Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects Matrix42 Remote Control Host version 3.20.0031 on Windows platforms. The services impacted are FastViewerRemoteService and FastViewerRemoteProxy.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.5 indicates a high severity issue. EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no widely known exploitation events yet. The likely attack vector requires local user privileges or insider access; an attacker must be able to place an executable in the Program Files folder and trigger the service at startup. The lack of remote access limitations means the risk is confined to users who can modify local files.
