Official Description
Panda Platinum Internet Security 2006 10.02.01 and 2007 11.00.00 stores service executables under the product's installation directory with weak permissions, which allows local users to obtain LocalSystem privileges by modifying (1) WebProxy.exe or (2) PAVSRV51.EXE.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-4657 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
