Description

dBpowerAMP contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is caused due to weak default directory permissions and is triggered when "auxiliary.exe" invokes the "sndvol32.exe" utility when configuring the input source, allowing a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges and leading to a loss of integrity. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the application must have been installed in a non-default location.
