      "value": "The servereye client (also known as sensorhub, technically ClientAgentContainerService) versions 20.15 and earlier are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation. The high-privileged service SE3Recovery (EmergencyRecoveryService.exe), running as SYSTEM, periodically monitors the directory %ProgramData%\\ServerEye3\\update\\ for a trigger file named \"update_available\". Due to insufficient access restrictions on this directory, a local standard user can create the trigger file and provide a path to a directory containing malicious JSON instructions. The service subsequently executes the utility UpdaterAction.exe with SYSTEM privileges, which parses the instructions and performs an unvalidated file copy from a user-controlled source to a protected system destination (e.g., overwriting a service binary). This leads to full system compromise as the service automatically restarts the overwritten binary with SYSTEM privileges."

      "value": "El cliente servereye (también conocido como sensorhub, técnicamente ClientAgentContainerService) versiones 20.15 y anteriores son vulnerables a la escalada de privilegios local. El servicio con altos privilegios SE3Recovery (EmergencyRecoveryService.exe), ejecutándose como SYSTEM, monitorea periódicamente el directorio %ProgramData%\\ServerEye3\\update\\ en busca de un archivo disparador llamado ’update_available’. Debido a restricciones de acceso insuficientes en este directorio, un usuario estándar local puede crear el archivo disparador y proporcionar una ruta a un directorio que contenga instrucciones JSON maliciosas. El servicio posteriormente ejecuta la utilidad UpdaterAction.exe con privilegios de SYSTEM, que analiza las instrucciones y realiza una copia de archivo no validada desde un origen controlado por el usuario a un destino de sistema protegido (por ejemplo, sobrescribiendo un binario de servicio). Esto conduce a un compromiso total del sistema ya que el servicio reinicia automáticamente el binario sobrescrito con privilegios de SYSTEM."
