CVE-2018-17775

CVE-2018-17775 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in Seqrite End Point Security v7.4. The flaw stems from overly permissive file system permissions on the product's installation directory, allowing any local user to replace legitimate executable files with malicious ones. This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 7.8, indicating that a low-privileged local attacker can achieve full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) with low attack complexity. While there is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild or Metasploit modules, a proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available on ExploitDB, suggesting a potential for future exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal.
