Vulnerability CVE-2020-24574


Published: 2020-08-21

Description:
The client (aka GalaxyClientService.exe) in GOG GALAXY through 2.0.20 allows local privilege escalation from any authenticated user to SYSTEM by instructing the Windows service to execute arbitrary commands. This occurs because the attacker can inject a DLL into GalaxyClient.exe, defeating the TCP-based "trusted client" protection mechanism.

Type:
