CVE-2015-7378 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Panda Security URL Filtering versions prior to 4.3.1.9. This flaw stems from weak Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the product's installation directory and files, specifically allowing modification of Panda_URL_Filteringb.exe. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (HIGH), an attacker with local user privileges can exploit this to gain SYSTEM-level access, leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild and lacking Metasploit or Nuclei modules, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, and there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
