker-controlled code with the service's privileges.
