Description
NitroSense 3.x before 3.01.3052 contains Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability.The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing any authenticated local user to execute arbitrary code with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges and to delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges. By leveraging this, an attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.

Impact

Acer NitroSense V3 versions before 3.01.3052 contain a misconfigured Windows Named Pipe that exposes a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. The named pipe incorrectly grants any authenticated local user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and to delete any files with SYSTEM ownership. This flaw enables the attacker to run code with elevated privileges, effectively taking full control of the affected system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Acer NitroSense V3 product line. All releases of NitroSense 3.x prior to the fixed version 3.01.3056 are impacted. Users of version 3.01.3052 through 3.01.3055 and earlier releases are therefore at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is not available, which does not provide additional insight into the likelihood of exploitation. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Local exploit requires an authenticated user; the attack vector is therefore local and requires the attacker to be logged on to the affected machine.
