| Detailed Description |
The PGP Desktop, according to its version number, has a privilege escalation vulnerability. PGP Desktop versions prior to 9.5.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges, caused by improper validation in the PGPServ.exe and PGPsdkServ.exe services. A local attacker (or remote authenticated attacker) could send a specially crafted object to the service interface to execute arbitrary code on the affected host with LocalSystem privileges.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
