CVE-2021-44226 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Razer Synapse versions prior to 3.7.0228.022817 on Microsoft Windows. It arises because Synapse relies on a directory within %PROGRAMDATA% that an unprivileged user can pre-create and populate with malicious DLLs, leading to arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. With a CVSS score of 7.3 (HIGH), this vulnerability has a low attack complexity but requires user interaction. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there public exploits available in Metasploit or ExploitDB, though it has seen some community discussion on Reddit.
