Summary : Hex: Shard of Fate is a new breed of digital card game, combining
classic TCG gameplay with elements of an online RPG
Description : The game executable is prone to an unquoted path
vulnerability. When you go to the in-game store it fail to quote the
following command which is used multiple times :
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/HEX SHARDS OF
FATE/Hex_Data/StreamingAssets/uWebKit/Windows/x86/UWKProcess.exe -parentpid
5808
-processdb QzovVXNlcnMvVXRpbGlzYXRldXIvQXBwRGF0YS9Mb2NhbExvdy9IRVggRW50ZXJ0YWlubWVu
dC9IZXgvdVdlYktpdFByb2Nlc3MuZGI=
This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to
execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system.
POC :
Put a software named Program.exe in C:
Launch the game or steam with high privileges and go to store
